ABSTRACT: Background
Mechanical ventilation and hyperoxia have the potential to independently promote lung injury and inflammation. Our purpose was to study both time- and dose-dependent effects of supplemental oxygen in an experimental model of mechanically ventilated mice.Methods
Healthy male C57Bl/6J mice, aged 9-10 weeks, were intraperitoneally anesthetized and randomly assigned to the mechanically ventilated group or the control group. In total, 100 mice were tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated for either 8 or 12 h after allocation to different settings for the applied fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2, 30, 50, or 90%) and tidal volumes (7.5 or 15 ml/kg). After euthanisation arterial blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALf) and tissues were collected for analyses.Results
Mechanical ventilation significantly increased the lung injury score (P?2, whereas IL-6 showed a decreasing trend (P for trend = 0.03) across FiO2 groups. KC, MIP-2, and sRAGE were similar between FiO2 groups. HMGB-1 was significantly higher in BALf of mechanically ventilated mice compared to controls and showed a gradual increase in expression with increasing FiO2. Cytokine and chemokine levels in BALf did not markedly differ between FiO2 groups after 8 h of ventilation. Differences between the tidal volume groups were small and did not appear to significantly interact with the oxygen levels.Conclusions
We demonstrated a severe vascular leakage and a pro-inflammatory pulmonary response in mechanically ventilated mice, which was enhanced by severe hyperoxia and longer duration of mechanical ventilation. Prolonged ventilation with high oxygen concentrations induced a time-dependent immune response characterized by elevated levels of neutrophils, cytokines, and chemokines in the pulmonary compartment.
