Project description:Scientific knowledge on the subjects: Injurious mechanical ventilation amplifies acute lung injury in a heterogeneous and regional fashion but the molecular mechanisms underlying regional lung injury and the protective effects of prone positioning are unclear. Regionally injurious ventilation is associated with discrete differential lung transcriptomic changes. Ventilating in the prone, compared with the supine position abrogates regional injury by depressing MKP-1. Adult rats were ventilated with high (18 mL/Kg, PEEP 0) tidal volume (Vt) in supine or prone position. Non ventilated rats were used as controls. Dorsal-caudal lung mRNA was analyzed by microarray.
Project description:Purpose: ATAC-seq was performed on preterm lambs that were ventilated by invasive mechanical ventilation or noninvasive respiratory support utilizing a mask and compared to gestation-age-matched preterm lambs that were not ventilated and naturally delivered term lambs. Methods: Lung chromatin access profiles were generated for: 1) Unventilated preterm lamb, 2) preterm lambs delivered at gd131 and intubated and mechanically ventilated for 3 days, 3) preterm lambs delivered at gd131 and not intubated and resuscitated by placing a face mask over the nose and mouth and controlling O2 delivery via a computer-controlled electronic blower device, 4) unventilated naturally delivered full-term lambs. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped between 76 and 96 million sequence reads per sample to the sheep genome Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of ventilated preterm lung chromatin access, with biologic replicates, generated by ATAC-seq
Project description:Background: Mechanical ventilation causes ventilator-induced lung injury in animals and humans. Mitogen-activated protein kinases have been implicated in ventilator-induced lung injury though their functional significance remains incomplete. We characterize the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase/ mitogen activated protein kinase kinase-3 and c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase-1 in ventilator-induced lung injury and investigate novel independent mechanisms contributing to lung injury during mechanical ventilation. Methodology and Principle Findings: C57/BL6 wild-type mice and mice genetically deleted for mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase-3 (mkk-3-/-) or c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase-1 (jnk1-/-) were ventilated, and lung injury parameters were assessed. We demonstrate that mkk3-/- or jnk1-/- mice displayed significantly reduced inflammatory lung injury and apoptosis relative to wild-type mice. Since jnk1-/- mice were highly resistant to ventilator-induced lung injury, we performed comprehensive gene expression profiling of ventilated wild-type or jnk1-/- mice to identify novel candidate genes which may play critical roles in the pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury. Microarray analysis revealed many novel genes differentially expressed by ventilation including matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP8) and GADD45a. Functional characterization of MMP8 revealed that mmp8-/- mice were sensitized to ventilator-induced lung injury with increased lung vascular permeability. Conclusions: We demonstrate that mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways mediate inflammatory lung injury during ventilator-induced lung injury. C-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase was also involved in alveolo-capillary leakage and edema formation, whereas MMP8 inhibited alveolo-capillary protein leakage. Keywords: response to injury, genetically modified mouse
Project description:To investigate the effect of mechanical ventilation and mechanical ventilationon with PEEP application on diaphragmatic dysfunction, we established a model of mechanical ventilation on New Zealand rabbit, in which rabbits in the experimental group were ventilated with/without PEEP application for 48 hours continuously

Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped between 61 and 81 million sequence reads per sample to the sheep genome Oar_v3.1/oviAri3 Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of ventilated preterm lung transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq
