Abstract

We have investigated the requirement of neutrophil emigration and the role for CD11b/CD18-mediated events in the experimental induction of acute lung injury. BALB/c mice received lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (3 mg/kg) intravenously (i.v.) 2 h prior to i.v. zymosan (10 mg/kg) and extravascular albumin accumulation was assessed after 30 min. Compared with saline-treated controls, zymosan alone caused a 6-fold increase in the accumulation of 125I-human serum albumin in whole lung tissue (P<0.05). Combined treatment with LPS and zymosan further increased extravascular albumin accumulation (P<0.05 compared with zymosan alone). The monoclonal antibody 5C6, directed against murine CD11b, was injected, 1 mg i.v. 15 min prior to LPS or 15 min before the zymosan, and compared with immunoglobulin G-injected controls. Albumin accumulation was significantly reduced by 5C6 when given prior to the LPS (P<0.01), but not when given before zymosan in the combined LPS and zymosan treatment. Interestingly, albumin accumulation induced by zymosan alone was not reduced by 5C6. The lungs of the mice treated with LPS and zymosan showed a marked, diffuse accumulation of inflammatory cells which, by light microscopy, appeared to be interstitial. Foci of neu...Continue Reading
