INVITED REVIEW
Intravascular macrophage depletion attenuates endotoxin lung injury in anesthetized sheep

We recently showed that we can selectively and safely deplete most (average 85%) of the pulmonary intravascular macrophages in sheep by intravenously infusing liposomes containing dichloromethylene bisphosphonate. After a 1-h stable baseline, we made a 6-h comparison after a 30-min intravenous endotoxin infusion (1 µg/kg) between six anesthetized control lambs and six anesthetized lambs in which the intravascular macrophages had been depleted 24 h previously. Three of the control lambs had been macrophage depleted and allowed to recover their intravascular macrophage population for >= 2 wk. After depletion, both the early and late pulmonary arterial pressure rises were dramatically attenuated. Our main interest, however, was in the acute lung microvascular injury response. The early and late rises in lung lymph flow and the increase in lung lymph protein clearance (lymph flow × lymph-to-plasma protein concentration ratio) were >90% attenuated. We conclude the pulmonary intravascular macrophages are responsible for most of the endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension and increased lung microvascular leakiness in sheep, although the unavoidable injury of other intravascular macrophages by the depletion regime may also contribute something.
