Heme oxygenase modulates small intestine leukocyte adhesion following hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion by regulating the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1*
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Heme oxygenase is the rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation of heme into carbon monoxide, iron, and bilirubin. Recent evidence suggests that the induction of heme oxygenase-1 is associated with potent anti-inflammatory properties. The objectives of this study were to determine the temporal, regional, and cellular distribution of heme oxygenase-1 within the small intestine and its role in modulating remote intestinal leukocyte recruitment following trauma induced by hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion. DESIGN: Randomized, controlled, prospective animal study. SETTING: Hospital surgical research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Male C57BL/6 mice. INTERVENTIONS: Mice underwent 1 hr of bilateral hindlimb ischemia, followed by 3, 6, 12, or 24 hrs of reperfusion. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Heme oxygenase-1 messenger RNA, heme oxygenase-1 protein, and heme oxygenase activity were measured using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and spectrophotometric assay, respectively. The jejunum was also exteriorized to quantify the flux of rolling and adherent leukocytes and R-Phycoerythrin conjugated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibody fluorescence intensity in submucosal postcapillary venules with the use of intravital microscopy. Ischemia/reperfusion led to a significant increase in heme oxygenase-1 messenger RNA in the jejunum and ileum 3 hrs following limb reperfusion, with a subsequent increase in heme oxygenase-1 protein and heme oxygenase activity at 6 hrs. Ischemia/reperfusion also led to a significant 1.4-fold increase in leukocyte rolling, whereas inhibition of heme oxygenase via injection of tin protoporphyrin IX (20 micromol/kg intraperitoneally) resulted in a three-fold increase in leukocyte adhesion, compared with ischemia/reperfusion alone. This increase in adhesion was significantly reduced to baseline in mice treated with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibody before heme oxygenase inhibition (40 microg/mouse), whereas inhibition of heme oxygenase activity following ischemia/reperfusion also led to a significant increase in R-Phycoerythrin intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibody fluorescence intensity. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that remote trauma induced by hindlimb ischemia/reperfusion leads to an increase in heme oxygenase activity within the small intestine, which modulates intercellular adhesion molecule-1 dependent intestinal leukocyte adhesion.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
