Abstract

The pulmonary endothelium is an immediate recipient of high oxygen concentrations upon oxygen therapy and mediates down-stream responses. Cyclic collapse and reopening of atelectatic lung areas during mechanical ventilation with high fractions of inspired oxygen result in the propagation of oxygen oscillations in the hypoxic/hyperoxic range. We used primary murine lung endothelial cell cultures to investigate cell responses to constant and oscillating oxygen conditions in the hypoxic to hyperoxic range. Severe constant hyperoxia had pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects including an increase in expression of ICAM1, E-selectin, and RAGE at 24 hr exposure. The coagulative/fibrinolytic system responded by upregulation of uPA, tPA, and vWF and PAI1 under constant severe hyperoxia. Among antioxidant enzymes, the upregulation of SOD2, TXN1, TXNRD3, GPX1, and Gstp1 at 24 hr, but downregulation of SOD3 at 72 hr constant hyperoxia was evident. Hypoxic/hyperoxic oscillating oxygen conditions induced pro-inflammatory cytokine release to a lesser extent and later than constant hyperoxia. Gene expression analyses showed upregulation of NFKB p65 mRNA at 72 hr. More evident was a biphasic response of NOS3 and ACE1 gene expression (downregulation until 24 hr and upregulation at 72 hr). ACE2 mRNA was upregulated until 72 hr, but shedding of the mature protein from the cell surface favored ACE1. Oscillations resulted in severe production of peroxynitrite, but apart from upregulation of Gstp1 at 24 hr responses of antioxidative proteins were less pronounced than under constant hyperoxia. Oscillating oxygen in the hypoxic/hyperoxic range has a characteristical impact on vasoactive mediators like NOS3 and on the activation of the renin-angiotensin system in the lung endothelium.
