Perfluorocarbon protects lung epithelial cells from neutrophil-mediated injury in an in vitro model of liquid ventilation therapy

Abstract

Liquid ventilation with perfluorocarbon has been effective in improving gas exchange and pulmonary function in the setting of acute respiratory failure. How improvement is brought about remains unknown. In the present study, we examined perfluorocarbon for effects on neutrophil function and for effects on neutrophil-epithelial cell interactions that could underlie its in vivo activity. Exposure of neutrophils in vitro to perfluorocarbon followed by washing did not interfere with their ability to generate oxidants or release proteolytic enzymes upon subsequent stimulation. Likewise, such treatment did not interfere with subsequent adhesion of the neutrophils to monolayers of epithelial cells or with neutrophil-induced injury to these cells. In contrast, when perfluorocarbon was added to neutrophils and epithelial cells together and the neutrophils then stimulated, it reduced their adhesive interaction with the target cells and concomitantly reduced target cell injury. In companion studies, cells were obtained by bronchial lavage of perfluorocarbon-treated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and analyzed for oxidant production. Oxidant-generating capacity by the cells obtained from the bronchial lavage fluid ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
