Adiponectin Protects Against Hyperoxic Lung Injury and Vascular Leak

Abstract: Adiponectin (Ad), an adipokine exclusively secreted by the adipose tissue, has emerged as a paracrine metabolic regulator as well as a protectant against oxidative stress. Pharmacological approaches of protecting against clinical hyperoxic lung injury during oxygen therapy/treatment are limited. Earlier, we have reported that Ad inhibits the NADPH oxidase-catalyzed formation of superoxide from molecular oxygen in human neutrophils. Having this as the premise, we conducted studies to determine whether (i) exoge… Show more

“…Further, in an in vivo experiment, adiponectin‐overexpressing transgenic mice had significantly lower levels of lipid peroxidation products (hypoxia‐induced) compared with wild‐type mice. The levels of GSH were also higher in the lungs of the transgenic mice compared with wild‐type ().…”

“…Furthermore, adiponectin can be transported from circulation to alveolar through T-cadherin on the endothelium. These support its potential roles in lung injury [62, 63]. Lung injury is a complicated pathogenesis process, including activation of immune system and inflammation, stimulation of endothelium, increased capillary permeability, neutrophil and macrophage infiltration, and leaking of albumin [64, 65].…”

“…Another potential limitation is that a dose response was not done for LPS and rAPN. Transgenic mice with APN levels three times greater than wild-type mice are protected from hyperoxic lung injury (Sliman et al, 2013). Thus, in preliminary experiments using newborn rats, we determined the dose and time to achieve plasma APN levels two to three times greater than baseline levels after IP injection.…”
