Mouse gene expression profiling in ventilator-induced lung injury

ABSTRACT: In this model of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), we compared the gene expression profile of whole lungs extracted from sponaneously breathing mice (control, c) or mouse submitted to 8 hours mechanical venitlation with 12 ml/kg tidal volume 2cmH2O of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) (ventilation, v). Spontaneously breathing NOD/shi mice were randomized to control (n=3) or ventilation (n=5) condition. In brief, mice were anesthetized with the injection of ketamine (65 mg/kg, ip), acepromazine (2 mg/kg, ip) and xylazine (13 mg/kg, ip)(Henry Schein Inc., Melville, NY). Once deep sedation was achieved, a tracheostomy was performed and a PE-10 cannula was inserted in the trachea and stabilized with silk ligature. Control animals were immediately sacrificied with a supra-physiological dose of ketamine (300 mg/kg, ip). For ventilated mice, the cannula was connected to a custom built Voltek rodent ventilator (Voltek Enterprises, Toronto, CA). We ventilated mice for 8 hours using 2cmH2O positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), inflating the lungs every hour to 20 cmH2O pressure as we have previously described. (16). The chest muscle was paralyzed with the injection of pancurorium (1mg/kg, ip)(Sigma-Aldrich) in ventilated mice to avoid spontaneous breathing. Heart rate and respiratory rate was continuously monitored and additional anesthesia was provided if a >15% increase in these parameters was detected. The animal protocol was approved by the BWH Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (protocol #04477). Ventilated animals At the end of the each experiment, the animals were sacrificed with a supra-physiological dose of ketamine (300 mg/kg, ip). Subsequently, the chest cavity was opened, and the right lung was isolated and ligated at the main bronchus.Lungs were harvested and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for total RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted from lungs of controls (n=3) and mice submitted to ventilation (n=5) and there gene expression profiles were compared.

Project description:Introduction: The ideal ventilation strategy for patients with massive brain damage requires better elucidation. We hypothesized that in the presence of massive brain injury, a ventilation strategy using low (6 mL/kg) tidal volume (VT) ventilation with open lung positive end-expiratory pressure set according to the minimal static elastance of the respiratory system (LVT/OLPEEP), attenuate the impact of massive brain damage on gas-exchange, respiratory mechanics, lung histology and whole genome alterations compared with high (12 mL/kg) VT and low PEEP ventilation (HVT/LPEEP). Methods: Twenty-eight adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups: 1) no brain damage (NBD) with LVT/OLPEEP; 2) NBD with HVT/LPEEP; 3) brain damage (BD) with LVT/OLPEEP; and 4) BD with HVT/LPEEP. All animals were mechanically ventilated for six hours. Brain damage was induced by an inflated balloon catheter into the epidural space. Hemodynamics was recorded and blood gas analysis was performed hourly. At the end of the experiment, respiratory system mechanics and lung histology were analysed. Whole genome analysis was performed using Affimetrix gene chips and confirmatory real-time PCR. Results: In NBD, both LVT/OLPEEP and HVT/LPEEP did not affect arterial blood gases, as well as whole genome expression changes and real-time PCR. In BD, LVT/OLPEEP, compared to HVT/LPEEP, reduced lung damage according to histology, genome analysis and real-time PCR with decreased interleukin (IL-6), cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1 and angiopoietin-4 expressions. LVT/OLPEEP compared to HVT/LPEEP improved overall survival. Conclusions: In BD, LVT/OLPEEP minimizes lung morpho-functional changes and inflammation compared to HVT/LPEEP. LVT/OLPEEP might represent a suitable ventilatory strategy in massive brain damage. 24 Wistar rats - lung samples, 4 groups, 1. non-braindamaged/braindead high tidal volume ventilation, 2. non-braindamaged/braindead best PEEP ventilation, 3. Braindamaged/braindead high tidal volume ventilation, 4. Braindamaged/braindead best PEEP ventilation

Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle wasting and impaired muscle function in response to mechanical ventilation and immobilization in intensive care unit (ICU) patients are clinically challenging partly due to (i) the poorly understood intricate cellular and molecular networks; and (ii) the unavailability of an animal model mimicking this condition. By employing a unique porcine model mimicking the conditions in the ICU with long-term mechanical ventilation and immobilization, we have analyzed the expression profile of skeletal muscle biopsies taken at three time points during a five-day period. Results: We have analyzed the expression profile of skeletal muscle biopsies taken at three time points during a five-day period. Among the differentially regulated transcripts, extracellular matrix, energy metabolism, sarcomeric proteins and LIM protein mRNA levels were down-regulated while ubiquitin proteasome system, cathepsins, oxidative stress responsive genes and heat shock proteins (HSP) mRNAs were up-regulated Conclusions: We conclude that induction of HSPs may play an inherent temporary protective mechanism in skeletal muscle in the early stages of immobilization and mechanical ventilation. The proposed molecular events leading to our final hypothesis are illustrated in the manuscript. Keywords: Treatment, immobilization, muscle function. Sixteen female domestic piglets (Sus scrofa, average body weight 26.5 kg) were used in this study. All piglets were immobilized by anesthesia and mechanically ventilated (Servo 900C, Siemens-Elema, Solna, Sweden). The first m. biceps femoris biopsies (day 1) were obtained from all animals, after administering anesthetics. During the five day study period, four animals were sedated using isoflurane inhalation (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, Il, USA, 0.8 – 1.3% end-tidal concentration) supplemented by intravenous bolus doses of morphine and ketamine as needed. Biopsies from the m. biceps femoris were obtained on two further separate occasions (days 3 and 5) in these animals. Core body temperature (blood) was maintained in the range of 38.5 – 40°C by a servocontrolled heating pad. The animals received intravenous crystalloid fluid (Ringer’s acetate) to maintain stable blood pressure and urinary output and a glucose infusion (Rehydrex, Fresenius Kabi, Stockholm, Sweden, 25 mg glucose /mL) in the range of 0.5 – 1.5 mg/kg/minute to decrease the effects of catabolism. Each animal received prophylactic streptomycin 750 mg/d and benzylpenicillin 600 mg/d (Streptocillin Vet, Boeringer-Ingelheim, Hellerup, Denmark). Arterial blood gas analysis as well as electrolytes and blood glucose levels were monitored regularly and kept in the normal range throughout the study period.
