Effect of Hyperoxia on Retinoid Metabolism and Retinoid Receptor Expression in the Lungs of Newborn Mice.

ABSTRACT: Preterm newborns that receive oxygen therapy often develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which is abnormal lung development characterized by impaired alveologenesis. Oxygen-mediated injury is thought to disrupt normal lung growth and development. However, the mechanism of hyperoxia-induced BPD has not been extensively investigated. We established a neonatal mouse model to investigate the effects of normobaric hyperoxia on retinoid metabolism and retinoid receptor expression.Newborn mice were exposed to hyperoxic or normoxic conditions for 15 days. The concentration of retinol and retinyl palmitate in the lung was measured by HPLC to gauge retinoid metabolism. Retinoid receptor mRNA levels were assessed by real-time PCR. Proliferation and retinoid receptor expression in A549 cells were assessed in the presence and absence of exogenous vitamin A.Hyperoxia significantly reduced the body and lung weight of neonatal mice. Hyperoxia also downregulated expression of RARα, RARγ, and RXRγ in the lungs of neonatal mice. In vitro, hyperoxia inhibited proliferation and expression of retinoid receptors in A549 cells.Hyperoxia disrupted retinoid receptor expression in neonatal mice.

Aurothioglucose enhances proangiogenic pathway activation in lungs from room air and hyperoxia-exposed newborn mice.

Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a long-term respiratory morbidity of prematurity, is characterized by attenuated alveolar and vascular development. Supplemental oxygen and immature antioxidant defenses contribute to BPD development. Our group identified thioredoxin reductase-1 (TXNRD1) as a therapeutic target to prevent BPD. The present studies evaluated the impact of the TXNRD1 inhibitor aurothioglucose (ATG) on pulmonary responses and gene expression in newborn C57BL/6 pups treated with saline or ATG (25 mg/kg ip) within 12 h of birth and exposed to room air (21% O2) or hyperoxia (>95% O2) for 72 h. Purified RNA from lung tissues was sequenced, and differential expression was evaluated. Hyperoxic exposure altered ~2,000 genes, including pathways involved in glutathione metabolism, intrinsic apoptosis signaling, and cell cycle regulation. The isolated effect of ATG treatment was limited primarily to genes that regulate angiogenesis and vascularization. In separate studies, pups were treated as described above and returned to room air until 14 days. Vascular density analyses were performed, and ANOVA indicated an independent effect of hyperoxia on vascular density and alveolar architecture at 14 days. Consistent with RNA-seq analyses, ATG significantly increased vascular density in room air, but not in hyperoxia-exposed pups. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms by which TXNRD1 inhibitors may enhance lung development.

WKYMVm hexapeptide, a strong formyl peptide receptor 2 agonist, attenuates hyperoxia-induced lung injuries in newborn mice.

Project description:The hexapeptide WKYMVm, which is a strong formyl peptide receptor (FPR) 2 agonist, exhibits pro-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. However, its therapeutic efficacy in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not been tested to date. Here, we investigated whether WKYMVm attenuates hyperoxia-induced lung inflammation and ensuing injuries by upregulating FPR2. The proliferation and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), along with the level of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, were evaluated in vitro. Newborn mice were randomly exposed to 80% oxygen or room air for 14 days starting at birth. WKYMVm (2.5 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administrated daily from postnatal day (P) 5 to P8. At P14, mice were sacrificed for histopathological and morphometric analyses. Along with upregulation of FPR2 and p-ERK, WKYMVm promoted HUVEC cell proliferation and tube formation in vitro. Additionally, WKYMVm promoted proliferation of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HULEC-5a) and murine pulmonary endothelial and epithelial cells in vitro. WKYMVm significantly attenuated hyperoxia-induced lung inflammation, as evidenced by increased inflammatory cytokines, neutrophils, and alveolar macrophages, and resultant lung injuries, which included impaired alveolarization and angiogenesis, an increased number of apoptotic cells, and reduced levels of growth factors in vivo, such as vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor. WKYMVm attenuates hyperoxia-induced lung injuries and lung inflammation by upregulating FPR2 and p-ERK.

Difference in pyruvic acid metabolism between neonatal and adult mouse lungs exposed to hyperoxia.

Project description:ObjectiveNeonatal lungs are more tolerant to hyperoxic injury than are adult lungs. This study investigated differences in the response to hyperoxic exposure between neonatal and adult mouse lungs using metabolomics analysis with capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE- TOFMS).MethodsNeonatal and adult mice were exposed to 21% or 95% O2 for four days. Subsequently, lung tissue samples were collected and analyzed by CE-TOFMS. Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme activity was determined using a microplate assay kit. PDH kinase (Pdk) 1, Pdk2, Pdk3, and Pdk4 mRNA expression levels were determined using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Pdk4 protein expression was quantified by Western blotting and Pdk4 protein localization was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.ResultsLevels of 3-phosphoglyceric acid, 2-phosphoglyceric acid, phosphoenolpyruvic acid, and lactic acid were significantly elevated in the lungs of hyperoxia-exposed versus normoxia-exposed adult mice, whereas no significant differences were observed with hyperoxia exposure in neonatal mice. PDH activity was reduced in the lungs of adult mice only. Pdk4 mRNA expression levels after hyperoxic exposure were significantly elevated in adult mice compared with that in neonatal mice. Conversely, gene expression levels of Pdk1, Pdk2, and Pdk3 did not differ after hyperoxic exposure in either neonatal or adult mice. Pdk4 protein levels were also significantly increased in adult mouse lungs exposed to hyperoxia and were localized mainly to the epithelium of terminal bronchiole.ConclusionsSpecific metabolites associated with glycolysis and gluconeogenesis were altered after hyperoxia exposure in the lungs of adult mice, but not in neonates, which was likely a result of reduced PDH activity due to Pdk4 mRNA upregulation under hyperoxia.

Hyperoxia impairs postnatal alveolar epithelial development via NADPH oxidase in newborn mice.

Project description:Hyperoxia disrupts postnatal lung development in part through inducing inflammation. To determine the contribution of leukocyte-derived reactive oxygen species, we exposed newborn wild-type and NADPH oxidase p47(phox) subunit null (p47(phox-/-)) mice to air or acute hyperoxia (95% O(2)) for up to 11 days. Hyperoxia-induced pulmonary neutrophil influx was similar in wild-type and p47(-/-) mice at postnatal days (P) 7 and 11. Macrophages were decreased in wild-type hyperoxia-exposed mice compared with p47(phox-/-) mice at P11. Hyperoxia impaired type II alveolar epithelial cell and bronchiolar epithelial cell proliferation, but depression of type II cell proliferation was significantly less in p47(-/-) mice at P3 and P7, when inflammation was minimal. We found reciprocal results for the expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21(cip/waf) in type II cells, which was induced in 95% O(2)-exposed wild-type mice, but significantly less in p47(phox-/-) littermates at P7. Despite partial preservation of type II cell proliferation, deletion of p47(phox) did not prevent the major adverse effects of hyperoxia on alveolar development estimated by morphometry at P11, but hyperoxia impairment of elastin deposition at alveolar septal crests was significantly worse in wild-type vs. p47(phox-/-) mice at P11. Since we found that p47(phox) is expressed in a subset of alveolar epithelial cells, its deletion may protect postnatal type II alveolar epithelial proliferation from hyperoxia through effects on epithelial as well as phagocyte-generated superoxide.

Claudin-18 expression under hyperoxia in neonatal lungs of bronchopulmonary dysplasia model rats

Project description:Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is characterized by impaired alveolar and microvascular development. Claudin-18 is the only known lung-specific tight junction protein affecting the development and transdifferentiation of alveolar epithelium. Objective We aimed to explore the changes in the expression of claudin-18, podoplanin, SFTPC, and the canonical WNT pathway, in a rat model of hyperoxia-induced BPD, and to verify the regulatory relationship between claudin-18 and the canonical WNT pathway by cell experiments. Methods A neonatal rat and cell model of BPD was established by exposing to hyperoxia (85%). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to confirm the establishment of the BPD model. The mRNA levels were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR). Protein expression levels were determined using western blotting, immunohistochemical staining, and immunofluorescence. Results As confirmed by HE staining, the neonatal rat model of BPD was successfully established. Compared to that in the control group, claudin-18 and claudin-4 expression decreased in the hyperoxia group. Expression of β-catenin in the WNT signaling pathway decreased, whereas that of p-GSK-3β increased. Expression of the AEC II marker SFTPC initially decreased and then increased, whereas that of the AEC I marker podoplanin increased on day 14 (P < 0.05). Similarly, claudin-18, claudin-4, SFTPC and β-catenin were decreased but podoplanin was increased when AEC line RLE-6TN exposed to 85% hyperoxia. And the expression of SFTPC was increased, the podoplanin was decreased, and the WNT pathway was upregulated when claudin-18 was overexpressed. Conclusions Claudin-18 downregulation during hyperoxia might affect lung development and maturation, thereby resulting in hyperoxia-induced BPD. Additionally, claudin-18 is associated with the canonical WNT pathway and AECs transdifferentiation.

Intratracheal Transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Attenuates Hyperoxia-Induced Microbial Dysbiosis in the Lungs, Brain, and Gut in Newborn Rats

Project description:We attempted to determine whether intratracheal (IT) transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could simultaneously attenuate hyperoxia-induced lung injuries and microbial dysbiosis of the lungs, brain, and gut in newborn rats. Newborn rats were exposed to hyperoxia (90% oxygen) for 14 days. Human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (5 × 105) were transplanted via the IT route on postnatal day (P) five. At P14, the lungs were harvested for histological, biochemical, and microbiome analyses. Bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA genes from the lungs, brain, and large intestine were amplified, pyrosequenced, and analyzed. IT transplantation of MSCs simultaneously attenuated hyperoxia-induced lung inflammation and the ensuing injuries, as well as the dysbiosis of the lungs, brain, and gut. In correlation analyses, lung interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were significantly positively correlated with the abundance of Proteobacteria in the lungs, brain, and gut, and it was significantly inversely correlated with the abundance of Firmicutes in the gut and lungs and that of Bacteroidetes in the lungs. In conclusion, microbial dysbiosis in the lungs, brain, and gut does not cause but is caused by hyperoxic lung inflammation and ensuing injuries, and IT transplantation of MSCs attenuates dysbiosis in the lungs, brain, and gut, primarily by their anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects.

Se Deficiency Exacerbates Hyperoxia-Induced Lung Injury in Newborn C3H/HeN Mice

Project description:Extremely preterm infants are often treated with supraphysiological oxygen which contributes to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These same infants exhibit compromised antioxidant capacities due in part to selenium (Se) deficiency. The present study was designed to develop a perinatal Se deficiency mouse model, identify the effects of newborn hyperoxia exposure, and explore alternative pathways affected by Se deficiency (SeD) that would contribute to impaired lung development. Se deficient breeding pairs were generated, once pups were born, they were exposed to room air or 85% O2 for 14 d. Survival, antioxidant and Nrf2-regulated protein expression, and RNA seq analyses were performed. Greater than 40% mortality was observed in Se deficient (SeD), hyperoxia exposed pups. Surviving SeD pups had greater lung growth deficits than Se sufficient (SeS) pups exposed to hyperoxia. Gpx2 and 4 protein and Gpx activity were significantly decreased in SeD pups. Nrf2-regulated proteins, NQO1 and Gclc were increased in the setting of Se deficiency and hyperoxia exposure. RNA seq revealed significant decreases in the Wnt/-catenin and Notch pathways. Se is a biologically relevant modulator of perinatal lung development and antioxidant responses, especially in the context of hyperoxia exposure. RNA seq implicates pathways essential for normal lung development are dysregulated by Se deficiency.

A phosphorylation-deficient mutant of retinoid X receptor α at Thr 167 alters fasting response and energy metabolism in mice.

Project description:Retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) has a conserved phosphorylation motif at threonine 162 (humans) and threonine 167 (mice) within the DNA-binding domain. Here we have generated RXRα knock-in mice (RxrαT167A) bearing a single mutation of Thr 167 to alanine and examined the roles of Thr 167 in the regulation of energy metabolism within adipose, muscle, and liver tissues. RxrαT167A mice exhibited down-regulation of metabolic pathways converting glucose to fatty acids, such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase in the white adipose tissue (WAT) and ATP citrate lyase in the muscle. They also reduced gene expression for genes related to fatty acid catabolism and triglyceride synthesis in WAT and controlled heat factors such as adrenergic receptor β1 in muscles. In contrast, hepatic gluconeogenic pathways and synthetic pathways related to fatty acids remained unaffected by this mutation. Expression of multiple genes that were affected by the Thr 167 mutation in adipose tissue exhibited clear response to LG100268, a synthetic RXR agonist. Thus, the altered gene expression in mutant mice adipose appeared to be a direct effect of RXRα Thr 167 mutation and by some secondary effect of the mutation. Blood glucose levels remained normal in RxrαT167A during feeding, as observed with RXRα wild-type mice. However, RxrαT167A mice exhibited an attenuated decrease of blood glucose levels that occurred after fasting. This attenuation correlated with a concomitant down-regulation of lipid metabolism in WAT and was associated with RXRα phosphorylation at Thr 167. Thus, Thr 167 enabled RXRα to coordinate these three organs for regulation of energy metabolism and maintenance of glucose homeostasis.
