    OBJECTIVES: Lung transplantation is limited by the systemic repercussions of brain death (BD). Studies have shown the potential protective role of 17 beta-estradiol on the lungs. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of estradiol on the long-lasting lung inflammatory state to understand a possible therapeutic application in lung donors with BD. METHODS: Female Wistar rats were separated into 3 groups: BD, subjected to brain death (6h); E2-T0, treated with 17 beta-estradiol (50 mu g/mL, 2 mL/h) immediately after brain death; and E2-T3, treated with 17 beta-estradiol (50 mu g/ml, 2 ml/h) after 3h of BD. Complement system activity and macrophage presence were analyzed. TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-10, and IL-6 gene expression (RT-PCR) and levels in 24h lung culture medium were quantified. Finally, analysis of caspase-3 gene and protein expression in the lung was performed. RESULTS: Estradiol reduced complement C3 protein and gene expression. The presence of lung macrophages was not modified by estradiol, but the release of inflammatory mediators was reduced and TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta gene expression were reduced in the E2-T3 group. In addition, caspase-3 protein expression was reduced by estradiol in the same group. CONCLUSIONS: Brain death-induced lung inflammation in females is modulated by estradiol treatment. Study data suggest that estradiol can control the inflammatory response by modulating the release of mediators after brain death in the long term. These results strengthen the idea of estradiol as a therapy for donor lungs and improving transplant outcomes.

    Estradiol mediates the long-lasting lung inflammation induced by intestinal ischemia and reperfusion
    (2018) FANTOZZI, Evelyn Thais; BREITHAUPT-FALOPPA, Ana Cristina; RICARDO-DA-SILVA, Fernanda Yamamoto; RODRIGUES-GARBIN, Sara; ROMERO, Daniel Cancelli; RODRIGUES, Adriana da Silva; RIFFO-VASQUEZ, Yanira; TAVARES-DE-LIMA, Wothan
    Background: Lung inflammation is one of the main consequences of intestinal ischemia reperfusion (intestinal IR) and, in severe cases, can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and death. We have previously demonstrated that estradiol exerts a protective effect on lung edema and cytokine release caused by intestinal IR in male rats. Materials and methods: We investigated the role of estradiol on the generation of interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 1 (CINC-1) in a female rat model of intestinal IR. Blood and bone marrow leukocytes were also quantified. Seven-days-ovariectomized rats were subjected to intestinal IR by occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min. After reperfusion of the tissue for 2 h, the rats were sacrificed. Lung tissue was collected, cultured for 24 h and assayed. Results: We observed a significant increase in serum levels of IL-10, CINC-1, uric acid and circulating, but not bone marrow, leukocyte numbers. In addition, intestinal IR induced a significant increase in the ex-vivo lung levels of IL-1 beta, IL-10, and VEGF. Treatment with 17b-estradiol before the induction of intestinal IR prevented the systemic release of IL-10, CINC-1, and uric acid, but it did not affect the leukocytosis. In addition, 17b-estradiol significantly prevented the ex-vivo release of IL-1b and VEGF from lung tissue. Conclusions: We demonstrated that intestinal IR interferes with lung homeostasis, priming the tissue to generate proinflammatory mediators for at least 24 h postischemia. Furthermore, our data confirm that the inflammatory responses caused by intestinal IR are estradiol mediated.

    Comparison of acute kidney injury following brain death between male and female rats
    (2023) ARMSTRONG JR., Roberto; RICARDO-DA-SILVA, Fernanda Yamamoto; VIDAL-DOS-SANTOS, Marina; ANUNCIACAO, Lucas Ferreira da; OTTENS, Petra J.; CORREIA, Cristiano Jesus; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe Pinho; LEUVENINK, Hendrik Gerrit Derk; BREITHAUPT-FALOPPA, Ana Cristina
    Background: Clinical reports associate kidneys from female donors with worse prognostic in male recipients. Brain Death (BD) produces immunological and hemodynamic disorders that affect organ viability. Following BD, female rats are associated with increased renal inflammation interrelated with female sex hormone reduction. Here, the aim was to investigate the effects of sex on BD-induced Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) using an Isolated Perfused rat Kidney (IPK) model.Methods: Wistar rats, females, and males (8 weeks old), were maintained for 4h after BD. A left nephrectomy was performed and the kidney was preserved in a cold saline solution (30 min). IPK was performed under normothermic temperature (37 & DEG;C) for 90 min using WME as perfusion solution. AKI was assessed by morphological analyses, staining of complement system components and inflammatory cell markers, perfusion flow, and creatinine clearance. Results: BD-male kidneys had decreased perfusion flow on IPK, a phenomenon that was not observed in the kidneys of BD-females (p < 0.0001). BD-male kidneys presented greater proximal (p = 0.0311) and distal tubule (p = 0.0029) necrosis. However, BD-female kidneys presented higher expression of eNOS (p = 0.0060) and greater upregulation of inflammatory mediators, iNOS (p = 0.0051), and Caspase-3 (p = 0.0099). In addition, both sexes had increased complement system formation (C5b-9) (p=0.0005), glomerular edema (p = 0.0003), and nNOS (p = 0.0051).Conclusion: The present data revealed an important sex difference in renal perfusion in the IPK model, evidenced by a pronounced reduction in perfusate flow and low eNOS expression in the BD-male group. Nonetheless, the upregulation of genes related to the proinflammatory cascade suggests a progressive inflammatory process in BDfemale kidneys.

    Male versus female inflammatory response after brain death model followed by ex vivo lung perfusion
    (2024) RICARDO-DA-SILVA, Fernanda Yamamoto; ARMSTRONG-JR, Roberto; RAMOS, Mayara Munhoz de Assis; VIDAL-DOS-SANTOS, Marina; CORREIA, Cristiano Jesus; OTTENS, Petra J.; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe Pinho; LEUVENINK, Henri G. D.; BREITHAUPT-FALOPPA, Ana Cristina
    BackgroundEx vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a useful tool for assessing lung grafts quality before transplantation. Studies indicate that donor sex is as an important factor for transplant outcome, as females present higher inflammatory response to brain death (BD) than males. Here, we investigated sex differences in the lungs of rats subjected to BD followed by EVLP.MethodsMale and female Wistar rats were subjected to BD, and as controls sham animals. Arterial blood was sampled for gas analysis. Heart-lung blocks were kept in cold storage (1 h) and normothermic EVLP carried out (4 h), meanwhile ventilation parameters were recorded. Perfusate was sampled for gas analysis and IL-1 beta levels. Leukocyte infiltration, myeloperoxidase presence, IL-1 beta gene expression, and long-term release in lung culture (explant) were evaluated.ResultsBrain dead females presented a low lung function after BD, compared to BD-males; however, at the end of the EVLP period oxygenation capacity decreased in all BD groups. Overall, ventilation parameters were maintained in all groups. After EVLP lung infiltrate was higher in brain dead females, with higher neutrophil content, and accompanied by high IL-1 beta levels, with increased gene expression and concentration in the culture medium (explant) 24 h after EVLP. Female rats presented higher lung inflammation after BD than male rats. Despite maintaining lung function and ventilation mechanics parameters for 4 h, EVLP was not able to alter this profile.ConclusionIn this context, further studies should focus on therapeutic measures to control inflammation in donor or during EVLP to increase lung quality. Ex vivo lung perfusion maintains lung function in lung grafts from brain dead rats, independently of sex;Inflammation is greater in female's lung grafts even after ex vivo perfusion when compared to males. As there is a shortage of viable lungs for transplantation, methods of lung preservation, such as ex vivo perfusion, are important. This method is a good alternative, as it will not only preserve the lungs, but also enable lung function assessment and treatment of the organs. Studies have showed that lungs from donors of the female sex have greater risk of being rejected, when transplanted to male receptors. However, it's not certain if sex differences in anatomy, physiology and specially in immune response could interfere with the transplant result. Females do present a greater and more efficient immune response to any hazard, however after brain death this control is lost, producing a great inflammatory response as a result. Therefore, in this study we have investigated in more detail the influence of sex on the effects of brain death followed by the preservation method. Thus, we performed a brain death model in males and females rats and placed their lungs in an ex vivo lung perfusion machine. At the end of the experiment, we analyzed lung ventilation, gas exchange, and inflammatory parameters. The obtained data indicated that overall the lung ventilation and gas exchange is maintained by the ex vivo perfusion machine. Also, that lung inflammation is influenced by the sex of the donor; where the lungs from females present greater inflammation compared to the lungs from males.

    Estradiol prevented intestinal ischemia and reperfusion-induced changes in intestinal permeability and motility in male rats
    (2021) RICARDO-DA-SILVA, Fernanda Yamamoto; FANTOZZI, Evelyn Thais; RODRIGUES-GARBIN, Sara; DOMINGOS, Helori Vanni; OLIVEIRA-FILHO, Ricardo Martins; VARGAFTIG, Bernardo Boris; RIFFO-VASQUEZ, Yanira; BREITHAUPT-FALOPPA, Ana Cristina; TAVARES-DE-LIMA, Wothan
    OBJECTIVES: Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) in the intestine could lead to severe endothelial injury, compromising intestinal motility. Reportedly, estradiol can control local and systemic inflammation induced by I/R injury. Thus, we investigated the effects of estradiol treatment on local repercussions in an intestinal I/R model. METHODS: Rats were subjected to ischemia via the occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (45 min) followed by reperfusion (2h). Thirty minutes after ischemia induction (E30), 17 beta-estradiol (E2) was administered as a single dose (280 mu g/kg, intravenous). Sham-operated animals were used as controls. RESULTS: I/R injury decreased intestinal motility and increased intestinal permeability, accompanied by reduced mesenteric endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and endothelin (ET) protein expression. Additionally, the levels of serum injury markers and inflammatory mediators were elevated. Estradiol treatment improved intestinal motility, reduced intestinal permeability, and increased eNOS and ET expression. Levels of injury markers and inflammatory mediators were also reduced following estradiol treatment. CONCLUSION: Collectively, our findings indicate that estradiol treatment can modulate the deleterious intestinal effects of I/R injury. Thus, estradiol mediates the improvement in gut barrier functions and prevents intestinal dysfunction, which may reduce the systemic inflammatory response.

    Protective role of 17 beta-estradiol treatment in renal injury on female rats submitted to brain death
    (2021) ARMSTRONG-JR, Roberto; RICARDO-DA-SILVA, Fernanda Yamamoto; VIDAL-DOS-SANTOS, Marina; CORREIA, Cristiano de Jesus; ANUNCIACAO, Lucas Ferreira; SILVA, Raphael dos Santos Coutinho e; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe Pinho; LEUVENINK, Henri Gerrit Derk; BREITHAUPT-FALOPPA, Ana Cristina
    Background: Clinical and experimental data highlight the consequences of brain death on the quality of organs and demonstrate the importance of donor state to the results of transplantation. Female rats show higher cardio-pulmonary injury linked to decreased concentrations of female sex hormones after brain-dead (BD). This study evaluated the effect of 17 beta-estradiol on brain death induced renal injury in female rats. Methods: Female Wistar rats were randomically allocated into 4 groups: false-operation (Sham), BD, treatment with 17 beta-estradiol (50 mu g/mL, 2 mL/h) 3 h after brain death (E2-T3), or immediately after brain death confirmation (E2-T0). Creatinine, urea, cytokines, and complement system components were quantified. Renal injury markers, such as KIM-1, Caspase-3, BCL-2 and MMP2/9 were evaluated. Results: Brain death leads to increased kidney KIM-1 expression and longer 17 beta-estradiol treatment resulted in downregulation (P<0.0001). There was increase of neutrophil numbers in kidney from BD rats and E2 treatment was able to reduce it (P=0.018). Regarding complement elements, E2-T3 group evidenced E2 therapeutic effects, reducing C5b-9 (P=0.0004), C3aR (P=0.054) and C5aR (P=0.019). In parallel, there were 17 beta-estradiol effects in reducing MMP2 (P=0.0043), MMP9 (P=0.011), and IL-6 (P=0.024). Moreover, E2-T3 group improved renal function in comparison to BD group (P=0.0938). Conclusions: 17 beta-estradiol treatment was able to reduce acute kidney damage in BD female rats owing to its ability to prevent tissue damage, formation of C5b-9, and local synthesis of inflammatory mediators.
