Mononuclear phagocyte xanthine oxidoreductase contributes to cytokine-induced acute lung injury.

چکیده
Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by increased alveolar cytokines, inflammatory cell infiltration, oxidative stress, and alveolar cell apoptosis. Previous work suggested that xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) may contribute to oxidative stress in ALI as a product of the vascular endothelial cell. We present evidence that cytokine induced lung inflammation and injury involves activation of XOR in the newly recruited mononuclear phagocytes (MNP). We found that XOR was increased predominantly in the MNP that increase rapidly in the lungs of rats that develop ALI following intratracheal cytokine insufflation. XOR was recovered from the MNP largely converted to its oxygen radical generating, reversible O-form, and alveolar MNP exhibited increased oxidative stress as evidenced by increased nitrotyrosine staining. Cytokine insufflation also increased alveolar cell apoptosis. A functional role for XOR in cytokine-induced inflammation was demonstrated when feeding rats two different XOR inhibitors, tungsten and allopurinol, decreased MNP XOR induction, nitrotyrosine staining, inflammatory cell infiltration, and alveolar cell apoptosis. Transfer of control or allopurinol treated MNP into rat lungs confirmed a specific role for MNP XOR in promoting lung inflammation. These data indicate that XOR can contribute to lung inflammation by its expression and conversion in a highly mobile inflammatory cell population.

BACKGROUND Recent experimental studies provide evidence indicating that manipulation of the mononuclear phagocyte phenotype could be a feasible approach to alter the severity and persistence of pulmonary injury and fibrosis. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) has been reported as a target to regulate macrophage polarization. The present work was designed to investigate the therapeutic potential of...
متن کاملLung injury and oxidoreductases.
Acute lung injury represents a wide spectrum of pathologic processes, the most severe end of the spectrum being the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Reactive oxygen intermediates have been implicated as important in the pathobiochemistry of acute lung injury. The endogenous sources that contribute to the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates in acute lung injury are poorly defined but...

Severe sepsis and septic shock are frequent causes of the acute respiratory distress syndrome, and important sources of human mortality. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of Gram-negative bacterial cell walls, plays a major role in the pathogenesis of severe sepsis and septic shock. LPS exposure induces the production of harmful reactive oxygen species, and the resultant oxidant injury has ...

Lung endothelial cell apoptosis and injury occurs throughout all stages of acute lung injury (ALI/ARDS) and impacts disease progression. Lung endothelial injury has traditionally been focused on the role of neutrophil trafficking to lung vascular integrin receptors induced by proinflammatory cytokine expression. Although much is known about the pathogenesis of cell injury and death in ALI/ARDS,...
