چکیده

The effects of individual ELR+ CXC chemokines have been documented in experimental models of acid aspiration. However, aspiration lung injury would be influenced by the combined effects of these chemokines and other factors related to their function. Therefore, the role of the chemokine receptor CXCR2 was examined in lung injury induced by aspiration of acid and acid with gastric particulates. Anesthetized mice were given intratracheal injections of saline, acid solution, or acid containing gastric particles. Within 6 h, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid neutrophils and albumin increased relative to the severity of the insult. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR demonstrated striking increases in pulmonary expression of CXCR2 after aspiration. In CXCR2-deficient mice, neutrophil recruitment to airways was significantly reduced after aspiration of either acid or acid with particles. However, lung injury scores were unaffected in Ccr2-/- mice in the acid + particles group. Esterase-stained lung tissue demonstrated that focal aggregates of inflammatory cells contained neutrophils in the Ccr2-/- mice. These studies suggest CXCR2 and its ligands are dominant mediators of neutrophil recruitment to airways after aspiration. However, CXCR2-independent mechanisms recruit neutrophils into areas of cellular aggregation after aspiration of acidified gastric particulates.

Surfactant alterations in acute inflammatory lung injury from aspiration of acid and gastric particulates.

This study examines surfactant dysfunction in rats with inflammatory lung injury from intratracheal instillation of hydrochloric acid (ACID, pH 1.25), small nonacidified gastric particles (SNAP), or combined acid and small gastric particles (CASP). Rats given CASP had the most severe lung injury at 6, 24, and 48 h based on decreases in arterial oxygenation and increases in erythrocytes, total l...

Pulmonary Complications of Gastric Fluid and Bile Salts Aspiration, an Experimental Study in Rat

  Objective(s): Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is one of the most common digestive disorders that frequently lead to pulmonary complications due to gastric fluid aspiration. In the present experimental study, chronic aspiration of gastric fluid, its components and bile salts in rat lung was performed to find out the main factor(s) causing pulmonary complications of gastric fluid aspirat...

Low-dose carbon monoxide treatment attenuates early pulmonary neutrophil recruitment after acid aspiration.

Exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) has anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties that show promise in the treatment of numerous pulmonary diseases. However, the effectiveness of CO in acute pulmonary injury associated with direct lung insult has not been shown conclusively. The purpose of this study was to determine if exogenous CO would modulate the pulmonary inflammation and lung injury tha...

Acid and particulate-induced aspiration lung injury in mice: importance of MCP-1.

A model of aspiration lung injury was developed in WT C57BL/6 mice to exploit genetically modified animals on this background, i.e., MCP-1(-/-) mice. Mice were given intratracheal hydrochloric acid (ACID, pH 1.25), small nonacidified gastric particles (SNAP), or combined acid plus small gastric particles (CASP). As reported previously in rats, lung injury in WT mice was most severe for "two-hit...

The Effects of Female Sex Steroids on Gastric Secretory Responses of Rat Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Objective(s) Gastric ulceration is induced by various forms of stress like surgery, ischemia and trauma. The female sex has more resistance to stress and the gastrointestinal lesions happen fewer than male sex. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of estradiol and progesterone on the gastric acid and pepsin levels following traumatic brain injury (TBI) induction. Materials and M...
