Hyperoxia inhibits stimulated superoxide release by rat alveolar macrophages

H. J. Forman, J. J. Williams, J. Nelson, R. P. Daniele and A. B. Fisher

Factors responsible for the loss of respiratory burst capacity (stimulated extracellular O2-. release) of alveolar macrophages (AM) exposed to prolonged hyperoxia were assessed. Specific pathogen-free rats were exposed to 1 ATA O2 for 24-72 h, and lungs of survivors lavaged. Release of O2-. by cells after addition of concanavalin A, which stimulated AM but not polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), or digitonin, which stimulated both cell types, was measured using cytochrome c reduction +/- superoxide dismutase. O2-. release by AM declined 47.2% (P less than 0.05) after 24 h of hyperoxia and 100% after 60 h. Percent PMN in the lavage was less than 3% at 0-36 h but increased to 16% at 48 h and to 44% at 72 h. Although addition of PMN to AM in vitro caused inhibition of AM O2-. release, the percent PMN required for inhibition was not reached in vivo until after a significant decline in AM O2-.-releasing capacity had already occurred. Cell-free lavage fluid from either control or hyperoxic rats did not affect AM O2-. release. AM in culture for 24 h in hyperoxia lost 76.7% (P less than 0.005) of O2-.-releasing capacity vs. cells incubated in 20% O2, although dye exclusion was unaffected. The results indicate that the major cause of loss of AM O2-. release by hyperoxia is a direct effect of O2 on the cells.
