    Abstract Oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) is an animal model for retinopathy of prematurity, which is a leading cause of blindness in children. Thioredoxin-1 (TRX) is a small redox protein that has cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties in response to oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of TRX on OIR in newborn mice. From postnatal day 7, C57BL/6 wild type (WT) and TRX transgenic (TRX-Tg) mice were exposed to either 21% or 75% oxygen for 5 days. Avascular and neovascular regions of the retinas were investigated using fluorescence immunostaining. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran and Hoechst staining were used to measure retinal vascular leakage. mRNA expression levels of proinflammatory and angiogenic factors were analyzed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Retinal histological changes were detected using immunohistochemistry. In room air, the WT mice developed well-organized retinas. In contrast, exposing WT newborn mice to hyperoxia hampered retinal development, increasing the retinal avascular and neovascular areas. After hyperoxia exposure, TRX-Tg mice had enhanced retinal avascularization compared with WT mice. TRX-Tg mice had lower retinal neovascularization and retinal permeability during recovery from hyperoxia compared with WT mice. In the early stages after hyperoxia exposure, VEGF-A and CXCL-2 expression levels decreased, while IL-6 expression levels increased in WT newborn mice. Conversely, no differences in gene expressions were observed in the TRX-Tg mouse retina. IGF-1 and Angpt1 levels did not decrease during recovery from hyperoxia in TRX-Tg newborn mice. As a result, overexpression of TRX improves OIR in newborn mice by modulating proinflammatory and angiogenic factors.

    Abstract Background: Intrauterine inflammation affects fetal lung development. BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1) is a transcriptional repressor of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) genes. We investigated the role of Bach1 in the development of fetal mouse lungs exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) using a whole fetal lung tissue culture system.
    Methods: We isolated and cultured embryonic day 12.5 fetal mouse lungs from pregnant Bach1 knockout (
    Results: Branching morphogenesis was observed in Bach1
    Conclusion: The ablation of Bach1 suppresses airway branching morphogenesis after LPS exposure by increased basal expression levels of HO-1.

    Abstract Objective: Neonatal lungs are more tolerant to hyperoxic injury than are adult lungs. This study investigated differences in the response to hyperoxic exposure between neonatal and adult mouse lungs using metabolomics analysis with capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE- TOFMS).
    Methods: Neonatal and adult mice were exposed to 21% or 95% O2 for four days. Subsequently, lung tissue samples were collected and analyzed by CE-TOFMS. Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme activity was determined using a microplate assay kit. PDH kinase (Pdk) 1, Pdk2, Pdk3, and Pdk4 mRNA expression levels were determined using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Pdk4 protein expression was quantified by Western blotting and Pdk4 protein localization was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.
    Results: Levels of 3-phosphoglyceric acid, 2-phosphoglyceric acid, phosphoenolpyruvic acid, and lactic acid were significantly elevated in the lungs of hyperoxia-exposed versus normoxia-exposed adult mice, whereas no significant differences were observed with hyperoxia exposure in neonatal mice. PDH activity was reduced in the lungs of adult mice only. Pdk4 mRNA expression levels after hyperoxic exposure were significantly elevated in adult mice compared with that in neonatal mice. Conversely, gene expression levels of Pdk1, Pdk2, and Pdk3 did not differ after hyperoxic exposure in either neonatal or adult mice. Pdk4 protein levels were also significantly increased in adult mouse lungs exposed to hyperoxia and were localized mainly to the epithelium of terminal bronchiole.
    Conclusions: Specific metabolites associated with glycolysis and gluconeogenesis were altered after hyperoxia exposure in the lungs of adult mice, but not in neonates, which was likely a result of reduced PDH activity due to Pdk4 mRNA upregulation under hyperoxia.

    Abstract To determine the relationship of the development of dementia to longitudinal changes in brain CT scans in patients with Down's syndrome (DS), we studied 14 Japanese DS patients at an interval of 10 years. The age at entry to the study was 35.7 +/- 9.9 (mean +/- SD) years in 1989 when we did the first CT scans. We performed the second CT scans in 1999 and quantitatively compared them with those taken in 1989. The 4 oldest of the patients (the demented group, 55.3 +/- 1.4 years of age in 1999) developed symptoms of cognitive decline before 1999. The younger 10 (the non-demented group, 41.9 +/- 9.0 years of age in 1999) remained stable in cognitive function until 1999. Despite the clear difference between the demented and the non-demented group in brain atrophy in 1999, CT measures of the demented group were similar to those of the non-demented group in 1989. These results indicate that age is a better predictor of dementia than imaging studies and that CT does not show a quantitative difference between the demented and the non-demented group before the onset of dementia.

    Abstract To determine the relationship of the development of dementia to longitudinal changes in brain CT scans in patients with Down’s syndrome (DS), we studied 14 Japanese DS patients at an interval of 10 years. The age at entry to the study was 35.7 ± 9.9 (mean ± SD) years in 1989 when we did the first CT scans. We performed the second CT scans in 1999 and quantitatively compared them with those taken in 1989. The 4 oldest of the patients (the demented group, 55.3 ± 1.4 years of age in 1999) developed symptoms of cognitive decline before 1999. The younger 10 (the non-demented group, 41.9 ± 9.0 years of age in 1999) remained stable in cognitive function until 1999.
