C1 Esterase Inhibitor Reduces Lower Extremity Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and Associated Lung Damage

Abstract: BackgroundIschemia/reperfusion injury of lower extremities and associated lung damage may result from thrombotic occlusion, embolism, trauma, or surgical intervention with prolonged ischemia and subsequent restoration of blood flow. This clinical entity is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Deprivation of blood supply leads to molecular and structural changes in the affected tissue. Upon reperfusion inflammatory cascades are activated causing tissue injury. We therefore tested preoperative treatmen… Show more

“…The complex signaling pathways and markedly unpredictable interpatient heterogeneity of IPF contribute to the disappointing outcomes of many clinical trials. Complement activation, a key component of the innate immune system, is triggered in response to multiple types of tissue injury (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Previous studies have reported immune complexes in IPF that could activate complement (11), whereas more recent studies have reported the presence of complement activation products in patients with IPF and that the alternative pathway, fragment Ba, was clinically relevant as an indicator of disease severity (12).…”

“…The etiology of Port-Revascularization Syndrome is not fully known, but it is accepted as a multifactorial chain with a time-dependent molecular and structural change of the affected tissues: inflammatory cascades are activated with excessive complement deposition on the vascular endothelium; endothelial cells and white blood cells are activated; great production of free radicals responsible for increasing capillary permeability, edema and cell aggregation; and release of vasoactive factor that causes further damage to local and remote tissues [3,7].…”

“…Most studies have attempted to show that one drug will make a difference, and regarding I/R lesion in vitro experiments and preclinical studies have shown good results. Nonetheless, the lesion is manifested systemically and affects several processes; therefore, the correct approach needs several drugs targeting the physiopathological process (Figure 3) [13, 55, 64, 65, 75, 92, 94, 95, 100, 104, 183185]. …”
