Blunted hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in experimental neonatal chronic lung disease.
Rey-Parra, Gloria Juliana,Archer, Stephen L,Bland, Richard D,Albertine, Kurt H,Carlton, David P,Cho, Soo-Chul,Kirby, Beth,Haromy, Al,Eaton, Farah,Wu, Xichen,Thé,baud, Bernard American Lung Association 2008 American journal of respiratory and critical care Vol.178 No.4
<P>RATIONALE: Neonatal chronic lung disease (CLD), caused by prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) with O(2)-rich gas, is the most common cause of long-term hospitalization and recurrent respiratory illness in extremely premature infants. Recurrent episodes of hypoxemia and associated ventilator adjustments often lead to worsening CLD. The mechanism that causes these hypoxemic episodes is unknown. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), which is partially controlled by O(2)-sensitive voltage-gated potassium (K(v)) channels, is an important adaptive response to local hypoxia that helps to match perfusion and ventilation in the lung. OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that chronic lung injury (CLI) impairs HPV. METHODS: We studied preterm lambs that had MV with O(2)-rich gas for 3 weeks and newborn rats that breathed 95%-O(2) for 2 weeks, both of which resulted in airspace enlargement and pulmonary vascular changes consistent with CLD. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: HPV was attenuated in preterm lambs with CLI after 2 weeks of MV and in newborn rats with CLI after 2 weeks of hyperoxia. HPV and constriction to the K(v)1.x-specific inhibitor, correolide, were preferentially blunted in excised distal pulmonary arteries (dPAs) from hyperoxic rats, whose dPAs exhibited decreased K(v)1.5 and K(v)2.1 mRNA and K(+) current. Intrapulmonary gene transfer of K(v)1.5, encoding the ion channel that is thought to trigger HPV, increased O(2)-sensitive K(+) current in cultured smooth muscle cells from rat dPAs, and restored HPV in hyperoxic rats. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced expression/activity of O(2)-sensitive K(v) channels in dPAs contributes to blunted HPV observed in neonatal CLD.</P>

Obesity is characterized by an increase in the infiltration of monocytes into the adipose tissue, causing an inflammatory condition associated with, for example, the development of insulin resistance. Thus, anti-inflammatory-based treatments could emerge as a novel and interesting approach. It has been reported that Chilean native fruits maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) and calafate (Berberis microphylla) present high contents of polyphenols, which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of extracts of these fruits to block the pathogenic interaction between adipocytes and macrophages in vitro and to compare its effect with blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) extract treatment, which has been already described to possess several biomedical benefits. RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with 5 μg/mL lipopolysaccharides (LPS), with conditioned media (CM) from fully differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, or in a coculture (CC) with 3T3-L1 adipocytes, in the presence or absence of 100 μM [total polyphenolic content] of each extract for 24 h. The gene expression and secretion profile of several inflammatory markers were evaluated. Nitric oxide secretion induced by LPS, CM, and CC was reduced by the presence of maqui (- 12.2%, - 45.6%, and - 14.7%, respectively) and calafate (- 27.6%, - 43.9%, and - 11.8%, respectively) extracts. Gene expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and TNF-α was inhibited and of IL-10 was induced by maqui and calafate extract incubation. In conclusion, the extracts of these fruits present important inhibitory-like features over the inflammatory response of the interaction between adipocytes and macrophages, comprising a potential therapeutic tool against comorbidities associated with obesity development.

The objective of this work was the extraction and quantification of tannins obtained from the bark of four tree species from the forests of Ixtlan de Juarez, Oaxaca, Mexico (Arbutus xalapensis Kunth., Prunus serotina Ehrh., Quercus crassifolia Humb. and Bonpl., and Quercus laurina Humb. and Bonpl.), In this extraction process, 90% ethanol was used as solvent at an extraction temperature of 70 C for 2 h. The quantification of phenolic compounds, condensed tannins, and percentage of total extract, were obtained using the Stiasny number. The total extracts were 12.87, 16.38, 19.31, and 25.68% for P. serotina, Q. laurina, Q. crassifolia, and A. xalapensis, respectively. The condensed tannins were characterized by Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) where at 1626 cm1 is observed an isomerization that implies a rotation between the C and B rings that corresponding at elongation of bonds in benzene structure of catechin. The purity of the extracted tannins was analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The effectiveness of the extraction process was proven; the importance of knowing the amount of tannins will promote the utilization of the bark of these species. The results of the condensed tannin content place Quercus crasifolia (10.29%) and Arbutus xalapensis (13.12%) as potential sources of tannins.
