Carbonate weathering and the CO 2 consumption in karstic area are extensive affected by anthropogenic activities, especially sulfuric and nitric acids usage in the upper-middle reaches of Wujiang River, China. The carbonic acid would be substituted by protons from sulfuric and nitric acids which can be reduce CO 2 absorption. Therefore, The goal of this study was to highlight the impacts of sulfuric and nitric acids on carbonate dissolution and the associated deficit of CO 2 uptaking during carbonate weathering. The hydrochemistries and carbon isotopic signatures of dissolved inorganic carbon from groundwater were measured during the rainy season (July; 41 samples) and post-rainy season (October; 26 samples). Our results show that Ca 2 + and Mg 2 + were the dominant cations (55.87–98.52%), and HCO 3 – was the dominant anion (63.63–92.87%). The combined concentrations of Ca 2 + and Mg 2 + commonly exceeded the equivalent concentration of HCO 3 − , with calculated [Ca 2 + + Mg 2 + ]/[HCO 3 − ] equivalent ratios of 1.09–2.12. The mean measured groundwater δ 13 C DIC value (− 11.38‰) was higher than that expected for carbonate dissolution mediated solely by carbonic acid (− 11.5‰), and the strong positive correlation of these values with [SO 4 2 − + NO 3 − ]/HCO 3 – showed that additional SO 4 2 − and NO 3 − were required to compensate for this cation excess. Nitric and sulfuric acids are, therefore, suggested to have acted as the additional proton-promoted weathering agents of carbonate in the region, alongside carbonic acid. The mean contribution of atmospheric/pedospheric CO 2 to the total aquatic HCO 3 – decreased by 15.67% (rainy season) and 14.17% (post-rainy season) due to the contributions made by these acids. The annual mean deficit of soil CO 2 uptake by carbonate weathering across the study area was 14.92%, which suggests that previous workers may have overestimated the absorption of CO 2 by carbonate weathering in other karstic areas worldwide.

Abstract: Epidemiological data indicate an increasing incidence of asthma in the obese individuals recent decades, while very little is known about the possible association between them. Here, we compared the roles of adipocyte-derived factors, including leptin, adiponectin and resistin on proliferation, wound repair and apoptosis in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) which play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma. The results showed that exogenous globular adiponectin (gAd) promoted proliferation, cell-cycle and wound repair of HBECs. This effect may be relevant to Ca2+/calmodulin signal pathway. Besides, gAd inhibited apoptosis induced by ozone and release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of HBECs via regulated adipoR1 and reactive oxygen species. No effects of leptin or resistin on proliferation, wound repair and apoptosis of HBECs were detectable. These data indicate that airway epithelium is the direct target of gAd which plays an important role in protecting HBECs from mechanical or oxidant injuries and may have therapeutic implications in the treatment of asthma.

Abstract: To investigate abnormalities of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) expression in chronic inflammatory airway diseases and its regulation mechanisms, the present study was designed to observe the expression of CFTR, CFTR chloride current and the possible relevant signal pathways in in vitro and in vivo bronchial epithelium by using real-time PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blot and whole cell patch-clamp. The results demonstrated that CFTR staining was decreased in rat airway epithelium under ozone stress. Ozone stress also down-regulated CFTR protein and mRNA expression and CFTR chloride current in cultured human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC). STAT1 signal pathway was checked to investigate the signal mechanism. It was found that pretreatment with STAT1 inhibitor attenuated the down-regulated CFTR expression induced by ozone stress. We also observed that ozone stress accelerated the phosphorylation of STAT1 in HBEC, which could be influenced by some signaling molecules related to the early transduction of cellular stress. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species inhibitors N-acetylcysteine and nitric oxide synthase inhibitor aminoguanidine increased the expression of CFTR. Ozone stress could down-regulate the expression of CFTR and decrease CFTR chloride current in HBEC. The signal mechanism which referred to cascade events in cells included early oxidative stress signal transmission molecules, and subsequently transcription modulator STAT1. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Objective: To analyze the correlation between the Kellgren–Lawrence (K‐L) score of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients with different degrees and their urine concentration of C‐terminal telopeptide of collagen type II (CTX‐II) and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), and to further evaluate the diagnostic value of CTX‐II and IL‐1β during the pathological process by producing an experimental osteoarthritis (OA) model in rabbits. Methods: From 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018, a total of 34 subjects (7 mild, 9 moderate, 9 severe arthritis patients, and 9 healthy individuals) comprising 16 men and 18 women were included in this study. Patients were diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. The urine of all subjects was collected to detect the concentration of CTX‐II and IL‐1β. The rabbits in the KOA group were subjected to protease (control group with saline) injection into the articular cavity of their right knees and immobilization with gypsum. We used radiological and histological examination to identify the KOA model. ELISA was applied to investigate the concentrations of CTX‐II and IL‐1β in urine and serum, and Spearman's rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation. Results: There was no significant difference in the mean ages and body mass index (BMI) between groups. The mean ages of mild, moderate, and severe arthritis patients and healthy individuals were 54.29 ± 5.76, 58.44 ± 6.44, 59.89 ± 6.75, and 56.67 ± 4.18 years, respectively. The mean BMI of mild, moderate, and severe arthritis patients and healthy individuals were 23.59 ± 1.56, 23.57 ± 2.06, 24.46 ± 1.64, and 23.42 ± 1.35 kg/m2, respectively. The Kellgren–Lawrence (K‐L) score was higher with the aggravation of KOA. The K‐L scores of mild, moderate, and severe KOA patients were 1.14 ± 0.38, 2.56 ± 0.53, and 3.63 ± 0.52, respectively. The KOA symptoms of patients became more severe, with not only increased K‐L scores but also elevated concentrations of CTX‐II and IL‐1β. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between CTX‐II and IL‐1β of all subjects (r = 0.974, P < 0.001), between K‐L score and urine concentration of CTX‐II (r = 0.900, P < 0.001), and between K‐L score and IL‐1β (r = 0.813, P < 0.001) of all subjects. Both were significantly increased in KOA group rabbits at all time points after surgery. The serum concentration of CTX‐II and IL‐1β was elevated as early as in the 2nd week (3.69 and 4.25 times) and reached a peak (5.41 and 7.23 times) in the 4th week after surgery. Then, until 12 weeks after surgery, the CTX‐II and IL‐1β concentrations in the KOA group were slightly reduced and remained around 4.5 and 6.3 times that in the control group. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between the serum concentration of IL‐1β and CTX‐II (r = 0.967, P < 0.001). Conclusion: CTX‐II and IL‐1β, which were significantly increased during the process of KOA, can be used as biomolecular markers to provide guidelines for early diagnosis and treatment of KOA.

Airway epithelial cells, the first barrier of the respiratory tract, play an indispensable role in innate immunity. Integrin β4 (ITGB4) is a structural adhesion molecule that is involved in the pathological progression of acute inflammatory diseases and is downregulated in asthmatic patients. Research has shown that endothelial ITGB4 has proinflammatory properties in acute lung injury (ALI). However, the role of epithelial ITGB4 in a murine ALI model is still unknown. This study investigated the role of ITGB4 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced ALI. We found that ITGB4 in the airway epithelium had remarkably increased after the introduction of LPS in vivo and in vitro. Then, we constructed airway epithelial cell‐specific ITGB4 knockout (ITGB4−/−) mice to study its role in ALI. At a time point of 12 h after the tracheal injection of LPS, ITGB4−/− mice showed increased macrophages (mainly M1‐type macrophages) and neutrophil infiltration into the lungs; inflammation‐related proteins including interleukin (IL)‐6, tumor necrosis factor, and IL‐17A were significantly elevated compared to their levels in ITGB4+/+ mice. Furthermore, we investigated the role of ITGB4 in the anti‐inflammatory response. Intriguingly, in the ITGB4−/− + LPS group, we found significantly reduced expression of anti‐inflammatory factors, including IL‐10 messenger RNA (mRNA) and ARG‐1 mRNA. We also observed that monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP‐1) increased significantly both in vivo and in vitro. Airway epithelium activates macrophages, most likely driven by MCP‐1, which we confirmed in the coculture of epithelia and macrophages. These phenomena indicate that ITGB4 in airway epithelial cells plays an important role in the process of inflammation and activation of macrophages in ALI. Overall, these data demonstrated a novel link between airway epithelial ITGB4 and the inflammatory response in LPS‐induced ALI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In the present study, we investigated the effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on wound healing of bronchial epithelium. Wound healing of the mechanical damaged human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) was observed in the absence or presence of VIP. Effects of VIP on chemotactic migration, cell proliferation of HBEC were also tested. HBEC chemotaxis was assessed by the blind well chamber technique, the cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry, and cell proliferation was determined by measuring the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen Ki67. Effects of VIP on epithelial E-cadherins protein and mRNA were also measured by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The results showed that VIP accelerated the recovery of wound area of HBEC. VIP increased the migration and proliferation of HBEC, and these effects were blocked by a VPAC1 receptor antagonist. VIP also increased the expression of E-cadherin mRNA and protein in HBEC, suggesting that protective effects of VIP on wound healing may be related to its ability to increase the expression of E-cadherin. In conclusion, VIP has protective effects against human bronchial epithelial cell damage, and the beneficial effects of VIP might be mediated, at least in part, by VPAC1, and associated with increased expression of E-cadherin.

Abstract: The present study was designed to investigate the role of bombesin receptor subtype 3 (BRS-3) in airway wound repair. The results showed that: (1) There was few expression of BRS-3 mRNA in the control group. In contrast, the expression of BRS-3 mRNA was gradually increased in the early 2 days, and peaked on the fourth day, and then decreased in the ozone-stressed AHR animal. BRS-3 mRNA was distributed in the ciliated columnar epithelium, monolayer columnar epithelium cells, scattered mesenchymal cells and Type II alveolar cells; (2) The wound repair and proliferation of bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) were accelerated in a concentration-dependent manner by BRS-3 activation with P3513, which could be inhibited by PKA inhibitor H89. The study demostrated that activation of BRS-3 may play an important role in wound repair of AHR. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Oxidative stress induced by hypoxia/ischemia resulted in the excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the relative inadequate antioxidants. As the initial barrier to environmental pollutants and allergic stimuli, airway epithelial cell is vulnerable to oxidative stress. In recent years, the antioxidant effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has attracted much attention. Therefore, in this study, we explored the impact of H2S on CoCl2-induced cell injury in 16HBE14o- cells. The effect of CoCl2 on the cell viability was detected by Cell Counting Kit (CCK-8) and the level of ROS in 16HBE14o- cells in response to varying doses (100–1000 μmol/L) of CoCl2 (a common chemical mimic of hypoxia) was measured by using fluorescent probe DCFH-DA. It was shown that, in 16HBE14o- cells, CoCl2 acutely increased the ROS content in a dose-dependent manner, and the increased ROS was inhibited by the NaHS (as a donor of H2S). Moreover, the calcium ion fluorescence probe Fura-2/AM and fluorescence dye Rh123 were used to investigate the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) in 16HBE14o- cells, respectively. In addition, we examined apoptosis of 16HBE14o- cells with Hoechst 33342. The results showed that the CoCl2 effectively elevated the Ca2+ influx, declined the MMP, and aggravated apoptosis, which were abrogated by NaHS. These results demonstrate that H2S could attenuate CoCl2-induced hypoxia injury via reducing ROS to perform an agonistic role for the Ca2+ influx and MMP dissipation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Accumulated research has suggested the importance of the adhesion molecules modulation as therapeutic approach for bronchial asthma. Adhesion molecules expression alteration contributes to the pathogenesis of asthma. In order to probe the roles of expression imbalance of adhesion molecules in asthma pathogenesis, expression profiling of adhesion molecules was performed using cDNA microarray assay. The results showed that the expression pattern of adhesion molecules was altered in peripheral blood leucocytes of asthma patients. In this study, we focused on one of the abnormally expressed molecule, integrin β4, which was down-regulated in all asthma patients, to analyze the relevance of asthma susceptibility with the alteration of integrin β4 expressions. Real time PCR was used to verify the down-regulation of integrin β4 in additional 38 asthma patients. Next, the 5′flanking region of integrin β4 DNA were amplified, sequenced and site-directed mutagenesis technology in correspondent variation sites were carried out. Among 4 variation sites found in 5′ flanking region of integrin β4, 3 were related to asthma susceptibility: -nt1029 G/A, -nt 1051 G/A, and -nt 1164 G/C. A reduction of human integrin β4 promoter activity was observed at mutants of these sites. This study demonstrates that various adhesion molecules in asthma patients are abnormally expressed. Mutations in 5′ flanking region result in reduced integrin β4 expression, which is related to increased risk of asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: It is known that ozone stress can induce airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). The underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We constructed a successive ozone-stressed rat model and showed that AHR caused by ozone stress presented as increased lung resistance (R L) to inhaled histamine but not baseline R L. Meanwhile, structural disruption and decreased expression of integrin β4 on airway epithelia were observed. Further regression analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between increases in R L to histamine (at 0.32mg/ml) and mRNA expression of integrin β4. Moreover, when integrin β4 on human bronchial epithelial cells was knocked down, we found that reactive oxygen species was increased and apoptosis rates were higher. Overall, this study suggests that downregulation of integrin β4 is important for the development ozone stress-induced AHR, presumably because it causes increased oxidative damage and epithelial apoptosis.

Abstract: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection causes bronchiolitis in infants and children, which is an important risk factor for the development of chronic asthma. To probe the underlying mechanisms that RSV infection increases the susceptibility of asthma, this present study was designed to establish a RSV persistent infection animal model by cyclophosphamide (CYP) pretreatment that more closely mimic human RSV infection. CYP is an immunosuppressant, which induced deficiency in cellular and humoral immunity. Pulmonary RSV titers, airway function and peptidergic innervation were measured on 7d, 28d, 42d and 60d postinfection. The results showed that during RSV persistent infection, the lungs of RSV-inoculated animals pretreated with CYP showed higher RSV titers and exhibited obvious chronic inflammation. The results also showed that protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactive fibers increased and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-immunoreactive fibers decreased during RSV persistent infection. These results demonstrate that RSV persistent infection induces significant alterations in the peptidergic innervation in the airways, which may be associated with the development of altered airway function.

Abstract: We previously reported that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) promoted synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in alveolar type II (ATII) cells. But the intracellular mechanism for this effect was unknown. In this work, we investigated the intracellular signal transduction pathway for VIP promoted synthesis of PC, the major lipid component of pulmonary surfactant (PS), by using an antagonist of VIP receptors, inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC) and antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODN) for c-fos oncogene. Our results showed that: ① [D-P-Cl-Phe(6)-Leu(17)]-VIP (10−6 mol/l), an antagonist of VIP receptors, could decrease the quantity of [3H] choline incorporation, microsomal choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (CCT) mRNA expression and CCT activity induced by VIP (10−8 mol/l) in cultured lung explants to the control levels; ② VIP (10−8 mol/l) upregulated c-Fos protein expression in ATII cells. AS-ODN for c-fos oncogene (9×10−6 mol/l) could block the elevation of [3H] choline incorporation, microsomal CCT mRNA expression and CCT activity induced by VIP in cultured lung explants and in ATII cells; ③ H7 (10−5 mol/l), a PKC inhibitor could also reduce VIP induced [3H] choline incorporation, microsomal CCT mRNA expression and CCT activity in cultured lung explants and in ATII cells. These results demonstrated that VIP receptors, PKC and c-Fos protein played important roles in the signaling pathway through which VIP promoted the synthesis of PC. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
