Release of Proinflammatory Cytokines During Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Heparin-Bonded Versus Nonbonded Oxygenators

Background. Heparin bonding of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit may be associated with a reduced inflammatory response and improved clinical outcome. The relative contribution of a heparin-bonded oxygenator (ie, >80% of circuit surface area) to these effects was assessed in a group of pediatric patients.

Methods. Twenty-one pediatric patients undergoing CPB operations were assigned randomly to receive either a heparin-bonded oxygenator (group H, n = 11) or a nonbonded oxygenator (group C, n = 10) in otherwise nonbonded circuits. The two groups were similar in pathology, age, weight, CPB time, and cross-clamp time. Plasma levels of the cytokines tumor necrosis factor-, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, as well as terminal complement complex, neutrophils, and elastase, were analyzed before, during, and after CPB.

Results. Significant levels of tumor necrosis factor- were not detected in either group. Plasma levels of all other markers increased during and after CPB compared with baseline. Plasma levels of interleukin-6 peaked in both groups 2 hours after the administration of protamine but remained significantly higher in group C 24 hours after operation. Plasma concentrations of interleukin-8 peaked at similar levels in both groups 30 minutes after protamine administration and returned to baseline thereafter. Levels of terminal complement complex and elastase peaked in both groups 30 minutes after protamine administration. Plasma levels of terminal complement complex were significantly higher at the end of CPB and after protamine administration in group C. Elastase levels were significantly higher 2 and 24 hours after CPB in group C. The ventilation time of patients in group H was significantly lower than that of patients in group C: 10 (range, 3 to 24) versus 22 (range, 7 to 24) hours, respectively (p < 0.01).

Conclusions. The present study confirms the proinflammatory nature of pediatric operations and demonstrates a lessened systemic inflammatory response with the use of heparin-bonded oxygenators. This is achieved without bonding of the entire circuit, which could have significant cost-benefit implications by negating the need for custom-built heparin-bonded circuitry.

Regulation of PTC phenotype and function by TGF-β1: implications for transdifferentiation

Introduction There is now increasing evidence that proximal tubular cells (PTCs) contribute to renal interstitial fibrosis by alteration of matrix turnover and by the generation of pro‐fibrotic cytokines such as TGF‐β1. Recent studies suggest that, through a process of transdifferentiation, the PTCs are one source of the interstitial myofibroblasts that directly drive the fibrotic process. The aim of this work was to examine the role and mechanism by which TGF‐β1 may regulate PTC phenotype and function. Methods Experiments were performed using both primary‐cultures of PTC and the human PTC cell line HK2. All experiments were performed on growth‐arrested cells in the absence of serum. Results TGF‐β1 altered cell phenotype, assessed by light microscopy, with cells appearing elongated and spindle‐shaped. This was associated with loss of cell–cell contact and rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton, increased formation of stress fibres and focal adhesions. Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton with cytochalasin‐D prevented phenotypic alterations following addition of TGF‐β1. Transient transfection with Smad‐2/‐4 or Smad‐3/‐4 expression vectors did not alter cell phenotype. Previously, we have demonstrated β‐catenin translocation to PTC nuclei and its association with Smad proteins following addition of TGF‐β1, suggesting the possibility that TGF‐β1 may modulate Wnt signalling. Wnt‐responsive Xtwn‐reporter construct was, however, silent in response to TGF‐β1. Similarly, a second Wnt‐/LEF‐1‐regulated element Toplflash, which does not contain Smad‐binding sites, was insensitive to TGF‐β1 signalling. In contrast, phenotypic changes in response to TGF‐β1 were abrogated by inhibitors of the RhoA downstream target ROCK, which also prevented loss of cell–cell contact and adherens junction disassembly. Removal of TGF‐β1 and addition of 1% FCS, however, reverted cell phenotype to a typical cobblestone epitheliod appearance, suggesting that TGF‐β1 did not result in terminal PTC transdifferentiation. Cells grown on tissue culture dishes coated with either type‐I or type‐III collagen also acquired an elongated fibroblastic phenotype; this effect was exaggerated by the addition of TGF‐β1. In contrast to the cells stimulated with TGF‐β1 alone, following stimulation by both TGF‐β1 and exposure to interstitial collagens, cell phenotype was stable in that it was not reversed upon removal of TGF‐β1 and addition of FCS. Addition of TGF‐β1 to cells grown on type‐IV collagen had no greater effect than TGF‐β1 alone. Addition of TGF‐β1 alone had little effect on the expression of α‐SMA. In contrast, cells grown on either type‐I or type‐III collagen, following addition of TGF‐β1, demonstrated marked increased expression of α‐SMA, which appeared to be incorporated into the cell cytoskeleton. Similarly, the combination of interstitial collagen (either type‐I or type‐III) and TGF‐β1 had synergistic effect on the relocation and down‐regulation of the epithelial markers E‐cadherin and cytokeratin. Finally, the results demonstrated synergistic effects of coating with interstitial collagen (either type‐I or type‐III), on cell ‘fibroblastic’ cell function as assessed by cell migration and by the synthesis of type‐III and type‐IV collagen. Conclusion The results of these in vitro experiments suggest that terminal transdifferentiation of proximal tubular epithelial cells is the result of a combination of the effects of the pro‐fibrotic cytokine TGF‐β1 and exposure of the cells to components of the interstitial extra‐cellular matrix to which the cells are not exposed in the absence of damage to the tubular basement membrane.

Protection of chickens against highly lethal H5N1 and H7N1 avian influenza viruses with a recombinant fowlpox virus co-expressing H5 haemagglutinin and N1 neuraminidase genes

Inactivated whole avian influenza virus (AIV) vaccine provides protection against homologous haemagglutinin (HA) subtype virus, but poor protection against a heterologous HA virus. Moreover, it induces chickens to produce antibodies to cross-reactive antigens, especially nucleoprotein, which is limits AIV serological surveillance. In this study, a recombinant fowlpox virus co-expressing HA (H5 subtype) and NA (N1 subtype) genes of AIV was evaluated for its ability to protect chickens against intramuscular challenge with a lethal dose of highly pathogenic (HP) AIV. Susceptible chickens were also vaccinated by wing-web puncture with the parent fowlpox vaccine virus. Following challenge 4 weeks later with HPAIV, all chickens vaccinated with recombinant virus were protected, while the chickens vaccinated with either the unaltered parent fowlpox vaccine virus or unvaccinated controls experienced 100% mortality following challenge. This protection was accompanied by the high levels of specific antibody to the respective components of the recombinant vaccine. The above results showed that rFPV-HA-NA could be a potential vaccine to replace current inactivated vaccines for preventing AI.
