Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 released from alveolar macrophages mediates the systemic inflammation of acute alveolar hypoxia.


ABSTRACT: Alveolar hypoxia produces rapid systemic inflammation in rats. Several lines of evidence suggest that the inflammation is not initiated by low systemic tissue partial pressure of oxygen (Po(2)) but by a mediator released into the circulation by hypoxic alveolar macrophages. The mediator activates tissue mast cells to initiate inflammation. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (MCP-1/CCL2) is rapidly released by hypoxic alveolar macrophages. This study investigated whether MCP-1 is the mediator of the systemic inflammation of alveolar hypoxia. Experiments in rats and in alveolar macrophages and peritoneal mast cells led to several results. (1) Alveolar hypoxia (10% O(2) breathing, 60 minutes) produced a rapid (5-minute) increase in plasma MCP-1 concentrations in conscious intact rats but not in alveolar macrophage-depleted rats. (2) Degranulation occurred when mast cells were immersed in the plasma of hypoxic intact rats but not in the plasma of alveolar macrophage-depleted rats. (3) MCP-1 added to normoxic rat plasma and the supernatant of normoxic alveolar macrophages produced a concentration-dependent degranulation of immersed mast cells. (4) MCP-1 applied to the mesentery of normoxic intact rats replicated the inflammation of alveolar hypoxia. (5) The CCR2b receptor antagonist RS-102895 prevented the mesenteric inflammation of alveolar hypoxia in intact rats. Additional data suggest that a cofactor constitutively generated in alveolar macrophages and present in normoxic body fluids is necessary for MCP-1 to activate mast cells at biologically relevant concentrations. We conclude that alveolar macrophage-borne MCP-1 is a key agent in the initiation of the systemic inflammation of alveolar hypoxia.
