Intravenous Injection of Trauma-Hemorrhagic Shock Mesenteric Lymph Causes Lung Injury That Is Dependent Upon Activation of the Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Pathway

Abstract: These results indicate that T/HS lymph is sufficient to induce acute lung injury and that lymph-induced lung injury occurs via an iNOS-dependent pathway.

“…The results from our study show that melatonin preserved the intestinal epithelial and mucosal architecture and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration in the small intestine after HS. Among the organs damaged by HS, the lung is especially vulnerable to neutrophil accumulation, which can result in acute respiratory distress syndrome [18,19]. Treatment with melatonin significantly reduces lung injury induced by bleomycin in mice [20].…”

“…Separate aliquots of lymph were collected prior to the induction of T/HS, during the 90 minute shock (sham-shock) period as well as during the first 3 hours after the end of the shock or sham-shock period (post-shock lymph). This 3 hour post-shock lymph collection period was based on our previous studies documenting that the in vivo biologic activity of T/HS lymph is maximal during the first 3 hour post-shock period and is relatively rapidly lost thereafter (15). After the lymph was collected, it was processed, aliquoted and stored at −80°C until tested.…”

“…Once in the circulation, these factors would come into contact with circulating RBC and other blood components. This hypothesis is based on our previous studies in this T/HS model indicating that factors released from the stressed gut and carried in the intestinal lymph to the systemic circulation initiate a systemic response resulting in acute lung injury, neutrophil activation, bone marrow dysfunction, and impaired RBC deformability (7,16). This hypothesis was first tested by determining whether ligation of the main lymphatic duct exiting the gut would prevent T/HS-induced increases in RBC adhesion to the endothelium and/or CD36 expression, since lymph duct ligation (LDL) prevents intestinal lymph from reaching the systemic circulation.…”
