The Effects of Xanthine Oxidoreductase Inhibitors on Oxidative Stress Markers following Global Brain Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in C57BL/6 Mice.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrated that 3-nitrotyrosine and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal levels in mouse brain were elevated from 1 h until 8 h after global brain ischemia for 14 min induced with the 3-vessel occlusion model; this result indicates that ischemia reperfusion injury generated oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species production was observed not only in the hippocampal region, but also in the cortical region. We further evaluated the neuroprotective effect of xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors in the mouse 3-vessel occlusion model by analyzing changes in the expression of genes regulated by the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (including pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1? (IL-1?) and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), matrix metalloproteinase-9 and intercellular adhesion molecules-1). Administration of allopurinol resulted in a statistically significant decrease in IL-1? and TNF-? mRNA expression, whereas febuxostat had no significant effect on expression of these genes; nevertheless, both inhibitors effectively reduced serum uric acid concentration. It is suggested that the neuroprotective effect of allopurinol is derived not from inhibition of reactive oxygen species production by xanthine oxidoreductase, but rather from a direct free-radical-scavenging effect.

Project description:Acute ischemia reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle remains an important issue in several fields of regenerative medicine. Thus, a valid model is essential to gain deeper insights into pathophysiological relations and evaluate possible treatment options. While the vascular anatomy of mice regularly prevents sufficient vessel occlusion by invasive methods, there is a multitude of existing models to induce ischemia reperfusion injury without surgical procedures. Since there is no consensus on which model to prefer, this study aims to develop and evaluate a novel, optimized low-pressure tourniquet model. C57BL/6 mice underwent an ischemic procedure by either tourniquet or invasive artery clamping. A sham group served as control. With exception of the sham group, mice underwent 2 hours of ischemia followed by 4 hours of reperfusion. Groups were compared using microcirculatory and spectroscopic measurements, distinctions in tissue edema, histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Both procedures led to a significant decrease in tissue blood flow (- 97% vs. - 86%) and oxygenation (- 87% vs. - 75%) with a superiority of the low-pressure tourniquet. Tissue edema in the tourniquet cohort was significantly increased (+ 59%), while the increase in the clamping cohort was non-significant (+ 7%). Haematoxylin Eosin staining showed significantly more impaired muscle fibers in the tourniquet group (+ 77 p.p. vs. + 11 p.p.) and increased neutrophil infiltration/ROI (+ 51 vs. + 8). Immunofluorescence demonstrated an equal increase of p38 in both groups (7-fold vs. 8-fold), while the increase in apoptotic markers (Caspase-3, 3-Nitrotyrosine, 4-Hydroxynonenal) was significantly higher in the tourniquet group. The low-pressure tourniquet has been proven to produce reproducible and thus reliable ischemia reperfusion injury. In addition, significantly less force was needed than previously stated. It is therefore an important instrument for studying the pathophysiology of ischemia reperfusion injury and for the development of prophylactic as well as therapeutic interventions.
