Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced pulmonary vascular endothelial injury

Abstract: Tumor necrosis fattor a (TNF-a) mediates components of the acute-phase response, stimulates granulocyte metabolism, and induces endothelial cell surface changes. We studied whether human recombinant TNF-a (rTNF-a) could. increase pulmonary edema formation and pulmonary vascular permeability. Rabbits preinfused with '251-albumin were administered rTNF-a or saline. Animals were sacrificed, and lung wet/dry weight ratios as well as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and plasma 125I activities were determined. rTNF-a in… Show more

“…When released in the lung, TNFa exerts devastating effects causing rapid and diffuse tissue i n j~r y .~'~-'~ Some animal models of ARDS have provided evidence that TNFa can cause in pulmonary edema and transudation of plasma protein due to increased vascular permeability. 18,19 TNFa was elevated in rats with experimentally induced acute alveolitis and ARDS.m, 21 We confirmed in this study that the alveolar macrophages were major sources of not only TNFa, but also IL-lp.

“…A prime candidate as a mediator for this effect is TNF, which is released in to the circulation soon after LPS injection (Guo et al 2004). TNF is known to increase permeability of endothelial cells, although this is generally a delayed response (Goldblum et al 1989;Goldblum and Sun 1990). McKenzie and Ridley (2007) showed that the effect of TNF (10-100 ng/mL) on the permeability of HUVEC monolayers was significant 8 h after its addition, and peaked at 24 h. Here, we tested the effect of TNF on the permeability of human glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs) and mouse primary culture renal endothelial cells (REnCs), which are mainly a mixture of glomerular and peritubular endothelial cells (Wu et al 2009).…”

“…TNF can trigger endothelial cell activation and barrier dysfunction, which are both implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary edema 93 . In 1989, Goldblum et al observed that human recombinant TNF could provoke acute pulmonary vascular endothelial injury and increase pulmonary vascular permeability in vivo as well as in vitro 94 . In another study, TNF is shown to increase the permeability of endothelial cell monolayers to macromolecules and lower molecular weight solutes by a mechanism involving a pertussis toxin-sensitive regulatory G protein 95 .…”
