Abstract Background: Mechanical ventilation can induce or aggravate lung injury, which is termed ventilator‑induced lung injury. Piezo1 is a key element of the mechanotransduction process and can transduce mechanical signals into biological signals by mediating Ca2+ influx, which in turn regulates cytoskeletal remodeling and stress alterations. We hypothesized that it plays an important role in the occurrence of ventilator‑induced lung injury, and we investigated the underlying mechanisms. Methods: High tidal volume mechanical ventilation and high magnitude cyclic stretch were performed on Sprague Dawley rats, and A549 and human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, respectively, to establish ventilator‑induced lung injury models. Immunohistochemical staining, flow cytometry, histological examination, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blotting, quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR and survival curves were used to assess the effect of Piezo1 on induction of lung injury, as well as the signaling pathways involved.Results: We observed that Piezo1 expression increased in the lungs after high tidal volume mechanical ventilation and in cyclic stretch-treated cells. Mechanistically, we observed the enhanced expression of RhoA/ROCK1 in both cyclic stretch and Yoda1-treated cells, while the deficiency or inhibition of Piezo1 dramatically antagonized RhoA/ROCK1 expression. Furthermore, blockade of RhoA/ROCK1 signaling using an inhibitor did not affect Piezo1 expression. GSMTx4 was used to inhibit Piezo1, which alleviated ventilator‑induced lung injury-induced pathologic changes, water content and protein leakage in the lungs, and the induction of systemic inflammatory mediators, and improved the 7-day mortality rate in the model rats. Conclusions: These findings indicate that Piezo1 affects the development and progression of ventilator‑induced lung injury through promotion of RhoA/ROCK1 signaling.

Background Mechanical ventilation can induce organ injury associated with overwhelming inflammatory responses. Excessive activation of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase enzyme after massive DNA damage may aggravate inflammatory responses. Therefore, the authors hypothesized that the pharmacologic inhibition of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase by PJ-34 would attenuate ventilator-induced lung injury. Methods Anesthetized rats were subjected to intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide at a dose of 6 mg/kg. The animals were then randomly assigned to receive mechanical ventilation at either low tidal volume (6 ml/kg) with 5 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure or high tidal volume (15 ml/kg) with zero positive end-expiratory pressure, in the presence and absence of intravenous administration of PJ-34. Results The high-tidal-volume ventilation resulted in an increase in poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase activity in the lung. The treatment with PJ-34 maintained a greater oxygenation and a lower airway plateau pressure than the vehicle control group. This was associated with a decreased level of interleukin 6, active plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 in the lung, attenuated leukocyte lung transmigration, and reduced pulmonary edema and apoptosis. The administration of PJ-34 also decreased the systemic levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 6, and attenuated the degree of apoptosis in the kidney. Conclusion The pharmacologic inhibition of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase reduces ventilator-induced lung injury and protects kidney function.

Abstract Background Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a common complication in the treatment of respiratory diseases with high morbidity and mortality. ETS-domain containing protein (Elk1) and Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9 are involved in VILI, but the roles have not been fully elucidated. This study examined the mechanisms of the activation of MMP-9 and Elk1 regulating barrier function in VILI in vitro and in vivo. Methods For the in vitro study, Mouse lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) were pre-treated with Elk1 siRNA or MMP-9 siRNA for 48 h prior to cyclic stretch at 20% for 4 h. For the in vivo study, C57BL/6 mice were pre-treated with Elk1 siRNA or MMP-9 siRNA for 72 h prior to 4 h of mechanical ventilation. The expressions of Elk1, MMP-9, Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), E-cadherin, and occludin were measured by Western blotting. The intracellular distribution of E-cadherin and occludin was shown by immunofluorescence. The degree of pulmonary edema and lung injury were evaluated by Hematoxylin–eosin (HE) staining, lung injury scores, Wet/Dry (W/D) weight ratio, total cell counts, and Evans blue dye. Results 20% cyclic stretch and high tidal volume increases the expressions of Elk1, MMP-9, and TIMP-1, increases the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1, decreases the E-cadherin and occludin level. Elk1 siRNA or MMP-9 siRNA reverses the degradations of E-cadherin, occludin, and the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 caused by cyclic stretch. Elk1 siRNA decreases the MMP-9 level with or not 20% cyclic stretch and high tidal volume. Conclusions The results demonstrate mechanical stretch damages the tight junctions and aggravates the permeability in VILI, Elk1 plays an important role in affecting the tight junctions and permeability by regulating the balance of MMP-9 and TIMP-1, thus indicating the therapeutic potential of Elk1 to treat VILI.

Ventilator Induced Lung Injury

As one of the basic treatment modalities in the intensive care unit (ICU), mechanical ventilation can cause or aggravate acute lung injury or ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous polyunsaturated fatty acid derivative with strong anti-inflammatory action. In this study, we explored if RvD1 possesses a protective effect on VILI. Mice were ventilated with high tidal volume (40 mL/kg, HVT) for 4 h and were then intraperitoneally administered RvD1 at the beginning of high tidal volume ventilation and given GW9662 (a PPAR-γ antagonist) intraperitoneally 30 min before ventilation. RvD1 attenuated VILI, as evidenced by improved oxygenation and reduced histological injury, compared with HVT -induced lung injury. Similarly, it could ameliorate neutrophil accumulation and production of proinflammatory cytokines in lung tissue. In contrast, the protective effect of RvD1 on lung tissue could be reversed by GW9662. RvD1 mitigated VILI by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) and inhibiting nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways in mice. In conclusion, RvD1 could reduce the inflammatory response in VILI by activating PPAR-γ and inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathways.

Ventilator Induced Lung Injury

Sepsis is a leading cause of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, but the interaction between sepsis and ventilation is unclear. While prior studies demonstrated a priming role with endotoxin, actual septic animal models have yielded conflicting results regarding the role of preceding sepsis on development of subsequent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Using a rat cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis and subsequent injurious ventilation, we sought to determine if sepsis affects development of VILI. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subject to CLP or sham operation and, after 12 h, underwent injurious mechanical ventilation (tidal volume 30 ml/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure 0 cmH2O) for either 0, 60, or 120 min. Biochemical and physiological measurements, as well as computed tomography, were used to assess injury at 0, 60, and 120 min of ventilation. Before ventilation, CLP rats had higher levels of alveolar neutrophils and interleukin-1β. After 60 min of ventilation, CLP rats had worse injury as evidenced by increased alveolar inflammation, permeability, respiratory static compliance, edema, oxygenation, and computed tomography. By 120 min, CLP and sham rats had comparable levels of lung injury as assessed by many, but not all, of these metrics. CLP rats had an accelerated and worse loss of end-expiratory lung volume relative to sham, and consistently higher levels of alveolar interleukin-1β. Loss of aeration and progression of edema was more pronounced in dependent lung regions. We conclude that CLP initiated pulmonary inflammation in rats, and accelerated the development of subsequent VILI.

Abstract Background: High tidal ventilation with inflammation causes ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). We previously found that recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM) has a protective effect regarding non-septic VILI caused by high-tidal-volume (HV) ventilation with high oxygen levels. This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of rTM on VILI caused by sepsis and HV ventilation. Methods: A total of 46 adult male rats were subcutaneously administered either 3mg/kg of rTM or saline. Twelve hours later, the rats were underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). At 2 h after this procedure, the rats were placed on a ventilator set at either low tidal volume [(LV) 6 ml/kg] or high tidal volume (HV 35 ml/kg) ventilation for another 2 h. Results: After 2 h of mechanical ventilation, the PaO2 was significantly lower and BALF protein was significantly higher in HV rats than in LV rats. The rTM did not improve oxygenation or BALF protein levels. Also in HV rats, lung tissue interleukin-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 mRNA levels were significantly higher in the rTM-treated rats.Conclusion: rTM does not improve oxygenation in a non-DIC, CLP-pretreated, high-tidal-ventilation rat model.

Purpose. Onset of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is suggested to be a threshold-event. Data is lacking on the relation between titer of antibodies infused and onset of TRALI. We determined whether onset of TRALI is dependent on the titer of MHC-I antibodies infused in a combined model of ventilator-induced lung injury and antibody-induced TRALl.Methods. BALB/c mice were ventilated for five hours with low (7.5 ml/kg) or high (15 ml/kg) tidal volume. After three hours of MV, TRALI was induced by infusion of 0.5 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg or 4.5 mg/kg MHC-I antibodies. Control animals received vehicle. After five hours of MV, animals were sacrificed.Results. MV with high tidal volumes resulted in increased levels of all markers of lung injury compared to animals ventilated with low tidal MV. In ventilator-induced lung injury, infusion of 4.5 mg/kg of antibodies further increased pulmonary wet-to-dry ratio, pulmonary neutrophil influx and pulmonary KC levels, whereas infusion of lower dose of antibodies did not augment lung injury. In contrast, mice ventilated with low tidal volumes did not develop lung injury, irrespective of the dose of antibody used.Conclusions. In the presence of injurious MV, onset of TRALI depends on the titer of antibodies infused.

Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) has been shown to attenuate vascular constriction, hyperpermeability, inflammation, and acute lung injury. However, molecular mechanisms of PGI2 protective effects on pulmonary endothelial cells (EC) are not well understood. We tested a role of cAMP-activated Epac-Rap1 pathway in the barrier protective effects of PGI2 analog iloprost in the murine model of ventilator-induced lung injury. Mice were treated with iloprost (2 μg/kg) after onset of high tidal volume ventilation (30 ml/kg, 4 h). Bronchoalveolar lavage, histological analysis, and measurements of Evans blue accumulation were performed. In vitro, microvascular EC barrier function was assessed by morphological analysis of agonist-induced gap formation and monitoring of Rho pathway activation and EC permeability. Iloprost reduced bronchoalveolar lavage protein content, neutrophil accumulation, capillary filtration coefficient, and Evans blue albumin extravasation caused by high tidal volume ventilation. Small-interfering RNA-based Rap1 knockdown inhibited protective effects of iloprost. In vitro, iloprost increased barrier properties of lung microvascular endothelium and alleviated thrombin-induced EC barrier disruption. In line with in vivo results, Rap1 depletion attenuated protective effects of iloprost in the thrombin model of EC permeability. These data describe for the first time protective effects for Rap1-dependent signaling against ventilator-induced lung injury and pulmonary endothelial barrier dysfunction.

Calpain 2

Lung inflammatory responses in the absence of infection are considered to be one of primary mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury. Here, we determined the role of calpain in the pathogenesis of lung inflammation attributable to mechanical ventilation. Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to high (28 ml/kg) tidal volume ventilation for 2 h in the absence and presence of calpain inhibitor I (10 mg/kg). To address the isoform-specific functions of calpain 1 and calpain 2 during mechanical ventilation, we utilized a liposome-based delivery system to introduce small interfering RNAs targeting each isoform in pulmonary vasculature in vivo. Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volume induced rapid (within minutes) and persistent calpain activation and lung inflammation as evidenced by neutrophil recruitment, production of TNF-α and IL-6, pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability, and lung edema formation. Pharmaceutical calpain inhibition significantly attenuated these inflammatory responses caused by lung hyperinflation. Depletion of calpain 1 or calpain 2 had a protective effect against ventilator-induced lung inflammatory responses. Inhibition of calpain activity by means of siRNA silencing or pharmacological inhibition also reduced endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS-3)-mediated NO production and subsequent ICAM-1 phosphorylation following high tidal volume ventilation. These results suggest that calpain activation mediates early lung inflammation during ventilator-induced lung injury via NOS-3/NO-dependent ICAM-1 phosphorylation and neutrophil recruitment. Inhibition of calpain activation may therefore provide a novel and promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of ventilator-induced lung injury.
