ABSTRACT: Lung contusion is a major risk factor for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1? is the primary transcription factor that is responsible for regulating the cellular response to changes in oxygen tension. We set to determine if hypoxia-inducible factor-1? plays a role in the pathogenesis of acute inflammatory response and injury in lung contusion. Nonlethal closed-chest unilateral lung contusion was induced in a hypoxia reporter mouse model and type 2 cell-specific hypoxia-inducible factor-1? conditional knockout mice. The mice were killed at 5-, 24-, 48-, and 72-hour time points, and the extent of systemic and tissue hypoxia was assessed. In addition, injury and inflammation were assessed by measuring bronchoalveolar lavage cells (flow cytometry and cytospin), albumin (permeability injury), and cytokines (inflammation). Isolated type 2 cells from the hypoxia-inducible factor-1? conditional knockout mice were isolated and evaluated for proinflammatory cytokines following lung contusion. Finally, the role of nuclear factor-?B and interleukin-1? as intermediates in this interaction was studied.
