Oxidant-mediated reperfusion injury of the gut is a major contributor of the systemic inflammatory response in hemorrhagic shock. Recent studies have suggested that heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) represents an endogenous protective mechanism against oxidant stress. We assessed whether HO-1 induction modulates the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ) in hemorrhagic shock. In rats submitted to hemorrhagic shock, pretreatment with hemoglobin (Hb) increased HO-1 mRNA expression in macrophages. This increased expression was associated with a decreased expression of TNF-alpha mRNA, as well as decreased plasma concentrations of TNF-alpha . These effects of Hb were reduced by the HO-1 inhibitor tin-protoporphyrin (Sn-PP 20 µmol/kg), while Sn-PP had no effect in the absence of Hb. In parallel, Hb pretreatment reduced pulmonary edema, vascular injury, and increased mesenteric blood flow, and these effects were reduced by Sn-PP. Thus, induction of HO-1 is protective in hemorrhagic shock, possibly through its antioxidant properties. Interventions that induce HO-1 may be beneficial in the treatment of shock states, leading to a reduced systemic inflammatory response.

Multiple organ failure, the leading cause of death in Intensive Care Units (1), is characterized by a generalized inflammatory response (2), that may largely originate from the gut (3). Recently, we have shown that gut ischemia/reperfusion is a major contributor of the systemic inflammatory response which occurs in hemorrhagic shock (4). However, the molecular mechanisms that link gut injury and systemic inflammation are still partly unknown.

Heme-oxygenase (HO) catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the oxidative degradation of heme to carbon monoxide (CO), bilirubin, and iron (5). CO is a gas molecule that shares some of the properties of NO, especially the capacity to activate soluble guanylate cyclase (8, 9). Two isoenzymes of HO, HO-1 and HO-2, exist and are the products of two distinct genes (10). HO-2 is expressed constitutively, while HO-1 is highly induced by heme, but also by oxidative stress (14). Such induction may be protective against oxidative stress through the production of bilirubin, a metabolite with antioxidant properties (18, 19). Indeed, HO-1 induction increases antioxidant defenses in rats and decreases mortality in septic shock (20), and also prevents venular leukocyte adhesion after hemorrhage (19). Moreover, CO produced by HO-1 may induce vasodilatation (21), which could also be protective in situations of organ injury. However, whether HO-1 modulates the systemic inflammatory response in situations such as hemorrhagic shock is largely unknown.

Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate whether HO-1 induction modulates the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ) in rats subjected to hemorrhagic shock.

Animals

Adult male Wistar rats, weighing 300-320 g each, were kept at 25° C with 12 h light/dark cycles. Animals were fasted 16-20 h before experimentation and allowed water ad libitum.

Preparation of Peritoneal Macrophages

Peritoneal macrophages were harvested by five consecutive washes of the peritoneal cavity with 10 ml of ice cold medium containing 5% fetal calf serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 1% glutamine. Cells were washed once with RPMI medium and centrifuged at 280 × g for 15 min at 4° C. The pellet was dispersed and used for RNA extraction.

RNA Isolation and RT-PCR

Total RNA extraction was extracted from peritoneal macrophages according to a one-step method, as described previously (4). Reverse transcription protocols were performed with 2 µg of total RNA in 30 µl (final volume) of reaction buffer. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as an internal control. Aliquots of the reverse transcription reaction were amplified with the following rat primers :

The number of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cycles was 24 for TNF-alpha and 30 for HO-1. Products were separated by electrophoresis, and gels were stained with ethidium bromide, illuminated with ultraviolet (UV) light, and measured by quantitative scanning densitometry of autoradiographs. These analyses were normalized to the amount of amplified GAPDH as an endogenous internal standard.

Production of TNF-alpha

TNF-alpha concentration was measured by immunoassay (Biosource International Cytoscreen Rat TNF-alpha Ultrasensitive Elisa). The plasma was passed through a 0.22-mm filter before use. The minimal detectable dose of TNF-alpha is < 0.7 pg/ml.

Measurement of Mesenteric Blood Flow

Anesthetized rats were subjected to laparotomy under sterile conditions. A Doppler probe (internal diameter 1-1.5 mm) was placed around the mesenteric artery and connected to a Triton System 6 signal processor and a Gould chart recorder, in order to measure mesenteric blood velocity and to calculate mesenteric blood flow (4).

Determination of Fluid Resuscitation Requirement

Animals in all groups with hemorrhagic shock required fluid resuscitation in addition to the reinjection of their shed blood to maintain their mean arterial pressure (MAP) to at least 90% of baseline. The cumulative fluid requirements after 3 h of resuscitation was used as an indicator of vascular injury after shock.

Determination of Lung Wet-weight to Dry-weight Ratio

The changes in pulmonary microvascular permeability were evaluated by the measurement of the lung wet-weight to dry-weight ratio (25). Lung tissus samples were dried at 80° C for 24 h. The dry tissue weight was then determined and wet-weight to dry-weight ratios were calculated as an index of pulmonary edema.

Induction of Hemorrhagic Shock

Rats were anesthetized with 50 mg/kg body weight of pentobarbital intraperitoneally. The carotid arteries and the jugular vein were dissected out using sterile techniques and then cannulated with polyethylene tubing (PE 20). Catheters were inserted into the jugular vein for fluid injection, the left carotid artery for measurement of blood pressure (Millar 2F catheter), and the right carotid for the induction of hemorrhage. Hemorrhage was initiated by bleeding the animal into a heparinized syringe over a period of 30 min to achieve a mean arterial blood pressure of 40 mm Hg. In this model, the rate of blood withdrawal was 0.3 ml/min and the volume of blood withdrawn was 25 ml/kg and was not different between groups. This level of blood pressure was maintained for 60 min by further blood withdrawal or by reinfusing the shed blood. At this point, animals were resuscitated over 20 min by first returning all shed blood, followed by administering warmed NaCl 0.9% in volumes necessary to maintain MAP within 90% of baseline levels. If MAP was < 90% of baseline, 5 ml/kg NaCl 0.9% was infused and MAP was measured again after 5 min. This process was continued until MAP was > 90% of baseline. Fluid resuscitation was continued for 3 h.

At the end of the resuscitation period, the surviving rats were subjected to laparotomy and peritoneal macrophages were harvested for the measurements of TNF-alpha . Carotid and mesenteric blood samples were collected in syringes containing 5 U heparin. Samples were immediatly centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 min, and plasma was stored at -80° C until it was used for measurement of TNF-alpha and lactate.

Experimental Protocols

HO-1 induction was obtained by administering rat hemoglobin 50 mg/kg (Sigma Chemical Co, St Louis, MO) in normal saline intravenously, 16 h before resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. The preparation was made under sterile conditions to be free of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A 16 h pretreatment was chosen because previous reports have indicated that it corresponds to the peak HO-1 activity in rat tissues (20, 26).

HO-1 mRNA expression in peritoneal macrophages after hemorrhagic shock. Rats (n = 10 per group) were assigned to 12 experimental groups. They were subjected either to sham surgery or to hemorrhagic shock without (time 0) or with 1, 2, or 3 h saline restitution, without or with Hb pretreatment. At the end of each experiment, macrophages were isolated for the measurement of HO-1 mRNA expression.

Effect of hemoglobin on HO-1 mRNA expression in lungs. HO-1 mRNA expression in lungs was studied in rats subjected to hemorrhage alone or hemorrhage followed by 1, 2, or 3 h of saline restitution, without or with hemoglobin pretreatment.

Role of HO-1 induction or inhibition on TNF-alpha production after hemorrhagic shock. TNF-alpha concentrations were assessed in the systemic and mesenteric blood 3 h after resuscitation, as this corresponds to their maximal peak increase in the present experimental conditions (4).

To test the role of HO-1 in the inflammatory response during resuscitation, we employed a competitive inhibitor of HO-1: tin-protoporphyrin (Sn-PP, 20 µmol/kg) administered subcutaneously 3 h before saline resuscitation.

Rats (n = 10 per group) were assigned to five experimental groups: control without hemorrhagic shock (C), hemorrhagic shock (HS), hemorrhagic shock with Hb administration (HS+Hb), hemorrhagic shock with Sn-PP administration (HS+Sn-PP), and hemorrhagic shock with hemoglobin and Sn-PP administration (HS+Hb+Sn-PP). At the end of each experiment, carotid and mesenteric blood samples were collected and macrophages were isolated as described above for measurement of cytokine production and mRNA expression.

Data Analysis

Data are presented as means ± SD. Results were compared using t test or ANOVA when appropriate, and a p value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

Survival

All animals survived in the control groups (C). One animal out of 10 in the HS group died within 3 h of resuscitation, whereas all animals survived in the hemorrhagic shock group receiving Hb (HS+Hb and HS+Hb+Sn-PP) or Sn-PP (HS+Sn-PP).

Hemodynamic Parameters

In controls (C), MAP was maintained at 120 mm Hg throughout the experiment. In the group of rats submitted to hemorrhagic shock, MAP decreased significantly to 40 mm Hg during blood withdrawal and was maintained at this level for 60 min. After saline resuscitation, MAP returned to 120 mm Hg within the first 30 min, without significant difference from the control group (Figure 1). No effect of Hb, Sn-PP, or Hb+Sn-PP on MAP was observed at any time point.

Data represent mean ± SD.

In controls (C), mesenteric blood flow was maintained around 5.6 ml/min/kg throughout the experiment. In the groups of rats submitted to hemorrhage, mesenteric blood flow decreased significantly to 1.7 ± 0.4 ml/min/kg after hemorrhage and returned to 5.1 ± 0.5 ml/min/kg after saline restitution. This level was below baseline level, although this was not significant. In the group of rats submitted to hemorrhagic shock with Hb pretreatment, mesenteric blood flow decreased significantly to 1.7 ± 0.3 ml/min/kg and returned to baseline level, without significant difference with the HS group. In the group of rats submitted to hemorrhagic shock with Sn-PP pretreatment, mesenteric blood flow decreased significantly to 1.8 ± 0.5 ml/min/kg and returned to baseline level, without significant difference with the HS group. Similar results were found with the HS+Hb+Sn-PP group.

Fluid Resuscitation Requirements

In the four groups of rats with hemorrhagic shock followed by saline restitution (HS), either in the absence or presence of hemoglobin (HS+Hb), or tin-proporphyrin (HS+Sn-PP and HS+Hb+Sn-PP), animals required fluid resuscitation in addition to a complete reinfusion of their shed blood to maintain MAP at a value of at least 90% of the baseline. At 1 h, all animals were alive, and the cumulative fluid requirement was 29 ± 3 ml/kg for the saline group (HS), 25 ± 2 ml/kg for the Hb group (HS+Hb), 28 ± 2 ml/kg for the Sn-PP group (HS+Sn-PP), and 29 ± 2 ml/kg for the Hb+Sn-PP group (HS+Hb+Sn-PP). At this early time point of resuscitation, there were no significant differences between the four groups (Figure 2). However, fluid resuscitation requirements were significantly less in the Hb-treated group (HS+Hb) than in untreated hemorrhagic shock rats (HS). This Hb-induced reduction in fluid requirement was prevented by Sn-PP, while Sn-PP had no effect in the absence of Hb. Indeed the cumulative fluid volumes were 88 ± 3 ml/kg for the untreated group (HS), 60 ± 2 ml/kg for the Hb group, 85 ± 3 ml/kg for the Sn-PP group, and 87 ± 4 ml/kg for the Sn-PP+Hb group (Figure 2). It must be noted that the mean value from the untreated group (HS) is underestimated because of the death of one animal before the end of the experiment.

Data represent mean ± SD.

Lung Wet-weight to Dry-weight Ratio

In the control group, lung wet-weight to dry-weight ratio was 4.33 ± 0.16. This ratio was increased to 6.19 ± 0.28 in the untreated hemorrhagic shock rats (HS). The hemorrhagic shock-induced lung edema was reduced by hemoglobin pretreatment (4.8 ± 0.3). Sn-PP abolished the effect of Hb on lung edema (6.1 ± 0.4), but had no effect in the absence of Hb (6.2 ± 0.2 ).

HO-1 mRNA Expression in Peritoneal Macrophages after Hemorrhagic Shock

As compared with control rats, hemorrhagic shock without resuscitation did not significantly affect HO-1 mRNA in peritoneal macrophages. During saline resuscitation, an increased HO-1 mRNA expression was first observed at 2 h and further increased at 3 h (Figure 3). On the contrary, HO-1 mRNA expression was not modified at the same times in the control groups without hemorrhagic shock.

In our experiments, we observed a high expression of HO-1 mRNA in peritoneal macrophages after hemorrhagic shock in rats. Furthermore, evidence that early HO-1 induction plays an important role in mediating protection against inflammatory response and organ injury after hemorrhagic shock was provided by the following observations. First, hemoglobin pretreatment 16 h before shock induced mRNA HO-1 expression in peritoneal macrophages, at the end of hemorrhagic shock (i.e., immediately before resuscitation). Second, the same treatment was associated with a marked decrease in the synthesis of TNF-alpha after resuscitation, a decrease in fluid resuscitation requirements, and a prevention of pulmonary edema. Third, the protection induced by Hb was abolished by a competitive inhibitor of HO. Thus, our data provide evidence that HO-1 induction plays a protective role against the inflammatory response observed after hemorrhagic shock.

A number of studies have been performed regarding the role of antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, in mediating protection against oxidant-induced tissue injury (27). Another potentially important stress response protein is HO-1. Indeed, HO-1 is induced not only by the substrate heme but also by a variety of nonheme substances such as heavy metals, endotoxin, heat shock, cytokines, and prostaglandins. In addition to its role in heme degradation, the induction of HO-1 by a wide variety of factors may play a defensive role against oxidative stress in situations such as inflammation, irradiation, and light (30). The wide distribution of this enzyme in tissues, as well as the biological activities of CO, iron, and bilirubin, make HO-1 a highly attractive and interesting candidate stress response protein.

In agreement with our results, several studies have demonstrated that HO-1 plays a major role in the defense against lethal endototoxic shock or in situations of increased inflammatory responses. Indeed, rats pretreated with Hb 16 h before LPS injection have been shown to survive to a lethal dose of LPS, while treatment with Sn-PP renders the animals more susceptible to a lethal dose of LPS (20). Such Hb-induced protection against LPS is dependent on HO-1 but not on ferritin (35). Moreover, Hayashi and coworkers showed that HO-1 induction by hemin prevents the increased venular adhesion of leukocytes induced by hemorrhagic shock, but also by oxidant stress or NO inhibition (19).

The antioxidant properties of biliverdin/bilirubin, a metabolite of heme degradation, have been proposed as a molecular mechanism mediating the protection seen after induction of HO-1 (36, 37). Indeed, Hayashi and coworkers (19) showed that the effects of HO-1 induction on leukocyte adhesion could be mimicked by bilirubin, suggesting that this product of HO reaction was an important contributor of the antiinflammatory effect.

Another possible mechanism of the protective effects of the increased HO activity is through the degradation of heme. Heme is a potentially damaging species that not only provides a lipophilic form of iron but can directly attack the lipid bilayer, the cytoskeleton, and DNA (38, 39). Recent investigations have shown a link between induction of HO and ferritin synthesis in oxidant stress (40). Incubation of cultured endothelial cells with heme results in marked induction of HO and ferritin as well as an acquired cellular resistance toward oxidant-mediated injury (41). Such resistance is dependent on increased cellular stores of ferritin, which sequester potentially damaging catalytic iron. In a recent study, the resistance to injury conferred by endotoxin in a model of acute renal failure has been shown to involve HO-1 and ferritin synthesis (42).

We have found that Hb pretreatment leads to a rise in mesenteric blood flow during restitution. Although Hayashi and coworkers failed to show any inhibitory effect of CO on leukocyte adhesion (19), the increased intestinal flow might be indirectly related to the antiinflammatory effects of this treatment, or the consequence of the vasodilatory effects of CO (21). In any case, the possible role of CO in the protected effect of HO-1 cannot be excluded in our present experiments.

Gut injury seems to play a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failure. The present study demonstrated a beneficial role of HO-1 induction in regulating the inflammatory response after hemorrhagic shock with gut injury. Thus HO-1 induction could be of great importance in the course of stress response and vascular control in hemorrhagic shock.
