Background: After cardiac arrest (CA) and cardio-cerebral resuscitation (CCR), enhanced glycolysis elevates toxic methylglyoxal (MG) that contributes to carbonyl-exacerbated oxidative stress, enzyme inactivation and death of neurons and astroglia. Post cardiac arrest cognitive deficits may be prevented by pyruvate infusions that boost glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) detoxification of MG and brain glutamate efflux via Nrf2-regulated Phase II gene expression. Purpose: To define pyruvate-induced cytoprotective mechanisms that curtail brain injury and cognitive deficit after cardiac arrest and resuscitation in pigs. Methods: Pigs were subjected to CA/CCR, infused with 4 mM pyruvate or NaCl control, then carotid artery and frontal cortical lysates were assayed for Nrf2/ARE binding activity and GLO1 activity, while plasma glutamate concentrations were measured. Results: Compared with saline controls, pyruvate infused pigs demonstrated increased Nrf2/ARE binding activity and 3-fold higher GLO1 activity supporting MG detoxification. Plasma glutamate concentrations were substantially reduced by pyruvate, which would support greater brain efflux of excitotoxic glutamate. Conclusions: Intravenous pyruvate induces Nrf2-regulated gene activation for augmented GLO1 biological activity via mechanisms that may lower glutamate-inflicted excitotoxicity and the heretofore untreatable cognitive deficits.

1. The effect of immaturity on the lungs and pulmonary function of newborn lambs was assessed by delivering and observing 13 animals of varying gestational ages. In lambs of approximately 125-129 days gestation changes closely resembling those of human respiratory distress syndrome developed without asphyxia. These changes consisted of retraction of the chest wall, poor gas exchange, grossly liver-like lungs, reduced pulmonary surface activity, and, on histological examination, severe atelectasis, alveolar necrosis, and hyaline membranes. 2. Similar changes were found in 4 of 6 lambs subjected to severe prenatal asphyxia lasting for up to 4 hours which were between approximately 130-136 days gestation but not in three of four comparable control animals. 3. Prolonged prenatal asphyxia was followed by changes suggesting respiratory distress in only 1 of 6 lambs above 136 days gestation. One further lamb at 140 days gestation, acutely asphyxiated to the point of cardiac arrest, developed severe changes. 4. It is postulated that the experimental disease and the syndrome seen in the human infant are produced by similar mechanisms, and that the influence of prematurity is more important than that of asphyxia.

Introduction: Hyperoxia can induce oxidative stress resulting in organ injuries after cardiac arrest (CA). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key to understanding its mechanism, however the augmentation of oxygen-sensitive ROS generation caused by CA ( Fig 1 ) has not been well described. Methods: Rats were assigned into: 1) sham with normoxia, 30% O2; 2) sham with hyperoxia, 100% O2; 3) CA with normoxia; and 4) CA with hyperoxia (n=15 for each group). CA was induced by 10-minute asphyxia and CPR was delivered. Neurological deficit score (NDS), histological lung injury score (LIS), survival time were obtained from the CA groups. Carbonyl protein as an oxidative stress indicator was measured at 2 hrs after resuscitation. H2O2 generation from isolated mitochondria were measured ex vivo at a normoxic and hyperoxic condition set up with nitrogen and air saturated medium. Results: Between the CA groups, the normoxia group had a higher 48hr-survival rate (77%), lower NDS (359±140), and lower LIS (4.3±2.9) compared to those (28%, 452±85, 14±2, respectively) of the hyperoxia group (p<0.01, p<0.05, and p<0.01, respectively). In the brain, lung, and kidney, CA augmented the hyperoxia-induced increase in carbonyl protein (absolute change: sham brain, 0.18 nmol/mg protein vs. CA brain, 0.61 nmol/mg protein; sham lung, 0.29 nmol/mg protein vs. CA lung, 0.72 nmol/mg protein; sham kidney, 0.04 nmol/mg protein vs. CA kidney, 0.55 nmol/mg protein, respectively). In the brain and kidney isolated mitochondria, CA augmented the hyperoxia-induced increase in H2O2 (absolute change: sham brain, 18 pmol/mg protein vs. CA brain, 60 pmol/mg protein; sham kidney, 16 pmol/mg protein vs. CA kidney, 45 pmol/mg protein, respectively). Conclusions: The normoxic therapy may attenuate organ damage and improve survival of CA. The reduction of augmented mitochondrial ROS generation, which is oxygen-sensitive, would be an important mechanism and therapeutic target of post-CA care.
