Effects of N-acetylcysteine and pentoxifylline on remote lung injury in a rat model of hind-limb ischemia/reperfusion injury

Objective

: To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and pentoxifylline in a model of remote organ injury after hind-limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats, the lungs being the remote organ system.

Methods

: Thirty-five male Wistar rats were assigned to one of five conditions (n = 7/group), as follows: sham operation (control group); hind-limb ischemia, induced by clamping the left femoral artery, for 2 h, followed by 24 h of reperfusion (I/R group); and hind-limb ischemia, as above, followed by intraperitoneal injection (prior to reperfusion) of 150 mg/kg of NAC (I/R+NAC group), 40 mg/kg of pentoxifylline (I/R+PTX group), or both (I/R+NAC+PTX group). At the end of the trial, lung tissues were removed for histological analysis and assessment of oxidative stress.

Results

: In comparison with the rats in the other groups, those in the I/R group showed lower superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione levels, together with higher malondialdehyde levels and lung injury scores (p < 0.05 for all). Interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration of the lungs was also markedly greater in the I/R group than in the other groups. In addition, I/R group rats showed various signs of interstitial edema and hemorrhage. In the I/R+NAC, I/R+PTX, and I/R+NAC+PTX groups, superoxide dismutase activity, glutathione levels, malondialdehyde levels, and lung injury scores were preserved (p < 0.05 for all). The differences between the administration of NAC or pentoxifylline alone and the administration of the two together were not significant for any of those parameters (p > 0.05 for all).

Conclusions

: Our results suggest that NAC and pentoxifylline both protect lung tissue from the effects of skeletal muscle I/R. However, their combined use does not appear to increase the level of that protection.     

Effects of N-acetylcysteine on oxidant-antioxidant balance in oleic acid-induced lung injury

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of N-acetylcysteine has been documented in many experimental lung injury models. Because intravenous injection of oleic acid induces histopathologic changes similar to those seen in human acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome, the authors evaluated the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on oxidative stress and lung damage in an oleic acid (OA)-induced lung injury model. Thirty-five rats were divided into 5 groups as sham, NAC, OA, pre-OA-NAC, and post-OA-NAC. Lung damage was induced by intravenous administration of oleic acid. Pre-OA-NACgroup received intravenous (IV) N-acetylcysteine 15 minutes before oleic acid infusion and post-OA-NAC group received IV N-acetylcysteine 2 hours after oleic acid infusion. In both of the N-acetylcysteine treatment groups, blood and tissue samples were collected 4 hours after oleic acid infusion, independent from the time of N-acetylcysteine infusion. In other groups, blood and tissue samples were collected 4 hours after ethanol, NAC, or OA infusions. Serum myeloperoxidase activity, total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde levels, and lung tissue Na+ - K+ ATPase activity were measured and light microscopic analyses of lung specimens were performed. The administration of N-acetylcysteine significantly restored Na+ - K+ ATPase activity and total antioxidant capacity levels and ameliorated lung architecture. N-acetylcysteine has been shown to have some attenuating effects in experimental animal studies. However, further investigations are necessary to suggest N-acetylcysteine as a treatment agent in critically ill patients with lung injury.     

Experimental and clinical evidence for modification of hepatic ischaemia-reperfusion injury by N-acetylcysteine during major liver surgery

Background

Hepatic ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury occurs in both liver resectional surgery and in transplantation. The biochemistry of I/R injury involves short-lived oxygen free radicals. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a thiol-containing synthetic compound used in the treatment of acetaminophen toxicity. The present study is a detailed overview of the experimental and clinical evidence for the use of NAC as a pharmaco-protection agent in patients undergoing major liver surgery or transplantation.

Methods

A computerized search of the Medline, Embase and SCI databases for the period from 1st January 1988 to 31st December 2008 produced 40 reports. For clinical studies, the quality of reports was assessed according to the criteria reported by the Cochrane communication review group.

Results

Nineteen studies evaluated NAC in experimental liver I/R injury. NAC was administered before induction of ischaemia in 13. The most widely used concentration was 150 mg/kg by intravenous bolus. Fifteen studies report an improvement in outcome, predominantly a reduction in transaminase. Seven studies used an isolated perfused liver model with all showing improvement (predominantly an improvement in bile production after N-acetylcysteine). Two out of four transplantation models showed an improvement in hepatic function. Clinical studies in transplantation show a modest improvement in transaminase levels with no beneficial effect on either patient or graft survival.

Conclusion

N-acetylcysteine, given before induction of a liver I/R injury in an experimental model can ameliorate liver injury. Clinical outcome data are limited and there is currently little evidence to justify use either in liver transplantation or in liver resectional surgery.     

Protective effect of sulfhydryl-containing antioxidants against ischemia/reperfusion injury of prepubertal rat intestine

Background and Aim:  Reactive oxygen species generated during reperfusion of the tissue are known to play an important role in the basic pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the protective effects of three sulfide-based antioxidants, N -acetylcysteine (NAC), erdosteine (ERD), and α-lipoic acid (LA), on I/R injury of the small intestine tissue.
Methods:  Forty male Sprague–Dawley rats weighing between 100–150 g were divided into five groups ( n  = 8 for each): control (sham operated), I/R, I/R + NAC, I/R + ERD, and I/R + LA. Intestinal ischemia was provided by occluding the superior mesenteric artery via a special microvascular clamp; ischemia for 30 min and reperfusion for 3 days were carried out. Ileal specimens were obtained to determine the tissue levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl contents (PCO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities and histological changes.
Results:  The rats subjected to intestinal I/R exhibited an increase in tissue MDA and PCO; the levels could hardly be ameliorated in the treatment groups. SOD and GPx activities were significantly decreased in the I/R group, whereas their reduction was less expressed in the treatment groups. Additionally, the histopathological injury scores of the disulfide-treated groups were lower than those of the I/R group.
Conclusion:  All of the sulfhydryl-containing antioxidants used in this study exhibited a significant role in attenuating intestinal I/R injury; however, the outcome of the LA-treated group was significantly marked than that of the others.     

七氟烷预处理上调ROS介导的自噬改善大鼠缺血/再灌注心脏功能

目的 探讨七氟烷(SEVO)对离体大鼠缺血/再灌注(ischemia/reperfusion,I/R)心肌功能的影响及其机制。方法 利用非循环等容灌流装置制备离体大鼠心脏灌注模型。24只雄性SD大鼠随机分为I/R组(缺血30 min,再灌注120 min),I/R+SEVO组(缺血前给予20 ml/L SEVO预处理10 min), I/R+SEVO+NAC组,I/R+SEVO+TEMPO组(NAC和TEMPO为氧自由基清除剂,浓度分别为10 μg/ml和10 μmol/L,缺血前处理30 min)。缺血前及再灌后检测活性氧(ROS)含量。缺血后采用Western blot 方法检测自噬相关蛋白LC3-II/I、Beclin1、AMPK的表达和AMPK的磷酸化水平。全程检测血流动力学指标。结果 SEVO预处理增加缺血前心肌ROS的水平(P<0.01),抑制再灌注期ROS水平(P<0.01);改善I/R心肌功能(P<0.01)。机制研究发现,SEVO增加AMPK的磷酸化和Bclin1的表达(P<0.01),上调LC3-II/LC3-I的比值(P<0.01)。该现象可被ROS清除剂NAC或TEMPO抑制(P<0.01)。结论 SEVO预处理改善I/R心肌功能,其机制与ROS介导的自噬作用增强有关。     

Inhibition of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Prevents Hepatic, but Not Pulmonary, Injury Following Ischemia-Reperfusion of Rat Liver

The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-derived nitric oxide on the liver and lung injury following hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) using a novel and potent iNOS inhibitor, ONO-1714. Rats were subjected to 90 min of partial hepatic ischemia followed by 3, 6, 12, and 24 hr of reperfusion. Expression of iNOS mRNA peaked at 3 hr of reperfusion in the liver and lung. Plasma nitric oxide levels were increased fourfold at 24 hr of reperfusion and plasma ALT was increased, reaching a peak at 12 hr of reperfusion; both were significantly inhibited by ONO-1714. Histological examination revealed extensive liver damage, whereas this was not seen in the ONO-1714 group. Lung injury was not significantly changed in groups with versus without ONO-1714. Nitrotyrosine expression was seen in regions similar to those of the histological injuries of the liver, while this staining was absent in the ONO-1714 group. These data show that generation of peroxynitrite could be involved in the pathogenesis of liver injury but not lung injury after hepatic I/R. Inhibition of iNOS could be applied for attenuation of liver injury following hepatic I/R.     

Effect of nuclear factor kappa B on intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression and neutrophil infiltration in lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in rats

AIM:To investigate the role of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB) in the pathogenesis of lung injury induced byintestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R),and its effect onintercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expressionand neutrophil infiltration.METHODS:Twenty-four Wistar rats weredivided randomly into control,I/R and pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC) treatment groups,n=8 ineach.I/R group and PDTC treatment group receivedsuperior mysenteric artery (SMA) occluding for 1 h andreperfusion for 2 h.PDTC group was administrated withintraperitoneal injection of 2% 100 mg/kg PDTC 1 hbefore surgery.Lung histology and bronchia alveoluslung fluid (BALF) protein were assayed.Serum IL-6,lungmalondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) aswell as the expression level of NF-κB and ICAM-1 weremeasured.RESULTS:Lung injury induced by intestinal I/R,wascharacterized by edema,hemorrhage and neutrophilinfiltration as well as by the significant rising of BALFprotein.Compared to control group,the levels of serumIL-6 and lung MDA and MPO increased significantly in I/Rgroup (P=0.001).Strong positive expression of NF-κBp65 and ICAM-1 was observed.After the administrationof PDTC,the level of serum IL-6,lung MDA and MPOas well as NF-κB and ICAM-1 decreased significantly(P<0.05) when compared to I/R group. CONCLUSION:The activation of NF-kB plays animportant role in the pathogenesis of lung injury inducedby intestinal I/R through upregulating the neutrophilinfiltration and lung ICAM-1 expression.PDTC as aninhibitor of NF-kB can prevent lung injury induced byintestinal I/R through inhibiting the activity of NF-kB.

Resveratrol attenuates oxidative stress and histological alterations induced by liver ischemia/reperfusion in rats

AIM： To investigate the effects of resveratrol on liver ischemia/reperfusion （I/R） injury in rats. METHODS： A total of 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 240-290 g were randomized into four groups of ten： （1） controls： data from unmanipulated animals; （2） sham group： rats subjected to the surgical procedure, except for liver I/R, and given saline; （3） I/R group： rats underwent liver ischemia for 45 rain followed by reperfusion for 45 rain; （4） I-R/Resveratrol group： rats pretreated with resveratrol （10 umol/L, iv）. Liver tissues were obtained to determine antioxidant enzyme levels and for biochemical and histological evaluation. RESULTS： Plasma aminotransferase activities were higher in the I/R group than in the I-R/Resveratrol group. Malondialdehyde levels and the hepatic injury score decreased, while superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase levels increased in group 4 compared to group 3. In group 4, histopathological changes were significantly attenuated in resveratroltreated livers. CONCLUSION： These results suggest that resveratrol has protective effects against hepatic I/R injury, and is a potential therapeutic drug for ischemia reperfusionrelated liver injury.
