To evaluate the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in the pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury, we 1) measured TNF-alpha production in the lung caused by conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and 2) evaluated the protective effect of anti-TNF-alpha antibody (Ab) in saline-lavaged rabbit lungs. After they received saline lung lavage, rabbits were intratracheally instilled with 1 mg/kg of polyclonal anti-TNF-alpha Ab in the high-dose group (n = 6), 0.2 mg/kg of anti-TNF-alpha Ab in the low-dose group (n = 6), serum IgG fraction in the Ab control group (n = 6), and saline in the saline control group (n = 7). Animals then underwent CMV for 4 h. Levels of TNF-alpha in lung lavage fluid were significantly higher after CMV than before in both control groups. Pretreatment with intratracheal instillation of high and low doses of anti-TNF-alpha Ab improved oxygenation and respiratory compliance, reduced the infiltration of leukocytes, and ameliorated pathological findings. CMV led to TNF-alpha production in the lungs, and intratracheal instillation of anti-TNF-alpha Ab attenuated CMV-induced lung injury in this model.

MECHANICAL POSITIVE-PRESSURE ventilation can lead to the production or worsening of lung injury (18). Ventilator-induced lung injury has been implicated as a major cause of deterioration in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that leads to death or to chronic lung disease in survivors (15, 20, 21). The morbidity and mortality of acute respiratory failure remain high (9), and adverse effects from ventilator-induced lung injury remain a significant problem in the care of critically ill patients (20, 21). Research has focused primarily on the mechanical forces [i.e., high peak airway pressure (Paw) and large tidal volumes] that produce ventilator-induced lung injury (17). Several recent studies have noted an association between lung inflammatory response and the development of ventilator-induced lung injury. We found that conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV), as opposed to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), led to increased neutrophil infiltration and activation (13) and to increased lung lavage levels of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and thromboxane-A2 in a saline-lavaged rabbit lung model of ventilator-induced lung injury (10). In a recent study (24), CMV produced large increases in the intra-alveolar gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha ) when compared with HFOV in the same model. Injurious ventilatory strategies increased TNF-alpha mRNA expression and actual lung lavage levels of TNF-alpha protein in an isolated rat lung model (25).

The goal of the present study was to better understand the inflammatory aspects of the pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury and to evaluate the role of proinflammatory cytokines, especially TNF-alpha . The first objective of this study was to determine whether CMV would lead to the production of TNF-alpha protein in the lungs in a saline-lavaged rabbit lung model. Because the results of this study demonstrated significantly increased levels of TNF-alpha protein in the air spaces after CMV, the second objective was to determine whether pretreatment with intratracheal administration of anti-TNF-alpha antibody (Ab) would reduce the magnitude of the CMV-induced lung injury in the same model. The latter study was designed to measure the pathophysiological indexes of acute lung injury, gas exchange, lung compliance, and the number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in the lung lavage fluid and to compare the pathological findings in the lung at the end of the experiment.

The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Research Committee.

Animal Preparation

Adult male Japanese white rabbits (2.0-3.0 kg) were premedicated with an intramuscular injection of ketamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg). A venous line was established for fluid maintenance, and the animals were anesthetized by intravenous infusion of ketamine (8 mg/h), atropine sulfate (0.08 mg/h), and pancuronium bromide (0.3 mg/h) in 10 ml · kg-1 · h-1 of 5% dextrose in Ringer lactate solution during the following experiments. A tracheostomy was performed, and a 4.0-mm-ID endotracheal tube was inserted and fixed in place while the animal was manually ventilated at a fraction of inspired O2 (FIO2) of 1.0 for 3-4 min. Immediately after the tracheostomy was performed, the animal was placed on a piston-pump HFOV ventilator (Humming II; Senko Medical Instrument Manufacturers, Tokyo, Japan). We used HFOV for preparation and stabilization, as described later, because we and others have previously demonstrated that HFOV leads to a smaller magnitude of lung injury than CMV in this saline-lavaged rabbit lung model (6, 8, 11, 22). Sinusoidal volume changes were delivered at an FIO2 of 1.0, an oscillatory frequency of 15 Hz, and a mean Paw of 5 cmH2O. The stroke volume was adjusted to keep arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) levels between 35 and 45 Torr. Blood pressure and blood-gas analysis were measured through a fluid-filled catheter in the femoral artery. Arterial blood gases were intermittently measured by a pH/blood-gas analyzer (model 178; Corning, Medfield, MA). Systemic arterial blood pressure was continuously monitored by a pressure transducer (CDX-3; Cobe Laboratory, Lakewood, CO) and blood temperature was maintained between 37 and 39°C with a servo-controlled radiant heater and a heating pad. After the animal was stabilized, the rabbit lungs were lavaged with 30 ml/kg of warmed normal saline to remove lung surfactant. The solution was flushed in and out of the lungs five times, and the saline was gently sucked out at the end of each lavage. The above procedure was repeated three times, following the same protocol as Hamilton et al. (8). Mean Paw was raised by 5 cmH2O, and sustained inflation (SI) of 30 cmH2O for 15 s was performed to minimize hypoxemia before the next lung lavage. After this procedure was completed, mean Paw was set on 15 cmH2O and stabilized, PaCO2 levels were maintained between 30 and 50 Torr by adjustment of stroke volume, and the frequency was fixed at 15 Hz during HFOV. The arterial PO2 (PaO2 ) of the animal soon returned to the prelavage level, i.e., >350 Torr, after several SI maneuvers. The drained lavage fluid was collected as in the sample before CMV. The percentage of volume of lavage fluid recovered was 72 ± 8%.

Protocols

General procedures. The rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: an anti-TNF-alpha Ab high-dose group (n = 6), an anti-TNF-alpha Ab low-dose group (n = 6), an Ab control group (n = 6), and a saline control group (n = 7). Rabbits were instilled with 1 mg/kg of polyclonal anti-TNF-alpha Ab in the anti-TNF-alpha Ab high-dose group, 0.2 mg/kg of polyclonal anti-TNF-alpha Ab in the anti-TNF-alpha Ab low-dose group, 1 mg/kg of serum IgG fraction in the Ab control group for control of the irrelevant elements of polyclonal anti-TNF-alpha Ab, and saline (placebo) in the saline control group, through a 6-Fr feeding catheter that was gently passed through the tracheal tube until just beyond the tip of the endotracheal tube. Anti-TNF-alpha Abs in the high-dose, low-dose, and Ab control groups were dissolved in 10 ml of saline. The dissolved saline solution with Ab or 10 ml of saline by itself (placebo) were instilled into the lungs over 3 min. SI of 30 cmH2O for 15 s was performed two times after instillation to enhance the uniform delivery of the instilled dose to all lung fields. The animal was mechanically ventilated by HFOV at a mean Paw of 15 cmH2O and a FIO2 of 1.0 for 1 h for stabilization. After it was confirmed that the PaO2 of the animal was >350 Torr, the animals received CMV for 4 h at a FIO2 of 1.0. This procedure in rabbits, when the animals subsequently receive CMV for several hours, produces a progressive ventilator-induced lung injury characterized by diffuse microatelectasis, pulmonary edema, infiltration of neutrophils, and hyaline membrane formation (8, 10, 13, 25). CMV was performed with the CMV mode of Humming II (time-cycled in the pressure-limited ventilation mode). Peak inspiration pressure was 25 cmH2O, positive end-expiratory pressure was 5 cmH2O, mean Paw was 15 cmH2O, and FIO2 was 1.0. On the basis of our preliminary experiments, the tidal volume was estimated to be 12-15 ml/kg. Respiratory frequency was changed to maintain PaCO2 levels between 30 and 50 Torr. Peak inspiratory pressure, positive end-expiratory pressure, and mean Paw were monitored at the proximal end of the endotracheal tube with a pressure transducer. Arterial blood gases were measured every hour with a blood-gas analyzer. Total respiratory system compliance (Crs) was measured before lung lavage and after ventilation for 4 h. On termination of ventilation, total lung lavage was performed, as described above, and the lung lavage fluid was collected in the same way as the postventilation sample. The percentage of volume of lavage fluid recovered was 64 ± 12%. The animals were killed by KCl injection at the termination of the experiment.

Series 1 study: levels of rabbit TNF-alpha in the lung lavage fluid before and after ventilation in the control group. We measured the concentration of rabbit TNF-alpha before and after CMV for 4 h in the Ab control group (n = 6) and saline control group (n = 7).

Series 2 study: the effect of intratracheal instillation of anti-TNF-alpha Ab on lung injury with CMV. We compared arterial blood gas, Crs before lung lavage and after 4 h of CMV, numbers of PMN and macrophages in the lung lavage fluid sample after 4 h of CMV, and pathological findings in the lung at the end of the experiment in all four groups [anti-TNF-alpha Ab high-dose group (n = 6), anti-TNF-alpha Ab low-dose group (n = 6), Ab control group (n = 6), and saline control group (n = 7)] as measures of pathophysiology.

Measurement of TNF-alpha Ab Concentrations in Lung Lavage Fluid

TNF-alpha concentrations in lung lavage fluid were measured by using sandwich ELISA that was based on the cytokine ELISA protocol of PharMingen (San Diego, CA). These assays were performed by using a combination of purified polyclonal goat anti-rabbit TNF-alpha Ab as a capture Ab and biotinylated polyclonal goat anti-rabbit TNF-alpha Ab for detection. Standard material, which was used in the rabbit TNF-alpha conditioned medium (PharMingen), and obtained samples were run in duplicate. The limit of detection in this assay was 75 pg/ml, and linear standard curves were obtained that ranged from 75 to 15,000 pg/ml.

Generation of the Polyclonal Ab to TNF-alpha and Serum IgG Fractions for the Ab Control Group

Polyclonal anti-TNF-alpha Ab was produced by immunization of the rabbits with carrier-free human recombinant TNF-alpha (Tonen, Tokyo, Japan) that was affinity purified by using protein A Sepharose. As measured by the L-cell assay, 45 mg of the anti-TNF-alpha Ab preparation used in this study neutralized 2 mg of human TNF-alpha activity in vitro. Rabbit globulin fraction as a control Ab was prepared by using protein A Sepharose.

Measurement of Crs

We measured Crs with the passive expiratory flow-volume technique after 4 h of ventilation and before the lung lavage. Airway occlusion pressure was measured from an endotracheal tube by using a simple slide valve. Expiratory flow was measured with a Fleisch no. 0 pneumotachometer. There was a linear relationship between expiratory flow and its integral volume in all subjects. Crs was calculated by extrapolation of the linear function to zero flow and zero volume (12).

Counts of Cells, PMNs, and Macrophages in Lung Lavage Fluid

The number of total lavage cells was counted by a standard hemocytometer. Cells were differentiated by use of Wright-Giemsa-stained preparations, and the percentages of PMN and macrophages were shown.

Histopathologic Examination

Immediately after the rabbits were killed, the lungs were fixed with an instillation of 10% buffered Formalin at a transpulmonary pressure of 15 cmH2O. Midsagittal cross sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for postmortem microscopic examination. Lung injury was scored by a blinded observer on a five-point scale, according to combined assessments of alveolar congestion, hemorrhage, infiltration, aggregation of neutrophils in the air space or vessel walls, and thickness of the alveolar wall or hyaline membrane formation. The points on the scale were as follows: 0, minimal (little) damage; 1+, mild damage; 2+, moderate damage; 3+, severe damage; and 4+, maximal damage.

Data Analysis

Results are presented as means ± SD. We used a two-way ANOVA to determine the statistical significance of group differences in levels of TNF-alpha before and after ventilation, as well as the intergroup differences in blood-gas data at different time points, Crs, numbers of PMNs in final lavage fluid, and lung-injury score. A P value <0.05 was considered significant.

The first objective of this study was to determine whether CMV would induce the production of TNF-alpha protein in the lung in a saline-lavaged rabbit lung model. We previously confirmed that only 1 h of CMV produces large increases in TNF-alpha mRNA in intra-alveolar cells in the same model (24). We hypothesized that enhanced TNF-alpha gene expression at the transcriptional level, which occurred very shortly after the initiation of CMV, would lead to actual production of TNF-alpha protein in the lung. The results of the present study demonstrated that there was a great amount of TNF-alpha protein in the air spaces after 4 h of CMV. Actual production of TNF-alpha protein in the lung, caused by CMV, was confirmed in this saline-lavaged rabbit lung model. Increased TNF-alpha protein then initiates an inflammatory cascade in the lung. This results in production of lipid mediators, such as PAF or thromboxane A2, and neutrophil infiltration and activation in the alveolar space, as observed in our previous studies (10, 11, 13) and those of others (1, 23). TNF-alpha is known to be particularly important in lung injury because of the large reservoir of TNF-alpha -producing cells that are susceptible to extrinsic insults. Intra-alveolar macrophages are prime candidates for TNF-alpha production (19), as they have been shown to be capable of production a number of cytokines. There is some evidence from the literature that alveolar-type II cells also may play a pivotal role in cytokine networking within the lung, especially in production of TNF-alpha (17). Further studies are necessary to determine which cells generate TNF-alpha in the lung.

No significant differences were seen between the saline control and Ab control groups in regard to the levels of TNF-alpha and the pathophysiological indexes after 4 h of CMV. Serum IgG fraction, used as a globulin control, was seen to have no effect on TNF-alpha production in the lung and to have no effect on producing lung injury in this model. Therefore we could evaluate the effect of anti-TNF-alpha Ab, by itself, in the series 2 pretreatment study.

In the present study, pretreatment with intratracheal instillation of anti-TNF-alpha Ab improved both oxygenation and Crs and also attenuated the infiltration of PMNs in a dose-dependent fashion. This was expected, because neutralization of intra-alveolar TNF-alpha from the beginning of ventilation should attenuate TNF-alpha -related inflammatory processes in the lung. These, in turn, propagate a process that eventually leads to ventilator-induced lung injury. Neutralization of TNF-alpha reduced neutrophil influx into the air spaces of the lung. Several mechanisms may be operative in TNF-alpha -mediated neutrophil recruitment. A recent study (22) indicates that alveolar macrophages activated by TNF-alpha produce interleukin-8, which is a very potent and specific neutrophil chemotactic factor and is known to be associated with the development of acute lung injury by recruiting neutrophils (5). TNF-alpha reportedly triggers the production of PAF by several types of cells indigenous to the lung (4, 26). PAF exhibits potent neutrophil chemotactic activity (2). TNF-alpha also results in the expression of adhesion molecules, such as intracellular adhesion molecule-1, on endothelial cells, followed by transmigration of the neutrophils into the interstitial and intra-alveolar compartment (16). More significantly, it was the neutrophils recruited to the lung by TNF-alpha that were associated with ventilator-induced lung injury in this model (11, 13, 23).

TNF-alpha is a major proximal cytokine in the early phase of various inflammatory processes, with substantial effects and stimulation on many inflammatory cells and cytokines (27). The results of the present study, along with previous reports that clarify the role of neutrophils and chemical mediators, suggest that the inflammatory response is involved in ventilator-induced lung injury and that TNF-alpha plays a pivotal role in ventilator-induced lung injury in rabbits. Because TNF-alpha mRNA was generated in the air spaces in our previous study (24) and TNF-alpha concentration was high in that compartment in the present study, the route of intratracheal administration of anti-TNF-alpha Ab seems to be beneficial to reduce the magnitude of lung injury in this model. Intrapulmonary administration of the agents that inhibit inflammatory cytokines may thus provide a useful way to attenuate ventilator-induced lung injury.

However, as would be expected, given the complexity and redundancy of the stress and/or injury response, lung injury in this model was not completely abrogated. There was very little difference in the final compliances measured between the anti-TNF-alpha Ab low-dose group and saline or Ab controls, supporting the involvement of other factors (e.g., other cytokines, arachidonic acid derivatives, complement, reactive oxygen species, and other proteolytic enzymes or inflammatory cells) in the pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury. TNF-alpha is recognized clinically as the key cytokine that initiates and amplifies the process of sepsis and ARDS (3, 15, 27), and there have been some clinical trials of intravenous anti-TNF-alpha Ab in patients with septic shock (4, 6). This treatment does not seem to be clinically beneficial. Clinical studies in humans with septic shock showed that intravenous administration of anti-TNF-alpha Ab did not improve clinical outcomes or attenuate cytokine activation. This suggests additional involvement of other factors in the process of septic shock in critically ill patients.

Recently, the possibility has been proposed that mechanical ventilation used in ARDS serves to initiate and/or potentiate an inflammatory response in the lung, and this in turn propagates a vicious cycle of inflammation leading to tissue injury locally and possibly systemically (9, 15, 25). The compartmentalization of alveolar TNF-alpha was lost in the injured lung, and systemic release of TNF-alpha occurred in an isolated perfused rat model (26). Intrapulmonary administration of the agents that inhibit inflammatory cytokines may thus provide a useful way to attenuate ventilator-induced lung injury and may attenuate the development of a vicious cycle of systemic inflammation in ARDS patients.

In summary, CMV led to the production of TNF-alpha protein in the lung. Pretreatment with intratracheal administration of anti-TNF-alpha Ab attenuated ventilator (CMV)-induced lung injury in a saline-lavaged rabbit lung model.
