The effect of leukocyte depletion on acute lung injury produced by intravenous or intratracheal phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) administration was studied in isolated perfused rat lungs. Vascular endothelial permeability was assessed by use of the capillary filtration coefficient (Kf,c). A predicted pulmonary capillary pressure (Ppc,p) was calculated from measurements of postcapillary resistances. These parameters were measured before and 90 min after the administration of PMA, either intratracheally or intravascularly. When blood elements were present both intratracheal and intravascular PMA caused an increased Kf,c [0.27 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.99 +/- 0.22 and 0.25 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.64 +/- 0.15 (SE) ml.min-1.cmH2O-1.100 g-1, respectively; P less than 0.05] and an increased Ppc,p (8.3 +/- 0.4 vs. 74.7 +/- 18.3 and 8.7 +/- 0.8 vs. 74.2 +/- 25.1 cmH2O, respectively; P less than 0.05). Removal of circulating leukocytes abolished the increased Kf,c when PMA was given intratracheally (0.35 +/- 0.06 vs. 0.23 +/- 0.07 ml.min-1.cmH2O-1.100 g-1) or intravascularly (0.39 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.33 +/- 0.07 ml.min-1.cmH2O-1.100 g-1). In the absence of neutrophils, Ppc,p slightly increased with intratracheal PMA, from 6.9 +/- 0.5 to 10.5 +/- 1.1 cmH2O (P less than 0.05), but was unchanged at 90 min with intravascular PMA. Depletion of circulating neutrophils with an antineutrophil serum failed to block the Kf,c change with intratracheal PMA (from 0.24 +/- 0.03 to 0.42 +/- 0.09 ml.min-1.cmH2O-1.100 g-1; P less than 0.05). Ppc,p also increased from 6.9 +/- 0.6 to 19.8 +/- 6.7 cmH2O (P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
