Neutrophils are normally delayed in transit through the lung microcirculation, relative to the passage of erythrocytes. This sequestration contributes to a pulmonary pool of neutrophils that may relate to the relative inability of neutrophils to deform compared with erythrocytes when in transit in the pulmonary capillaries. A micropore membrane was used to model the human pulmonary microcirculation, in which cell deformability was measured as the pressure developed during filtration of the cells through the membrane at a constant flow. We demonstrated a significant correlation between in vitro deformability and in vivo lung sequestration of indium-111-labeled neutrophils in 10 normal subjects (r = 0.69, P less than 0.02). In eight patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, this relationship was not significant (r = -0.2, P greater than 0.05). Furthermore, in a subject with microscopic pulmonary telangiectasia known to allow significant passage of 30-microns microspheres, neutrophils passed through the lungs without delay. Moreover, neutrophils from patients studied acutely with an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were temporarily less deformable (P less than 0.01). These studies confirm that cell deformability is an important determinant of the normal neutrophil sequestration within the lungs. Changes in cell deformability may alter the extent of this sequestration.
