Sera From Children After Cardiopulmonary Bypass Reduces Permeability of Capillary Endothelial Cell Barriers.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass develop clinically impactful capillary leak of unclear etiology. A widely held hypothesis that exposure of circulating cells to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit induces the release of inflammatory mediators that act to disrupt intercellular junctions of capillary endothelial cells inducing paracellular capillary leak either directly or through new gene expression.

Design

Cohort study.

Setting

Tertiary pediatric hospital.

Patients

Twenty children undergoing surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass for congenital heart disease. Serum was collected before cardiopulmonary bypass, 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass, and 18 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

We analyzed the effects of 10% patient sera on the "function, structure, and gene expression" of cultured human dermal and pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. Changes in barrier "function" were measured using transendothelial electrical resistance. Associations between changes in transendothelial electrical resistance and subject characteristics were analyzed using linear mixed effects model with area under the resistance curve as outcome. Changes in junctional "structure" were assessed by analyzing the organization of the endothelial cell junctional proteins claudin-5 and VE-cadherin using immunofluorescence microscopy. Changes in inflammatory "gene expression" were measured using real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. All serum samples induced a transient, 120-minute increase in transendothelial electrical resistance followed by persistent loss of barrier function. Unexpectedly, sera collected postcardiopulmonary bypass-induced significantly less loss of barrier function in both dermal and pulmonary capillary endothelial cell compared with precardiopulmonary bypass sera. Consistent with the transendothelial electrical resistance results, claudin-5 and vascular endothelial-cadherin junctional staining showed less disruption in cultures treated with postcardiopulmonary bypass sera. Expression of genes commonly associated with inflammation was largely unaffected by patient sera.

Conclusions

Contrary to the hypothesis, sera taken from children after cardiopulmonary bypass induces less capillary barrier disruption relative to sera taken from children before cardiopulmonary bypass, and none of the sera induced significant changes in expression of inflammatory genes.

Project description:ObjectivesCardiopulmonary bypass-induced endothelial dysfunction has been inferred by changes in pulmonary vascular resistance, alterations in circulating biomarkers, and postoperative capillary leak. Endothelial-dependent vasomotor dysfunction of the systemic vasculature has never been quantified in this setting. The objective of the present study was to quantify acute effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on endothelial vasomotor control and attempt to correlate these effects with postoperative cytokines, tissue edema, and clinical outcomes in infants.DesignSingle-center prospective observational cohort pilot study.SettingPediatric cardiac ICU at a tertiary children's hospital.PatientsChildren less than 1 year old requiring cardiopulmonary bypass for repair of a congenital heart lesion.InterventionNone.Measurements and main resultsLaser Doppler perfusion monitoring was coupled with local iontophoresis of acetylcholine (endothelium-dependent vasodilator) or sodium nitroprusside (endothelium-independent vasodilator) to quantify endothelial-dependent vasomotor function in the cutaneous microcirculation. Measurements were obtained preoperatively, 2-4 hours, and 24 hours after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass. Fifteen patients completed all laser Doppler perfusion monitor (Perimed, Järfälla, Sweden) measurements. Comparing prebypass with 2-4 hours postbypass responses, there was a decrease in both peak perfusion (p = 0.0006) and area under the dose-response curve (p = 0.005) following acetylcholine, but no change in responses to sodium nitroprusside. Twenty-four hours after bypass responsiveness to acetylcholine improved, but typically remained depressed from baseline. Conserved endothelial function was associated with higher urine output during the first 48 postoperative hours (R = 0.43; p = 0.008).ConclusionsCutaneous endothelial dysfunction is present in infants immediately following cardiopulmonary bypass and recovers significantly in some patients within 24 hours postoperatively. Confirmation of an association between persistent endothelial-dependent vasomotor dysfunction and decreased urine output could have important clinical implications. Ongoing research will explore the pattern of endothelial-dependent vasomotor dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass and its relationship with biochemical markers of inflammation and clinical outcomes.

Project description:ObjectiveHemolysis, occurring during cardiopulmonary bypass, is associated with lipid peroxidation and postoperative acute kidney injury. Acetaminophen inhibits lipid peroxidation catalyzed by hemeproteins and in an animal model attenuated rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury. This pilot study tests the hypothesis that acetaminophen attenuates lipid peroxidation in children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.DesignSingle-center prospective randomized double-blinded study.SettingUniversity-affiliated pediatric hospital.PatientsThirty children undergoing elective surgical correction of a congenital heart defect.InterventionsPatients were randomized to acetaminophen (OFIRMEV [acetaminophen] injection; Cadence Pharmaceuticals, San Diego, CA) or placebo every 6 hours for four doses starting before the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass.Measurement and main resultsMarkers of hemolysis, lipid peroxidation (isofurans and F2-isoprostanes), and acute kidney injury were measured throughout the perioperative period. Cardiopulmonary bypass was associated with a significant increase in free hemoglobin (from a prebypass level of 9.8 ± 6.2 mg/dL to a peak of 201.5 ± 42.6 mg/dL postbypass). Plasma and urine isofuran and F2-isoprostane concentrations increased significantly during surgery. The magnitude of increase in plasma isofurans was greater than the magnitude in increase in plasma F2-isoprostanes. Acetaminophen attenuated the increase in plasma isofurans compared with placebo (p = 0.02 for effect of study drug). There was no significant effect of acetaminophen on plasma F2-isoprostanes or urinary makers of lipid peroxidation. Acetaminophen did not affect postoperative creatinine, urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, or prevalence of acute kidney injury.ConclusionCardiopulmonary bypass in children is associated with hemolysis and lipid peroxidation. Acetaminophen attenuated the increase in plasma isofuran concentrations. Future studies are needed to establish whether other therapies that attenuate or prevent the effects of free hemoglobin result in more effective inhibition of lipid peroxidation in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Modulating the stress response and perioperative factors can have a paramount impact on the neurodevelopmental outcome of infants who undergo cardiac surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In this single center prospective follow-up study, we evaluated the impact of three different anesthetic techniques on the neurodevelopmental outcomes of 19 children who previously underwent congenital cardiac surgery within their 1(st) year of life. Cases were done from May 2011 to December 2013. Children were assessed using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales (5(th) edition). Multiple regression analysis was used to test different parental and perioperative factors that could significantly predict the different neurodevelopmental outcomes in the entire cohort of patients. RESULTS:When comparing the three groups regarding the major cognitive scores, a high-dose fentanyl (HDF) patients scored significantly higher than the low-dose fentanyl (LDF) + dexmedetomidine (DEX) (LDF + DEX) group in the quantitative reasoning scores (106 ± 22 vs. 82 ± 15 P = 0.046). The bispectral index (BIS) value at the end of surgery for the -LDF group was significantly higher than that in LDF + DEX group (P = 0.011). For the entire cohort, a strong correlation was seen between the standard verbal intelligence quotient (IQ) score and the baseline adrenocorticotropic hormone level, the interleukin-6 level at the end of surgery and the BIS value at the end of the procedure with an R(2) value of 0.67 and P < 0.04. There was an inverse correlation between the cardiac Intensive Care Unit length of stay and the full-scale IQ score (R = 0.4675 and P 0.027). CONCLUSIONS:Patients in the HDF group demonstrated overall higher neurodevelopmental scores, although it did not reach statistical significance except in fluid reasoning scores. Our results may point to a possible correlation between blunting the stress response and improvement of the neurodevelopmental outcome.

Project description:Endothelial activation leading to vascular barrier dysfunction and organ failure is a well-recognized complication of cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The endothelial-specific angiopoietin-Tie2 ligand-receptor system has been identified as a non-redundant regulator of endothelial activation. Binding of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) to the Tie2 receptor antagonizes Tie2 signaling and renders the endothelial barrier responsive to pro-inflammatory cytokines. We aimed to study the time course and potential triggering factors of Ang-2 release after CPB, as well as the association of Ang-2 changes with surrogates of increased vascular permeability, organ dysfunction, and outcome.Serum levels of Ang-2 from 25 adult patients (140 screened) were measured before and at 0, 12, and 24h following CPB procedure by in-house immuno-luminometric assay (ILMA), and compared with indices of organ dysfunction, duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU), and hospital mortality. The effect of Ang-2 was studied in vitro by incubating high Ang-2 patient serum with endothelial cells (EC).Ang-2 levels steadily increased from 2.6 ± 2.4 ng/mL at 0 h up to 7.3 ± 4.6 ng/mL at 24h following CPB (P<0.001). The release of Ang-2 correlated with the duration of CPB, aortic cross-clamp time, and post-CPB lactate levels. Changes in Ang-2 during follow-up correlated with partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO(2))/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO(2)) ratio, alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference (AaDO(2)), hemodynamics, fluid balance, and disease severity measures. Ang-2 levels at 12h predicted the duration of MV, ICU-LOS, and hospital mortality. High Ang-2 patient sera disrupted EC architecture in vitro, an effect reversed by treatment with the competitive Tie2 ligand angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1).Collectively, our results suggest that Ang-2 is a putative mediator of endothelial barrier dysfunction after CPB. These findings suggest that targeting the Ang/Tie2 pathway may mitigate organ dysfunction and improve outcome in patients undergoing CPB.
