Adherent Neutrophils Mediate Permeability After Atelectasis

Abstract: Re-expansion of atelectatic lung is associated with increased permeability. This study tests whether neutrophils mediate this event. Right middle lobar atelectasis was induced in anesthesized rabbits (n = 18) by intraluminal obstruction of the bronchus after a 20-minute ventilation with 100% O2. After 1 hour of bronchial obstruction and 20 minutes after lobar re-expansion, leukopenia was noted, 2870 +/- 210 white blood cells (WBC)/mm3, relative to control animals treated with a noninflated balloon catheter, 65… Show more

“…This leads to an important possibility: increases in protein or PMNs in lavage fluid are not related causally to acute lung injury. This possibility implies that measures of protein or PMNs by bronchoalveolar lavage may have little value in predicting the survival time of patients with acute lung injury, a finding consistent with previous animal studies (12,13,24) and clinical observations (16,40,55).…”

“…Previously proposed mechanisms for the pathogenesis of RPE include changes in surfactant, accumulation of alveolar macrophages and neutrophils, mechanical stress, and production of ROS (10,24,26,30,31,33). That we found BOF-4272 to inhibit ROS production in LBO rats (Fig.…”

“…In addition, some evidence suggests changes in alveolar surfactant may contribute to RPE (26,31), and a number of investigators have reported that neutrophil accumulation in the lung induced by various chemokines (e.g., IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), chemical mediators, and adhesion molecules (24,30) plays a major role in RPE (33). Consistent with that idea, it is known that the interaction between adherent neutrophils and endothelial cells regulates lung permeability in RPE (10) and that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by neutrophils increase pulmonary endothelial permeability. On the other hand, using an animal RPE model Jackson et al (14) found that exogenous catalase does not prevent RPE, which eliminates extracellular hydrogen peroxide as an important contributor, but they did detect endogenous lung catalase activity and hydrogen peroxide release.…”

“…Reperfusion of the ischemic lower limb is associated with the generation of oxygen-free radicals, which can cause cell membrane damage and increased permeability [30,31]. In addition, these toxic oxygen metabolites activate inflammatory cascades, such as the arachidonic acid cascade, with the production of potent vasoactive and chemoattractant mediators (e.g., thromboxane A 2 and leukotriene B 4 [32,33]). These proinflammatory mediators have been implicated in causing remote lung injury following reperfusion of the acutely ischemic lower limb [30].…”
