Protein nanoparticle-induced osmotic pressure gradients modify pulmonary edema through hyperpermeability in acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), caused by noncardiogenic pulmonary edema (PE), contributes significantly to Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)-associated morbidity and mortality. We explored the effect of transmembrane osmotic pressure (OP) gradients in PE using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based Intermediate filament (IF) tension optical probe. Angiotensin-II- and bradykinin-induced increases in intracellular protein nanoparticle (PN)-OP were associated with inflammasome production and cytoskeletal depolymerization. Intracellular protein nanoparticle production also resulted in cytomembrane hyperpolarization and L-VGCC-induced calcium signals, which differed from diacylglycerol-induced calcium increment via TRPC6 activation. Both pathways involve voltage-dependent cation influx and OP upregulation via SUR1-TRPM4 channels. Meanwhile, intra/extracellular PN-induced OP gradients across membranes upregulated pulmonary endothelial and alveolar barrier permeability. Attenuation of intracellular PN, calcium signals, and cation influx by drug combinations effectively relieved intracellular OP and pulmonary endothelial nonselective permeability, and improved epithelial fluid absorption and PE. Thus, PN-OP is pivotal in pulmonary edema in ARDS and COVID-19, and transmembrane OP recovery could be used to treat pulmonary edema and develop new drug targets in pulmonary injury.

Project description:ImportanceMechanical power and driving pressure have known associations with survival for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.ObjectivesTo further understand the relative importance of mechanical power and driving pressure as clinical targets for ventilator management.DesignSecondary observational analysis of randomized clinical trial data.Setting and participantsPatients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome from three Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network trials.Main outcomes and measuresAfter adjusting for patient severity in a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, we examined the relative association of driving pressure and mechanical power with hospital mortality. Among 2,410 patients, the relationship between driving pressure and mechanical power with mortality was modified by respiratory rate, positive end-expiratory pressure, and flow.ResultsAmong patients with low respiratory rate (< 26), only power was significantly associated with mortality (power [hazard ratio, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.41-2.35; p < 0.001] vs driving pressure [hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.84-1.21; p = 0.95]), while among patients with high respiratory rate, neither was associated with mortality. Both power and driving pressure were associated with mortality at high airway flow (power [hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.15-1.43; p < 0.001] vs driving pressure [hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.01-1.30; p = 0.041]) and neither at low flow. At low positive end-expiratory pressure, neither was associated with mortality, whereas at high positive end-expiratory pressure (≥ 10 cm H2O), only power was significantly associated with mortality (power [hazard ratio, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.09-1.37; p < 0.001] vs driving pressure [hazard ratio, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.99-1.35; p = 0.059]).Conclusions and relevanceThe relationship between mechanical power and driving pressure with mortality differed within severity subgroups defined by positive end-expiratory pressure, respiratory rate, and airway flow.
