Alveolar hypoxia, alveolar macrophages, and systemic inflammation
Diseases featuring abnormally low alveolar PO2 are frequently accompanied by systemic effects. The common presence of an underlying inflammatory component suggests that inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of the systemic effects of alveolar hypoxia. While the role of alveolar macrophages in the immune and defense functions of the lung has been long known, recent evidence indicates t...
متن کاملAlveolar macrophages are necessary for the systemic inflammation of acute alveolar hypoxia.
Alveolar hypoxia (Fi(O(2)) 0.10) rapidly produces inflammation in the microcirculation of skeletal muscle, brain, and mesentery of rats. Dissociation between tissue Po(2) values and inflammation, plus the observation that plasma from hypoxic rats activates mast cells and elicits inflammation in normoxic tissues, suggest that the response to hypoxia is initiated when mast cells are activated by ...
متن کاملRole of the renin-angiotensin system in the systemic microvascular inflammation of alveolar hypoxia.
Alveolar hypoxia (AH) induces widespread systemic inflammation. Previous studies have shown dissociation between microvascular Po(2) and inflammation. Furthermore, plasma from AH rats (PAHR) induces mast cell (MC) activation, inflammation, and vasoconstriction in normoxic cremasters, while plasma from normoxic rats does not produce these responses. These results suggest that inflammation of AH ...
متن کاملDexamethasone blocks the systemic inflammation of alveolar hypoxia at several sites in the inflammatory cascade.
Alveolar hypoxia produces a rapid and widespread systemic inflammation in rats. The inflammation is initiated by the release into the circulation of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) from alveolar macrophages (AMO) activated by the low alveolar Po(2). Circulating MCP-1 induces mast cell (MC) degranulation with renin release and activation of the local renin-angiotensin system, leading ...
متن کاملThe effects of local and systemic Atorvastatin on inflammation and alveolar bone loss in experimental periodontitis in rats
Objectives The frst cause of tooth loss in developed countries is periodontitis and mostly occurs in people over 40 years old.Atorvastatin is a statin drug class, which has a revolutionary impact on the treatment of high cholesterol and also stimulates bone morphogenic protein which has osteogenic potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of local and systemic Atorvastatin in...
