Effects of neutrophil-derived oxidants on intestinal permeability, electrolyte transport, and epithelial cell viability

Abstract: There are several pathophysiologic conditions in which intestinal inflammation is associated with enhanced mucosal permeability, fluid loss, and epithelial cell injury. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-derived oxidants on ileal mucosal permeability in vivo as well as electrolyte transport and epithelial cell viability in vitro. Using blood-to-lumen clearance of [51Cr]EDTA as a measure of mucosal permeability, we found that luminal perfusion with hydr… Show more

“…It is well known that during an inflammatory response hydrogen peroxide may be produced in sufficient quantities to overcome cellular defense mechanisms within localized areas, leading to tissue damage and amplification of leukocyte recruitment mechanisms. It is estimated that tissueresident neutrophils can generate local concentrations of 200-500 µM hydrogen peroxide within 60 min of stimulation [28]. Therefore, activated leukocytes can release superoxide radicals that are able to directly quench endogenous NO released by endothelial cells, a process known to result in endothelial dysfunction [22].…”

“…Grisham and co-workers have shown that chloramines in general, and monochloramine in particular, are extremely effective promoters of increased vascular permeability, electrolyte loss, and epithelial cell loss in the rat colon [17]. Among the various oxidants tested, HOCl and NH 2 Cl had the most potent toxic effects at physiologically realistic concentrations.…”

“…Grisham's research team has also described the toxic effects on colonic mucosa of several chloramines, particularly monochloramine produced from the nonenzymatic reaction of hypochlorous acid (produced by activated neutrophils) and ammonia (produced by gut flora) [17]. Hydrogen peroxide formation in proximity to chloride ions, abundant in intestinal secretions, and certain peroxidases, especially myeloperoxidase (MPO) secreted into the extracellular medium by activated leukocytes, result in the formation of the hypochlorous acid, HOCl [18], a potent oxidant that is the active ingredient in household bleach:…”

“…Although many inflammatory mediators secreted by these cells, including cytokines IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF- and leukotrienes together with luminal bacterial products such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and chemotactic peptide fMLP, have been implicated in the mucosal injury observed in IBD [3] , and the molecules that mediate tissue damage remain poorly understood [4][5][6][7] . Recent indirect evidence has, however, implicated reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) such as nitric oxide (NO), superoxide (O 2 -), peroxynitrite (ONOO -), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and hypochlorite (OCl -) in the pathogenesis of mucosal lesion [8][9][10][11] . Rheum tanguticum Maxim ex Balf is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine especially for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.…”
