Physiological effects of oxidized exogenous surfactant in vivo: effects of high tidal volume and surfactant protein A.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oxidative damage to surfactant can decrease lung function in vivo. In the current study, our two objectives were: 1) to examine whether the adverse effects of oxidized surfactant would be accentuated in animals exposed to high tidal volume ventilation, and 2) to test whether supplementation with surfactant protein A (SP-A) could improve the function of oxidized surfactant in vivo. The first objective was addressed by evaluating the response of surfactant-deficient rats administered normal or oxidized surfactant and then subjected to low tidal volume (6 ml/kg) or high tidal volume (12 ml/kg) mechanical ventilation. Under low tidal volume conditions, rats administered oxidized surfactant had impaired lung function, as determined by lung compliance and arterial blood gas analysis, compared with nonoxidized controls. Animals subjected to high tidal volume ventilation had impaired lung function compared with low tidal volume groups, regardless of the oxidative status of the surfactant. The second experiment demonstrated a significantly superior physiological response in surfactant-deficient rats receiving SP-A containing oxidized surfactant compared with oxidized surfactant. Lavage analysis at the end of the in vivo experimentation showed no differences in the recovery of oxidized surfactant compared with nonoxidized surfactant. We conclude that minimizing excessive lung stretch during mechanical ventilation is important in the context of exogenous surfactant supplementation and that SP-A has an important biophysical role in surfactant function in conditions of oxidative stress. Furthermore, the oxidative status of the surfactant does not appear to affect the alveolar metabolism of this material.

Alterations to surfactant precede physiological deterioration during high tidal volume ventilation.
Lung injury due to mechanical ventilation is associated with an impairment of endogenous surfactant. It is unknown whether this impairment is a consequence of or an active contributor to the development and progression of lung injury. To investigate this issue, the present study addressed three questions: Do alterations to surfactant precede physiological lung dysfunction during mechanical vent...
متن کاملThe effects of exogenous surfactant administration on ventilation-induced inflammation in mouse models of lung injury
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential supportive therapy for acute lung injury (ALI); however it can also contribute to systemic inflammation. Since pulmonary surfactant has anti-inflammatory properties, the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of exogenous surfactant administration on ventilation-induced systemic inflammation. METHODS Mice were randomized to receiv...
متن کاملEffects of surfactant distribution and ventilation strategies on efficacy of exogenous surfactant.
The effects of both surfactant distribution patterns and ventilation strategies utilized after surfactant administration were assessed in lung-injured adult rabbits. Animals received 50 mg/kg surfactant via intratracheal instillation in volumes of either 4 or 2 ml/kg. A subset of animals from each treatment group was euthanized for evaluation of the exogenous surfactant distribution. The remain...
متن کاملTidal volume effects on surfactant treatment responses with the initiation of ventilation in preterm lambs.
We hypothesized that initiation of ventilation in preterm lambs with high volumes would cause lung injury and decrease the subsequent response to surfactant treatment. Preterm lambs were randomized to ventilation for 30 min after birth with 5 ml/kg (VT5), 10 ml/kg (VT10), or 20 ml/kg (VT20) tidal volumes and then ventilated with approximately 10 ml/kg tidal volumes to achieve arterial PCO2 valu...
