Ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common complication caused by inflammation and oxidative stress resulting from liver surgery. Current therapeutic strategies do not present the desirable efficacy, and severe side effects can occur. To overcome these drawbacks, new therapeutic alternatives are necessary. Drug delivery nanosystems have been explored due to their capacity to improve the therapeutic index of conventional drugs. Within nanocarriers, liposomes are one of the most successful, with several formulations currently in the market. As improved therapeutic outcomes have been demonstrated by using liposomes as drug carriers, this nanosystem was used to deliver quercetin, a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, in hepatic IRI treatment. In the present work, a stable quercetin liposomal formulation was developed and characterized. Additionally, an in vitro model of ischemia and reperfusion was developed with a hypoxia chamber, where the anti-inflammatory potential of liposomal quercetin was evaluated, revealing the downregulation of pro-inflammatory markers. The anti-inflammatory effect of quercetin liposomes was also assessed in vivo in a rat model of hepatic IRI, in which a decrease in inflammation markers and enhanced recovery were observed. These results demonstrate that quercetin liposomes may provide a significant tool for addressing the current bottlenecks in hepatic IRI treatment.

In vitro, nitric oxide (NO) decreases leukocyte adhesion to endothelium by attenuating endothelial adhesion molecule expression. In vivo, lipopolysaccharide-induced leukocyte rolling and adhesion was greater in inducible NO synthase (iNOS)−/− mice than in wild-type mice. The objective of this study was to assess E- and P-selectin expression in the microvasculature of iNOS−/− and wild-type mice subjected to acute peritonitis by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP). E- and P-selectin expression were increased in various organs within the peritoneum of wild-type animals after CLP. This CLP-induced upregulation of E- and P-selectin was substantially reduced in iNOS−/− mice. Tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was increased to a greater extent in the gut of wild-type than in iNOS−/− mice subjected to CLP. In the lung, the reduced expression of E-selectin in iNOS−/− mice was not associated with a decrease in MPO. Our findings indicate that NO derived from iNOS plays an important role in sepsis-induced increase in selectin expression in the systemic and pulmonary circulation. However, in iNOS−/− mice, sepsis-induced leukocyte accumulation is affected in the gut but not in the lungs.

Coronary Ischemia

Ischemia and reperfusion cause coronary vascular and myocardial injury, which may be due to leukocyte-mediated processes. Antileukocyte measures have reduced injury after brief reperfusion periods of 1-3 h, but there has been little information on whether benefits are apparent after longer periods of reperfusion. We examined the effect of pretreatment with a monoclonal antibody (R15.7) to the CD18 family of leukocyte adhesion molecules (beta2-integrins) in dogs exposed to regional coronary ischemia for 1 h of left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and then reperfused for 48 h. Coronary microvascular permeability was assessed in vivo by measurement of protein leak index (PLI), using a double-isotope technique with autologous radiolabeled transferrin and erythrocytes. Vasorelaxation was measured in vitro with preconstricted epicardial coronary artery rings subjected to increasing concentrations of the endothelium-dependent vasodilators bradykinin (BK) and ADP and the endothelium-independent vasodilator nitroprusside. At 48 h of reperfusion in untreated dogs there were substantial increases in PLI in the previously ischemic regions, indicative of increased extravascular transferrin. These abnormalities were decreased, but not abolished, in the dogs treated with R15.7. Relaxation of rings from the ischemic/reperfused artery to BK and ADP were blunted in the untreated dogs. R15.7 resulted in improvement in some, but not all, indexes of relaxation in response to BK and ADP. Relaxation to nitroprusside was normal in ischemic/reperfused coronary rings from both treated and untreated dogs. Therefore, after 1 h of regional coronary ischemia and 48 h of reperfusion, coronary endothelial injury, which was manifested by increased coronary microvascular permeability and abnormalities in coronary endothelium-dependent relaxation, was reduced by pretreatment with the anti-CD18 integrin antibody R15.7.

Hepatic Ischemia

Inflammation and oxidative stress are pivotal mechanisms for the pathogenesis of ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI). Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may participate in maintaining oxidative homeostasis and response to external stimulus or injury. We investigated whether the in vivo VNS can protect the liver from IRI. In this study, hepatic IRI were induced by ligating the vessels supplying the left and middle lobes of the liver, which underwent 1 h occlusion followed with 24 h reperfusion. VNS was initiated 15 min after ischemia and continued 30 min. Hepatic function, histology, and apoptosis rates were evaluated after 24 h reperfusion. Compared with the IRI group, VNS significantly improved hepatic function. The protective effect was accompanied by a reduction in histological damage in the ischemic area, and the apoptosis rate of hepatocytes has considerable reduction. To find the underlying mechanism, proteomic analysis was performed and differential expression of glutathione synthetase (GSS) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) was observed. Subsequently, test results indicated that VNS upregulated the expression of mRNA and protein of GSS and GST. Meanwhile, VNS increased the plasma levels of glutathione and glutathione peroxidases. We found that VNS alleviated hepatic IRI by upregulating the antioxidant glutathione via the GSS/glutathione/GST signaling pathway.
