“…There is a wealth of evidence to suggest that the systemic inflammatory response that is associated with I/R injury contributes to the morbidity and mortality that is associated with the repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms [19] . The principal mechanisms of pharmacological therapy, such as the administration of high doses of the glucocorticoid steroid methylprednisolone that are used in humans, are likely to inhibit posttraumatic lipid peroxidation and inflammatory responses.…”

Aim: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of glycyrrhizin (Gly) against the ischemic injury of rat spinal cord and the possible role of the nuclear protein high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in the process. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 45 min aortic occlusion to induce transient lumbar spinal cord ischemia. The motor functions of the animals were assessed according to the modified Tarlov scale. The animals were sacrificed 72 h after reperfusion and the lumbar spinal cord segment (L2-L4) was taken out for histopathological examination and Western blotting analysis. Serum inflammatory cytokine and HMGB1 levels were analyzed using ELISA. Results: Gly (6 mg/kg) administered intravenously 30 min before inducing the transient lumbar spinal cord ischemia significantly improved the hind-limb motor function scores, and reduced the number of apoptotic neurons, which was accompanied by reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the plasma and injured spinal cord. Moreover, the serum HMGB1 level correlated well with the serum TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels during the time period of reperfusion. Conclusion:The results suggest that Gly can attenuate the transient spinal cord ischemic injury in rats via reducing inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting the release of HMGB1.

“…6D). The lectin pathway has been also demonstrated to regulate inflammation and tissue damage in several organs (7)(8)(9)(10). In MBLdeficient patients undergoing treatment for a thoracic abdominal aortic aneurysm, complement was not activated and levels of proinflammatory markers were reduced following surgery (8).…”

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolins are pattern recognition proteins acting in innate immunity, and they trigger the activation of the lectin complement pathway through MBL-associated serine proteases (MASPs). Upon activation of the lectin pathway, MASP-2 cleaves C4 and C2. A truncated form of MASP-2, named small MBL-associated protein (sMAP), is also associated with MBL/ficolin-MASP complexes. To clarify the role of sMAP, we have generated sMAP-deficient (sMAP−/−) mice by targeted disruption of the sMAP-specific exon. Because of the gene disruption, the expression level of MASP-2 was also decreased in sMAP−/− mice. When recombinant sMAP (rsMAP) and recombinant MASP-2 (rMASP-2) reconstituted the MBL-MASP-sMAP complex in deficient serum, the binding of these recombinant proteins to MBL was competitive, and the C4 cleavage activity of the MBL-MASP-sMAP complex was restored by the addition of rMASP-2, whereas the addition of rsMAP attenuated the activity. Therefore, MASP-2 is essential for the activation of C4 and sMAP plays a regulatory role in the activation of the lectin pathway.

“…MBL may enhance inflammation-mediated tissue injury during postischemic reperfusion by complement activation (14)(15)(16). MBL has also been suggested to be a mediator in the pathogenesis of microvascular complications in type 1 diabetes (36) as well as graft survival after kidney transplantation (37).…”

“…Lack of functional alleles in some populations is associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular occlusion (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). However, experimental data and clinical observations suggest that MBL and the lectin pathway of complement may initiate the inflammatory reaction seen in relation to ischemia reperfusion injury (14)(15)(16). Moreover, subjects who are homozygous for the functional MBL2 genotype and have high serum levels of MBL have the highest rate of early restenosis after carotid eversion endarterectomy (17).…”

Objective. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have excess morbidity and mortality due to ischemic heart disease. It has been suggested that high serum levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and agalactosyl IgG (IgG-G0) are associated with increased inflammation in RA. MBL also enhances inflammationmediated tissue injury during postischemic reperfusion. This study was undertaken to examine whether these factors are associated with increased risk of ischemic heart disease in RA.Methods. MBL alleles were genotyped in 229 Danish patients with RA. In addition, serum levels of MBL and IgG-G0 were measured. Incidences of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, and death due to ischemic heart disease after the diagnosis of RA were assessed in a prospective study.Results. During a median followup of 9.5 years, ischemic heart disease was diagnosed in 8 of 27 patients with genetically determined high serum levels of MBL, as compared with 24 of the remaining 192 patients (data not available on 10 patients). After correction for other known risk factors, the hazard ratio (HR) was 3.6 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.4-9.2). The corrected HR for myocardial infarction was 9.0 (95% CI 2.2-36.4).High serum levels of MBL also conferred an increased risk of death due to ischemic heart disease (age-and sex-adjusted HR 10.5, 95% CI 2.7-41.3). However, further analyses showed that these associations were present only in patients with high serum levels of IgG-G0.Conclusion. Genetically determined high serum levels of MBL and high serum levels of IgG-G0 are associated with increased risk of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, and premature death in patients with RA.
