Research Germany, Biberach, Germany Introduction: Resistive breathing (RB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is characterized by strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles that impose increased mechanical stress on the lung. RB is shown to induce pulmonary inflammation in previous healthy animals. Tiotropium bromide, an anticholinergic bronchodilator, is also shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects. The effect of tiotropium on RB-induced pulmonary inflammation is unknown.Methods: Adult rats were anesthetized, tracheostomized and breathed spontaneously through a two-way non-rebreathing valve. Resistances were connected to the inspiratory and/or expiratory port, to produce inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB) of 40% or 50% Pi/Pi,max (40% and 50% IRB), expiratory resistive breathing (ERB) of 60% Pe/Pe,max (60% ERB) or combined resistive breathing (CRB) of both 40% Pi/Pi,max and 60% Pe/Pe,max (40%/60% CRB). Tiotropium aerosol was inhaled prior to RB. After 6 h of RB, mechanical parameters of the respiratory system were measured and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. IL-1β and IL-6 protein levels were measured in lung tissue. Lung injury was estimated histologically.Results: In all, 40% and 50% IRB increased macrophage and neutrophil counts in BAL and raised IL-1β and IL-6 lung levels, tissue elasticity, BAL total protein levels and lung injury score. Tiotropium attenuated BAL neutrophil number, IL-1β, IL-6 levels and lung injury score increase at both 40% and 50% IRB. The increase in macrophage count and protein in BAL was only reversed at 40% IRB, while tissue elasticity was not affected. In all, 60% ERB raised BAL neutrophil count and total protein and reduced macrophage count. IL-1β and IL-6 levels and lung injury score were increased. Tiotropium attenuated these alterations, except for the decrease in macrophage count and the increase in total protein level. In all, 40%/60% CRB increased macrophage and neutrophil count in BAL, IL-1β and IL-6 levels, tissue elasticity, total protein in BAL and histological injury score. Tiotropium attenuated the aforementioned alterations.Conclusion: Tiotropium inhalation attenuates RB-induced pulmonary inflammation. Keywords: resistive breathing, inflammation, tiotropium bromide

We have previously shown that severe inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB) induces acute lung injury in healthy rats. The role of expiratory resistance is unknown. The possibility of a load-dependent type of resistive breathing-induced lung injury also remains elusive. Our aim was to investigate the differential effects of IRB, expiratory resistive breathing (ERB), and CRB on healthy rat lung and establish the lowest loads required to induce injury. Anesthetized tracheostomized rats breathed through a two-way valve. Varying resistances were connected to the inspiratory, expiratory, or both ports, so that the peak inspiratory pressure (IRB) was 20%–40% or peak expiratory (ERB) was 40%–70% of maximum. CRB was assessed in inspiratory/expiratory pressures of 30%/50%, 40%/50%, and 40%/60% of maximum. Quietly breathing animals served as controls. At 6 hours, respiratory system mechanics were measured, and bronchoalveolar lavage was performed for measurement of cell and protein concentration. Lung tissue interleukin-6 and interleukin-1β levels were estimated, and a lung injury histological score was determined. ERB produced significant, load-independent neutrophilia, without mechanical or permeability derangements. IRB 30% was the lowest inspiratory load that provoked lung injury. CRB increased tissue elasticity, bronchoalveolar lavage total cell, macrophage and neutrophil counts, protein and cytokine levels, and lung injury score in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, CRB load dependently deranges mechanics, increases permeability, and induces inflammation in healthy rats. ERB is a putative inflammatory stimulus for the lung.

Abstract: Lung cancer and chronic lung diseases impose major disease burdens worldwide and are caused by inhaled noxious agents including tobacco smoke. The cellular origins of environmental-induced lung tumors and of the dysfunctional airway and alveolar epithelial turnover observed with chronic lung diseases are unknown. To address this, we combined mouse models of genetic labeling and ablation of airway (club) and alveolar cells with exposure to environmental noxious and carcinogenic agents. Club cells are shown to survive KRAS mutations and to form lung tumors after tobacco carcinogen exposure. Increasing numbers of club cells are found in the alveoli with aging and after lung injury, but go undetected since they express alveolar proteins. Ablation of club cells prevents chemical lung tumors and causes alveolar destruction in adult mice. Hence club cells are important in alveolar maintenance and carcinogenesis and may be a therapeutic target against premalignancy and chronic lung disease. © eLife Sciences Publications Ltd.

Abstract: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are advertised as a less harmful nicotine delivery system or as a new smoking cessation tool. We aimed to assess the in vivo effects of e-cig vapor in the lung and to compare them to those of cigarette smoke (CS). We exposed C57BL/6 mice for either 3 days or 4 wk to ambient air, CS, or e-cig vapor containing 1) propylene glycol/vegetable glycerol (PG:VG-Sol; 1:1), 2) PG:VG with nicotine (G:VG-N), or 3) PG:VG with nicotine and flavor (PG:VG-N+F) and determined oxidative stress, inflammation, and pulmonary mechanics. E-cig vapors, especially PG:VG-N+F, increased bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cellularity, Muc5ac production, as well as BALF and lung oxidative stress markers at least comparably and in many cases more than CS. BALF protein content at both time points studied was only elevated in the PG:VG-N+F group. After 3 days, PG:VG-Sol altered tissue elasticity, static compliance, and airway resistance, whereas after 4 wk CS was the only treatment adversely affecting these parameters. Airway hyperresponsiveness in response to methacholine was increased similarly in the CS and PG:VG-N+F groups. Our findings suggest that exposure to e-cig vapor can trigger inflammatory responses and adversely affect respiratory system mechanics. In many cases, the added flavor in e-cigs exacerbated the detrimental effects of e-cig vapor. We conclude that both e-cig vaping and conventional cigarette smoking negatively impact lung biology. © 2018 American Physiological Society. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is associated with strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles and increased negative intrathoracic pressures that act as an injurious stimulus to the lung. We have shown that IRB induces pulmonary inflammation in healthy animals. p38 kinase is activated in the lung under stress. We hypothesized that p38 is activated during IRB and contributes to IRB-induced pulmonary inflammation. Anesthetized, tracheostomized rats breathed spontaneously through a two-way valve. Resistance was connected to the inspiratory port to provoke a peak tidal inspiratory pressure 50% of maximum. Following 3 and 6 h of IRB, respiratory system mechanics were measured and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. Phosphorylated p38, TNF-α, and MIP-2α were detected in lung tissue. Lung injury was estimated histologically. SB203580 (p38 inhibitor) was administered prior to IRB (1 mg kg−1). Six hours of IRB increased phosphorylated p38 in the lung, compared with quietly breathing controls (p = 0.001). Six hours of IRB increased the numbers of macrophages and neutrophils (p = 0.01 and p = 0.005) in BAL fluid. BAL protein levels and lung elasticity increased after both 3 and 6 h IRB. TNF-α and MIP-2α increased after 6 h of IRB (p = 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). Increased lung injury score was detected at 6 h IRB. SB203580 administration blocked the increase of neutrophils and macrophages at 6 h IRB (p = 0.01 and p = 0.005 to 6 h IRB) but not the increase in BAL protein and elasticity. TNF-α, MIP-2α, and injury score at 6 h IRB returned to control. p38 activation contributes to IRB-induced pulmonary inflammation. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Abstract: Malignant pleural mesothelioma is resistant to currently used treatment. Angiopoieitn-1 directly promotes mesothelioma cell growth in a Tie-2-dependent fashion. Angiopoietin/Tie-2 axis may thus be valid targets for therapeutic interventions against mesothelioma. We hypothesized that a soluble angiopoietin inhibitor (Murine Tek-deltaFc) would halt mesothelioma progression in vivo by enhancing mesothelioma cell proliferation and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Our hypothesis was challenged on two syngeneic mesothelioma in vivo models (AB1 cells- Balb/c mice and AE17 cells-C57BL/6 mice. Even though both mesothelioma cell lines express the Angiopoietin-1/-2 and Tie-2, murine Tek-deltaFc hampered AB1 but not AE17 mesothelioma growth in vivo by enhancing tumor cell apoptosis and limiting tumor angiogenesis. Neither angiopoietins (Angs)-1 and -2 nor the inhibitor affected mesothelioma cell growth in vitro. AB1 (responding) tumors were more vascularized and displayed higher endothelial Tie-2 and lower tumor Ang-1 expression than the (non-responding) AE17 tumors. Angiopoietins-1 and -2 are expressed in tumors and pleural cavity of mesothelioma patients demonstrating the clinical relevance of our experimental observations. In conclusion, disrupting Ang-Tie-2 signaling limits mesothelioma angiogenesis and halts tumor progression. Tumor vascularity, endothelial Tie-2 expression and tumor Ang-1 expression may predict mesothelioma response to Tek-deltaFc. © Magkouta et al.

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder with an increased incidence of lung cancer. The emphysema component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease confers the greatest proportion to lung cancer risk. Although tumors create inflammatory conditions to escape immunity, the immunological responses that control growth of nascent cancer cells in pre-established inflammatory microenvironments are unknown. In this study, we addressed this issue by implanting OVA-expressing cancer cells in the lungs of mice with cigarette smoke-induced emphysema. Emphysema augmented the growth of cancer cells, an effect that was dependent on T cytotoxic cells. OVA-specific OTI T cells showed early signs of exhaustion upon transfer in emphysema tumor hosts that was largely irreversible because sorting, expansion, and adoptive transfer failed to restore their antitumor activity. Increased numbers of PD-L1- and IDO-positive CD11c+ myeloid dendritic cells (DCs) infiltrated emphysema tumors, whereas sorted emphysema tumor DCs poorly stimulated OTI T cells. Upon adoptive transfer in immunocompetent hosts, T cells primed by emphysema tumor DCs were unable to halt tumor growth. DCs exposed to the emphysema tumor microenvironment downregulated MHC class II and costimulatory molecules, whereas they upregulated PD-L1/IDO via oxidative stress-dependent mechanisms. T cell activation increased upon PD-L1 blockade in emphysema DC-T cell cocultures and in emphysema tumor hosts in vivo. Analysis of the transcriptome of primary human lung tumors showed a strong association between computed tomography-based emphysema scoring and downregulation of immunogenic processes. Thus, suppression of adaptive immunity against lung cancer cells links a chronic inflammatory disorder, emphysema, to cancer, with clinical implications for emphysema patients to be considered optimal candidates for cancer immunotherapies. © 2018 by The American Association of Immunologists, Inc.

Abstract: Background: Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is associated with large negative intrathoracic pressures, due to strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles. IRB is shown to induce lung injury in previously healthy animals. Src is a multifunctional kinase that is activated in the lung by mechanical stress. ERK1/2 kinase is a downstream target of Src. We hypothesized that Src is activated in the lung during IRB, mediates ERK1/2 activation and IRB-induced lung injury. Methods: Anaesthetized, tracheostomized adult rats breathed spontaneously through a 2-way non-rebreathing valve. Resistance was added to the inspiratory port to provide a peak tidal inspiratory pressure of 50% of maximum (inspiratory resistive breathing). Activation of Src and ERK1/2 in the lung was estimated during IRB. Following 6 h of IRB, respiratory system mechanics were measured by the forced oscillation technique and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed to measure total and differential cell count and total protein levels. IL-1b and MIP-2a protein levels were measured in lung tissue samples. Wet lung weight to total body weight was measured and Evans blue dye extravasation was estimated to measure lung permeability. Lung injury was evaluated by histology. The Src inhibitor, PP-2 or the inhibitor of ERK1/2 activation, PD98059 was administrated 30 min prior to IRB. Results: Src kinase was activated 30 min after the initiation of IRB. Src inhibition ameliorated the increase in BAL cellularity after 6 h IRB, but not the increase of IL-1β and MIP-2a in the lung. The increase in BAL total protein and lung injury score were not affected. The increase in tissue elasticity was partly inhibited. Src inhibition blocked ERK1/2 activation at 3 but not at 6 h of IRB. ERK1/2 inhibition ameliorated the increase in BAL cellularity after 6 h of IRB, blocked the increase of IL-1β and returned Evans blue extravasation and wet lung weight to control values. BAL total protein and the increase in elasticity were partially affected. ERK1/2 inhibition did not significantly change total lung injury score compared to 6 h IRB. Conclusions: Src and ERK1/2 are activated in the lung following IRB and participate in IRB-induced lung injury. © 2017 The Author(s).

12. Tiotropium bromide exerts anti-inflammatory effects during resistive breathing, an experimental model of severe airway obstruction

Subjects: respiratory system, humanities, respiratory tract diseases
Abstract: Introduction: Resistive breathing (RB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is characterized by strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles that impose increased mechanical stress on the lung. RB is shown to induce pulmonary inflammation in previous healthy animals. Tiotropium bromide, an anticholinergic bronchodilator, is also shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects. The effect of tiotropium on RB-induced pulmonary inflammation is unknown. Methods: Adult rats were anesthetized, tracheostomized and breathed spontaneously through a two-way non-rebreathing valve. Resistances were connected to the inspiratory and/or expiratory port, to produce inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB) of 40% or 50% Pi/Pi,max (40% and 50% IRB), expiratory resistive breathing (ERB) of 60% Pe/Pe,max (60% ERB) or combined resistive breathing (CRB) of both 40% Pi/Pi,max and 60% Pe/Pe,max (40%/60% CRB). Tiotropium aerosol was inhaled prior to RB. After 6 h of RB, mechanical parameters of the respiratory system were measured and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. IL-1β and IL-6 protein levels were measured in lung tissue. Lung injury was estimated histologically. Results: In all, 40% and 50% IRB increased macrophage and neutrophil counts in BAL and raised IL-1β and IL-6 lung levels, tissue elasticity, BAL total protein levels and lung injury score. Tiotropium attenuated BAL neutrophil number, IL-1β, IL-6 levels and lung injury score increase at both 40% and 50% IRB. The increase in macrophage count and protein in BAL was only reversed at 40% IRB, while tissue elasticity was not affected. In all, 60% ERB raised BAL neutrophil count and total protein and reduced macrophage count. IL-1β and IL-6 levels and lung injury score were increased. Tiotropium attenuated these alterations, except for the decrease in macrophage count and the increase in total protein level. In all, 40%/60% CRB increased macrophage and neutrophil count in BAL, IL-1β and IL-6 levels, tissue elasticity, total protein in BAL and histological injury score. Tiotropium attenuated the aforementioned alterations. Conclusion: Tiotropium inhalation attenuates RB-induced pulmonary inflammation. © 2017 Toumpanakis et al.

14. Guanylyl cyclase activation reverses resistive breathing-induced lung injury and inflammation

Subjects: respiratory system, respiratory tract diseases
Abstract: Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is downregulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. Our objectives were to: (1) characterize the effects of increased concurrent inspiratory and expiratory resistance in mice via tracheal banding; and (2) investigate the contribution of the sGC/cGMP pathway in RB-induced lung injury. Anesthetized C57BL/6 mice underwent RB achieved by restricting tracheal surface area to 50% (tracheal banding). RB for 24 hours resulted in increased bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cellularity and protein content, marked leukocyte infiltration in the lungs, and perturbed respiratory mechanics (increased tissue resistance and elasticity, shifted static pressure-volume curve right and downwards, decreased static compliance), consistent with the presence of acute lung injury. RB down-regulated sGC expression in the lung. All manifestations of lung injury caused by RB were exacerbated by the administration of the sGC inhibitor, 1H-[1,2,4]oxodiazolo[4,3-] quinoxalin-l-one, or when RB was performed using sGCα1 knockout mice. Conversely, restoration of sGC signaling by prior administration of the sGC activator BAY 58-2667 (Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany) prevented RB-induced lung injury. Strikingly, direct pharmacological activation of sGC with BAY 58-2667 24 hours after RB reversed, within 6 hours, the established lung injury. These findings raise the possibility that pharmacological targeting of the sGC-cGMP axis could be used to ameliorate lung dysfunction in obstructive lung diseases.

15. Expression of Ser(729) phosphorylated PKCepsilon in experimental crescentic glomerulonephritis: an immunohistochemical study

Author: Karavana, V. N. Gakiopoulou, H. Lianos, E. A.
Subjects: urogenital system, urologic and male genital diseases
Abstract: PKCe, a DAG-dependent, Ca2+- independent kinase attenuates extent of fibrosis following tissue injury, suppresses apoptosis and promotes cell quiescence. In crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN), glomerular epithelial cells (GEC) contribute to fibro-cellular crescent formation while they also transdifferentiate to a mesenchymal phenotype. The aim of this study was to assess PKCe expression in CGN. Using an antibody against PKC-epsilon phosphorylated at Ser(729), we assessed its localization in rat model of immune-mediated rapidly progressive CGN. In glomeruli of control animals, pPKC epsilon was undetectable. In animals with CGN, pPKC epsilon was expressed exclusively in glomerular epithelial cells (GEC) and in GEC comprising fibrocellular crescents that had acquired a myofibroblasttype phenotype. In non-immune GEC injury induced by puromycin aminonucleoside and resulting in proteinuria of similar magnitude as in CGN, pPKCe expression was absent. There was constitutive pPKC epsilon expression in distal convoluted tubules, collecting ducts and thick segments of Henley’s loops in both control and experimental animals. We propose that pPKCe expression occurring in GEC and in fibrocellular crescentic lesions in CGN may facilitate PKCe dependent pathologic processes.

16. Dose- and time-dependent effects of lipopolysaccharide on technetium-99-m-labeled diethylene-triamine pentaacetatic acid clearance, respiratory system mechanics and pulmonary inflammation

Subjects: respiratory system
Abstract: Intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in animals is a commonly used model of acute lung injury, characterized by increased alveolar-capillary membrane permeability causing protein-rich edema, inflammation, deterioration of lung mechanical function and impaired gas exchange. Technetium-99-m-labeled diethylene-triamine pentaacetatic acid (99mTc-DTPA) scintigraphy is a non-invasive technique to assess lung epithelial permeability. We hypothesize that the longer the exposure and the higher the dose of LPS the greater the derangement of the various indices of lung injury. After 3, 6 and 24 h of 5 or 40 mg LPS intratracheally administration, 99mTc-DTPA was instilled in the lung. Images were acquired for 90 min with a g-camera and the radiotracer clearance was estimated. In another subgroup, the mechanical properties of the respiratory system were estimated with the forced oscillation technique and static pressure-volume curves, 4.5, 7.5 and 25.5 h post-LPS (iso-times with the end of 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy). Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed and a lung injury score was estimated by histology. Lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured. 99mTc-DTPA clearance increased in all LPS challenged groups compared with control. DTPA clearance presented a U-shape time course at the lower dose, while LPS had a declining effect over time at the larger dose. At 7.5 and 25.5 h post-LPS, tissue elasticity was increased and static compliance decreased at both doses. Total protein in the BAL fluid increased at both doses only at 4.5 h Total lung injury score and MPO activity were elevated in all LPS-treated groups. There is differential time- and dose-dependency of the various indices of lung injury after intratracheally LPS instillation in rats. © 2013 by the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine.

Abstract: Aim: Postresuscitation hemodynamics are associated with hospital mortality/functional outcome. We sought to determine whether low-dose steroids started during and continued after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affect postresuscitation hemodynamics and other physiological variables in vasopressor-requiring, in-hospital cardiac arrest., Methods: We conducted a two-center, randomized, double-blind trial of patients with adrenaline (epinephrine)-requiring cardiac arrest. Patients were randomized to receive either methylprednisolone 40 mg (steroids group) or normal saline-placebo (control group) during the first CPR cycle post-enrollment. Postresuscitation shock was treated with hydrocortisone 240 mg daily for 7 days maximum and gradual taper (steroids group), or saline-placebo (control group). Primary outcomes were arterial pressure and central-venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2 ) within 72 hours post - ROSC., Results: Eighty nine of 98 controls and 80 of 86 steroids group patients with ROSC were treated as randomized. Primary outcome data were collected from 100 patients with ROSC (control, n = 54; steroids, n = 46). In intention-to-treat mixed-model analyses, there was no significant effect of group on arterial pressure, marginal mean (95% confidence interval) for mean arterial pressure, steroids vs. control: 74 (68-80) vs. 72 (66-79) mmHg] and ScvO 2 [71 (68-75)% vs. 69 (65-73)%], cardiac index [2.8 (2.5-3.1) vs. 2.9 (2.5-3.2) L/min/m 2 ], and serum cytokine concentrations [e.g. interleukin-6, 89.1 (42.8-133.9) vs. 75.7 (52.1-152.3) pg/mL] determined within 72 hours post-ROSC ( P = 0.12-0.86). There was no between-group difference in body temperature, echocardiographic variables, prefrontal blood flow index/cerebral autoregulation, organ failure-free days, and hazard for poor in-hospital/functional outcome, and adverse events ( P = 0.08->0.99)., Conclusions: Our results do not support the use of low-dose corticosteroids in in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract: Lung cancer and chronic lung diseases impose major disease burdens worldwide and are caused by inhaled noxious agents including tobacco smoke. The cellular origins of environmental-induced lung tumors and of the dysfunctional airway and alveolar epithelial turnover observed with chronic lung diseases are unknown. To address this, we combined mouse models of genetic labeling and ablation of airway (club) and alveolar cells with exposure to environmental noxious and carcinogenic agents. Club cells are shown to survive KRAS mutations and to form lung tumors after tobacco carcinogen exposure. Increasing numbers of club cells are found in the alveoli with aging and after lung injury, but go undetected since they express alveolar proteins. Ablation of club cells prevents chemical lung tumors and causes alveolar destruction in adult mice. Hence club cells are important in alveolar maintenance and carcinogenesis and may be a therapeutic target against premalignancy and chronic lung disease., Competing Interests: MS, IL, MP, YC, MA, AL, DZ, FR, MV, NK, DW, AG, VA, KA, LK, DT, VK, SZ, IG, AM, VA, RS, GS No competing interests declared, (© 2019, Spella et al.)

Abstract: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are advertised as a less harmful nicotine delivery system or as a new smoking cessation tool. We aimed to assess the in vivo effects of e-cig vapor in the lung and to compare them to those of cigarette smoke (CS). We exposed C57BL/6 mice for either 3 days or 4 wk to ambient air, CS, or e-cig vapor containing 1) propylene glycol/vegetable glycerol (PG:VG-Sol; 1:1), 2) PG:VG with nicotine (G:VG-N), or 3) PG:VG with nicotine and flavor (PG:VG-N+F) and determined oxidative stress, inflammation, and pulmonary mechanics. E-cig vapors, especially PG:VG-N+F, increased bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cellularity, Muc5ac production, as well as BALF and lung oxidative stress markers at least comparably and in many cases more than CS. BALF protein content at both time points studied was only elevated in the PG:VG-N+F group. After 3 days, PG:VG-Sol altered tissue elasticity, static compliance, and airway resistance, whereas after 4 wk CS was the only treatment adversely affecting these parameters. Airway hyperresponsiveness in response to methacholine was increased similarly in the CS and PG:VG-N+F groups. Our findings suggest that exposure to e-cig vapor can trigger inflammatory responses and adversely affect respiratory system mechanics. In many cases, the added flavor in e-cigs exacerbated the detrimental effects of e-cig vapor. We conclude that both e-cig vaping and conventional cigarette smoking negatively impact lung biology.

Abstract: Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is associated with strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles and increased negative intrathoracic pressures that act as an injurious stimulus to the lung. We have shown that IRB induces pulmonary inflammation in healthy animals. p38 kinase is activated in the lung under stress. We hypothesized that p38 is activated during IRB and contributes to IRB-induced pulmonary inflammation. Anesthetized, tracheostomized rats breathed spontaneously through a two-way valve. Resistance was connected to the inspiratory port to provoke a peak tidal inspiratory pressure 50% of maximum. Following 3 and 6 h of IRB, respiratory system mechanics were measured and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. Phosphorylated p38, TNF-α, and MIP-2α were detected in lung tissue. Lung injury was estimated histologically. SB203580 (p38 inhibitor) was administered prior to IRB (1 mg kg -1 ). Six hours of IRB increased phosphorylated p38 in the lung, compared with quietly breathing controls (p = 0.001). Six hours of IRB increased the numbers of macrophages and neutrophils (p = 0.01 and p = 0.005) in BAL fluid. BAL protein levels and lung elasticity increased after both 3 and 6 h IRB. TNF-α and MIP-2α increased after 6 h of IRB (p = 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). Increased lung injury score was detected at 6 h IRB. SB203580 administration blocked the increase of neutrophils and macrophages at 6 h IRB (p = 0.01 and p = 0.005 to 6 h IRB) but not the increase in BAL protein and elasticity. TNF-α, MIP-2α, and injury score at 6 h IRB returned to control. p38 activation contributes to IRB-induced pulmonary inflammation.

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder with an increased incidence of lung cancer. The emphysema component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease confers the greatest proportion to lung cancer risk. Although tumors create inflammatory conditions to escape immunity, the immunological responses that control growth of nascent cancer cells in pre-established inflammatory microenvironments are unknown. In this study, we addressed this issue by implanting OVA-expressing cancer cells in the lungs of mice with cigarette smoke-induced emphysema. Emphysema augmented the growth of cancer cells, an effect that was dependent on T cytotoxic cells. OVA-specific OTI T cells showed early signs of exhaustion upon transfer in emphysema tumor hosts that was largely irreversible because sorting, expansion, and adoptive transfer failed to restore their antitumor activity. Increased numbers of PD-L1- and IDO-positive CD11c + myeloid dendritic cells (DCs) infiltrated emphysema tumors, whereas sorted emphysema tumor DCs poorly stimulated OTI T cells. Upon adoptive transfer in immunocompetent hosts, T cells primed by emphysema tumor DCs were unable to halt tumor growth. DCs exposed to the emphysema tumor microenvironment downregulated MHC class II and costimulatory molecules, whereas they upregulated PD-L1/IDO via oxidative stress-dependent mechanisms. T cell activation increased upon PD-L1 blockade in emphysema DC-T cell cocultures and in emphysema tumor hosts in vivo. Analysis of the transcriptome of primary human lung tumors showed a strong association between computed tomography-based emphysema scoring and downregulation of immunogenic processes. Thus, suppression of adaptive immunity against lung cancer cells links a chronic inflammatory disorder, emphysema, to cancer, with clinical implications for emphysema patients to be considered optimal candidates for cancer immunotherapies., (Copyright © 2018 by The American Association of Immunologists, Inc.)

33. Targeting Tie-2/angiopoietin axis in experimental mesothelioma confers differential responses and raises predictive implications.

Author: Magkouta S, Pappas A, Pateras IS, Kollintza A, Moschos C, Vazakidou ME, Karavana V, Gorgoulis VG, and Kalomenidis I
Abstract: Malignant pleural mesothelioma is resistant to currently used treatment. Angiopoieitn-1 directly promotes mesothelioma cell growth in a Tie-2-dependent fashion. Angiopoietin/Tie-2 axis may thus be valid targets for therapeutic interventions against mesothelioma. We hypothesized that a soluble angiopoietin inhibitor (Murine Tek-deltaFc) would halt mesothelioma progression in vivo by enhancing mesothelioma cell proliferation and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. Our hypothesis was challenged on two syngeneic mesothelioma in vivo models (AB1 cells-Balb/c mice and AE17 cells-C57BL/6 mice. Even though both mesothelioma cell lines express the Angiopoietin-1/-2 and Tie-2, murine Tek-deltaFc hampered AB1 but not AE17 mesothelioma growth in vivo by enhancing tumor cell apoptosis and limiting tumor angiogenesis. Neither angiopoietins (Angs)-1 and -2 nor the inhibitor affected mesothelioma cell growth in vitro . AB1 (responding) tumors were more vascularized and displayed higher endothelial Tie-2 and lower tumor Ang-1 expression than the (non-responding) AE17 tumors. Angiopoietins-1 and -2 are expressed in tumors and pleural cavity of mesothelioma patients demonstrating the clinical relevance of our experimental observations. In conclusion, disrupting Ang-Tie-2 signaling limits mesothelioma angiogenesis and halts tumor progression. Tumor vascularity, endothelial Tie-2 expression and tumor Ang-1 expression may predict mesothelioma response to Tek-deltaFc., Competing Interests: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Authors declare no conflicts of interest.

Abstract: Background: Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is associated with large negative intrathoracic pressures, due to strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles. IRB is shown to induce lung injury in previously healthy animals. Src is a multifunctional kinase that is activated in the lung by mechanical stress. ERK1/2 kinase is a downstream target of Src. We hypothesized that Src is activated in the lung during IRB, mediates ERK1/2 activation and IRB-induced lung injury., Methods: Anaesthetized, tracheostomized adult rats breathed spontaneously through a 2-way non-rebreathing valve. Resistance was added to the inspiratory port to provide a peak tidal inspiratory pressure of 50% of maximum (inspiratory resistive breathing). Activation of Src and ERK1/2 in the lung was estimated during IRB. Following 6 h of IRB, respiratory system mechanics were measured by the forced oscillation technique and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed to measure total and differential cell count and total protein levels. IL-1b and MIP-2a protein levels were measured in lung tissue samples. Wet lung weight to total body weight was measured and Evans blue dye extravasation was estimated to measure lung permeability. Lung injury was evaluated by histology. The Src inhibitor, PP-2 or the inhibitor of ERK1/2 activation, PD98059 was administrated 30 min prior to IRB., Results: Src kinase was activated 30 min after the initiation of IRB. Src inhibition ameliorated the increase in BAL cellularity after 6 h IRB, but not the increase of IL-1β and MIP-2a in the lung. The increase in BAL total protein and lung injury score were not affected. The increase in tissue elasticity was partly inhibited. Src inhibition blocked ERK1/2 activation at 3 but not at 6 h of IRB. ERK1/2 inhibition ameliorated the increase in BAL cellularity after 6 h of IRB, blocked the increase of IL-1β and returned Evans blue extravasation and wet lung weight to control values. BAL total protein and the increase in elasticity were partially affected. ERK1/2 inhibition did not significantly change total lung injury score compared to 6 h IRB., Conclusions: Src and ERK1/2 are activated in the lung following IRB and participate in IRB-induced lung injury.

Abstract: Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is down-regulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. Our objectives were to: (1) characterize the effects of increased concurrent inspiratory and expiratory resistance in mice via tracheal banding; and (2) investigate the contribution of the sGC/cGMP pathway in RB-induced lung injury. Anesthetized C57BL/6 mice underwent RB achieved by restricting tracheal surface area to 50% (tracheal banding). RB for 24 hours resulted in increased bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cellularity and protein content, marked leukocyte infiltration in the lungs, and perturbed respiratory mechanics (increased tissue resistance and elasticity, shifted static pressure-volume curve right and downwards, decreased static compliance), consistent with the presence of acute lung injury. RB down-regulated sGC expression in the lung. All manifestations of lung injury caused by RB were exacerbated by the administration of the sGC inhibitor, 1H-[1,2,4]oxodiazolo[4,3-]quinoxalin-l-one, or when RB was performed using sGCα1 knockout mice. Conversely, restoration of sGC signaling by prior administration of the sGC activator BAY 58-2667 (Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany) prevented RB-induced lung injury. Strikingly, direct pharmacological activation of sGC with BAY 58-2667 24 hours after RB reversed, within 6 hours, the established lung injury. These findings raise the possibility that pharmacological targeting of the sGC-cGMP axis could be used to ameliorate lung dysfunction in obstructive lung diseases.

Abstract: Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB) is characterized by large negative intrathoracic pressures and was shown to induce pulmonary inflammation in previously healthy rats. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 and -12 are induced by inflammation and mechanical stress in the lung. We hypothesized that IRB induces MMP-9 and -12 in the lung. Anesthetized, tracheostomized rats breathed spontaneously through a two-way valve, connected to an inspiratory resistance, with the tidal inspiratory tracheal pressure set at 50% of the maximum. Quietly breathing animals served as controls. After 3 and 6 h of IRB, respiratory mechanics were measured, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed, lung injury score was estimated, and lung MMP-9 was estimated by zymography and ELISA. MMP-9 and MMP-12 immunohistochemistry was performed. Isolated normal alveolar macrophages were incubated with BAL from rats that underwent IRB. After 18 h, MMP-9 and -12 levels were measured in supernatants, and immunocytochemistry was performed. Macrophages were treated with IL-1β, IL-6, or TNF-α, and MMP-9 in supernatants was measured. After 6 h of IRB, leukocytes in BAL increased, and IL-1β and IL-6 levels were elevated. Elasticity and injury score were increased after 3 and 6 h of IRB. Lung MMP-9 levels increased after 6 h of IRB. MMP-9 and MMP-12 were detected in alveolar macrophages and epithelial (bronchial/alveolar) cells after 3 and 6 h of IRB. MMP-9 and MMP-12 were found in supernatants after treatment with 6 h of IRB BAL. Cytosolic immunostaining was detected after treatment with 3 and 6 h of IRB BAL. All cytokines induced MMP-9 in culture supernatants. In conclusion, IRB induces MMP-9 and -12 in the lung of previously healthy rats., (Copyright © 2015 the American Physiological Society.)

Abstract: PKCε, a DAG-dependent, Ca2+- independent kinase attenuates extent of fibrosis following tissue injury, suppresses apoptosis and promotes cell quiescence. In crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN), glomerular epithelial cells (GEC) contribute to fibro-cellular crescent formation while they also transdifferentiate to a mesenchymal phenotype. The aim of this study was to assess PKCε expression in CGN. Using an antibody against PKC-ε phosphorylated at Ser729, we assessed its localization in rat model of immune-mediated rapidly progressive CGN. In glomeruli of control animals, pPKCε was undetectable. In animals with CGN, pPKCε was expressed exclusively in glomerular epithelial cells (GEC) and in GEC comprising fibrocellular crescents that had acquired a myofibroblast-type phenotype. In non-immune GEC injury induced by puromycin aminonucleoside and resulting in proteinuria of similar magnitude as in CGN, pPKCε expression was absent. There was constitutive pPKCε expression in distal convoluted tubules, collecting ducts and thick segments of Henley's loops in both control and experimental animals. We propose that pPKCε expression occurring in GEC and in fibrocellular crescentic lesions in CGN may facilitate PKCε dependent pathologic processes.

Abstract: Intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in animals is a commonly used model of acute lung injury, characterized by increased alveolar-capillary membrane permeability causing protein-rich edema, inflammation, deterioration of lung mechanical function and impaired gas exchange. Technetium-99-m-labeled diethylene-triamine pentaacetatic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) scintigraphy is a non-invasive technique to assess lung epithelial permeability. We hypothesize that the longer the exposure and the higher the dose of LPS the greater the derangement of the various indices of lung injury. After 3, 6 and 24 h of 5 or 40 μg LPS intratracheally administration, (99m)Tc-DTPA was instilled in the lung. Images were acquired for 90 min with a γ-camera and the radiotracer clearance was estimated. In another subgroup, the mechanical properties of the respiratory system were estimated with the forced oscillation technique and static pressure-volume curves, 4.5, 7.5 and 25.5 h post-LPS (iso-times with the end of (99m)Tc-DTPA scintigraphy). Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed and a lung injury score was estimated by histology. Lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured. (99m)Tc-DTPA clearance increased in all LPS challenged groups compared with control. DTPA clearance presented a U-shape time course at the lower dose, while LPS had a declining effect over time at the larger dose. At 7.5 and 25.5 h post-LPS, tissue elasticity was increased and static compliance decreased at both doses. Total protein in the BAL fluid increased at both doses only at 4.5 h Total lung injury score and MPO activity were elevated in all LPS-treated groups. There is differential time- and dose-dependency of the various indices of lung injury after intratracheally LPS instillation in rats.

Abstract: The KLK6 gene is a new member of the human kallikrein gene family and encodes for a secreted protease, human kallikrein 6 (hK6; also known as zyme/protease M/neurosin). No study has as yet reported detailed immunohistochemical localization of hK6 in human tissues. Our purpose was to examine the expression of hK6 in human tissues by immunohistochemistry. We have analyzed 199 paraffin blocks from archival, current, and autopsy material prepared from almost every normal human tissue. We employed an hK6-specific polyclonal rabbit antibody and avidin-biotin to localize hK6 by IHC. The staining pattern, the distribution of the immunostaining, and its intensity were studied in detail. The IHC expression of zyme was generally cytoplasmic. Various normal human tissues expressed the protein abundantly. Glandular epithelia constituted the main immunoexpression sites, with representative organs being the breast, prostate, kidney, endometrium, colon, appendix, salivary glands, bile ducts, and gallbladder. The small intestine, stomach, endocervix, Fallopian tube, epididymis, bronchus, and upper respiratory tract showed a focal expression as well. Choroid plexus epithelium, peripheral nerves, and some neuroendocrine cells (including the islets of Langerhans, cells in the anterior pituitary gland, and adrenal medulla) expressed the protein strongly and diffusely. A characteristic immunostaining was observed in the Hassall's corpuscles of the thymus, the oxyphilic cells of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, the primordial follicles of the ovary, dendritic cells mainly in the spleen, and in various cells of the placenta.

Abstract: Background: The levels of matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 (type IV collagenases), which degrade the extracellular matrix of the basement membrane, were evaluated as prognostic indicators of metastasis in urothelial carcinoma., Materials and Methods: Quantitative gel zymography and immunohistochemistry were used and compared with clinical data at the follow-up period of 36 months., Results: Zymographical analysis of the levels of MMP-9 and active MMP-2 showed a statistically significant increase with tumor grade and invasiveness. This correlation was confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis of MMP-9 expression. However, the correlation between the levels of both gelatinases with recurrence in superficial tumours or progression in invasive tumours was not statistically significant., Conclusion: MMPs may have an important role in the invasion mechanism of urothelial cancer and could be useful prognostic markers for patients with bladder carcinoma. The relationship between MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression and the metastatic potential of bladder carcinoma needs further evaluation in subsequent clinical studies.
