Claude H. Organ, Jr. Memorial Lecture: Splanchnic hypoperfusion provokes acute lung injury via a 5-lipoxygenase–dependent mechanism

Abstract: Postinjury multiple organ failure (MOF) is the net result of the dysfunctional immune response to injury characterized by a hyperactive innate system and a suppressed adaptive system. Acute lung injury (ALI) is the first clinical manifestation of organ failure, followed by renal and hepatic dysfunction. Circulatory shock is integral in the early pathogenesis of MOF, and the gut has been invoked as the “motor of MOF”. Mesenteric lymph is recognized as the mechanistic link between splanchnic ischemia / reperfusi… Show more

“…Unregulated calcium influx, oxidative stress and cell swelling associated with ischemia/hypoxia activate PLA 2 , which is particularly highly concentrated in the gut [15], [16]. Moore and his collaborators have already pointed out that PLA 2 is extremely active following mesenteric artery occlusion and plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury [17], [18], [19].…”

“…The Alox5 encodes arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme that converts arachidonate (or eiosatetraenoic acid) to leukotriene A4, which can be converted to leukotrienes B4, C4, and D4. The resulting leukotrienes are elevated in ALI (45). In gene-targeted deficient mice or in animals treated with ALOX5 inhibitors, neutrophil infiltration and lavage protein are decreased after various forms of lung injury (89)(90)(91)(92)(93)(94).…”

“…Arachidonic acid is abundant in PSML, and leukotrienes are increased in the lungs of animals following T/HS, making these lipids the current focus of intensive investigation in our lab. 37 Postshock mesenteric lymph may be toxic through a variety of mechanisms, including endothelial inflammation, 6,26 neutrophil priming, 38,39,40 enhanced apoptosis, 41 pulmonary epithelial inflammation, 42 and RBC hemolysis. 43,32 …”
