“…In agreement with others [66,[78][79][80][81], we have found an increased BAL:plasma ratio for all measured cytokines [49,50]. Increased BAL levels indicate increased intrapulmonary production and not leakage into the lung from increased vascular permeability [79].…”

“…Alveolar space IL-8 concentrations were substantially higher than circulating IL-8 levels, which is in accordance with predominant local generation of this cytokine. The data on BAL IL-8 support previous studies demonstrating consistently increased lavage IL-8 concentrations in ARDS patients [3,4,39], and in patients at risk for this disease [2]. This inflammatory cytokine allowed a clear separation of ARDS/PN from cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, in which only moderately elevated levels were noted; previous data for the latter group are not known to the authors.…”

“…As anticipated from the previously described features of IL-8, elevations of serum concentrations of this cytokine were less marked than the rise in the levels in the alveolar space in all groups of patients [1,4]. This finding does not refute the hypothesis that under conditions of a predominance of sepsis and septic shock, substantial IL-8 concentrations may appear in the vascular compartment [5,7,42].…”

“…IL-8, a cytokine produced by many cell types, including endothelial cells, fibroblasts, respiratory epithelial cells, macrophages, and PMNs, is a potent chemoattractant for PMNs and binds to a subfamily of related G-protein-coupled receptors (17). It is found in high concentrations in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of ARDS patients and in the circulation during clinical and experimental human sepsis (18,19). In PMNs, IL-8 also increases surface expression of adhesion molecules, transendothelial migration, degranulation, and superoxide anion formation (17).…”
