Dissociation of Inflammatory Mediators and Function

Abstract: Mediator-but not functional-responses to high tidal volume are augmented by subthreshold sepsis priming. There is important discordance among systemic and pulmonary mediators, physiologic function, and response to corticosteroids; thus, mediator levels may be incomplete surrogates for measures of lung injury or response to therapy in the context of systemic sepsis.

“…above the definition threshold of ALI. Of note, we [ 8 , 51 ] and others [ 73 ] found a similar dissociation between significantly increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers in the lung and lacking effects on lung mechanics and gas exchange in mice after chest trauma [ 8 , 51 ] and poly-microbial sepsis [ 73 ]. Only few studies reported Horovitz-indices compatible with the definition of ALI (< 300 mmHg) in mechanically ventilated mice: animals were either ventilated with injurious tidal volumes (12–40 mL·kg -1 ) [ 74 78 ], or 24 hours after injection of endotoxin, i.e.…”

“…Others have used lower VT ventilation after CLP and did not observe worsening of lung injury [ 9 ]. Uematsu et al [ 17 ] noted that high VT ventilation (40 ml/kg) after CLP increased mediator release but did not affect pulmonary function. Yehya et al [ 18 ] showed that high VT (30 ml/kg) accelerated lung injury secondary to previous CLP in rats but the endpoints of injury (lung compliance, pulmonary edema, oxygenation and computed tomography of micro-CT scans) reached the same pathophysiology as from CLP alone.…”

“…Ventilating rodents after polymicrobial sepsis due to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) [ 13 – 15 ] has produced equivocal results regarding sensitization to VILI. Mechanical ventilation with injurious high VT (30–40 ml/kg) exacerbated 48 h of CLP-induced lung injury in rats [ 16 ]; shorter periods of CLP were not associated with subsequent exacerbation of VILI in mice [ 17 ] or rats [ 9 , 18 ] although such overall injury was accelerated in the latter. Lower VT (15–20 ml/kg) did not exacerbate CLP-induced ALI in intact rats [ 9 ] or isolated perfused rat lungs [ 19 ].…”

“…Low levels of TNF-α and IL-1β have been correlated with septic shock and increased risk of bacterial infections. [12][13][14][15] High levels of circulating IL-6 are commonly implicated in inflammatory diseases, tissue damage, uncontrolled activation of macrophage cells, and increased rate of infections. 12,13,16 These observations may provide insight to the fulminant action of Ab-acquired pneumonia in which the patient typically presents with bacteremia and septic shock leading to death.…”
