ABSTRACT
Objective:
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) of the aorta is a significant contributor to the development of postoperative acute lung damage after abdominal aortic surgery. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of alpha B-crystallin, a small heat shock protein (known as HspB5), on lung injury induced by abdominal aortic IR in rats.Methods:
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups control, ischemia-reperfusion (IR, 90 min ischemia and 180 min reperfusion), and alpha B-crystallin +IR. Alpha B-crystallin (50 µg/100 g) was intraperitoneally administered 1 h before IR. Lung tissue samples were obtained for histological and biochemical analyses of oxidative stress and cytokine and apoptosis parameters in plasma, lung tissues, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid.Results:
The levels of malondialdehyde, reactive oxygen species, total oxidant status, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1ß), nuclear factor kappa B (NFKß), caspase-9 (CASP-9), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, total antioxidant status, superoxide dismutase, and interleukin-10 levels in lung tissues, plasma, and BAL fluid (p<0.05 versus control) increased in Aortic IR. However, alpha B-crystallin significantly reduced the lung tissue levels of oxidative, inflamatuvar, and apoptotic parameters in the plasma, lung tissues, and BAL fluid (p<0.05 versus aortic IR). Histopathological results showed that alpha B-crystallin ameliorated the morphological changes related to lung injury (p<0.001).Conclusion:
Alpha B-crystallin substantially restored disrupted the redox balance, inflammation, and apoptotic parameters in rats exposed to IR. The cytoprotective effect of alpha B-crystallin on redox balance might be attributed to improved lung injury.
