BACKGROUND/AIM: Leukocyte activation is thought to be a major step in sepsis-induced pulmonary edema. We attempted to confirm whether pulmonary edema can be reproduced under intravital microscopy in a model of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) using MHC class I-specific antibody.
The surface pulmonary microcirculation was observed using an epi-fluorescence microscope through a thoracic window in 50 male mice. Monoclonal MHC class I-specific antibody (Ab) was administered to the animals, while the control group received saline. The leukocytes and macro-molecular leakage in the pulmonary circulation were analyzed.
Leukocytes accumulated in the capillaries (52.5±12.7 leukocytes per designated area in Ab group vs. 20.8±3.1 in control). The air-containing alveolus area significantly shrank from 2,224.9±934.9 μm to 509.7±380.8 μm in the Ab group.
Pulmonary edema develops rapidly following leukocyte accumulation in the lung. We confirmed that leukocyte accumulation without an underlining condition is sufficient to induce pulmonary edema.
背景/目的:白细胞激活被认为是脓毒症引起肺水肿的主要步骤。我们试图通过 MHC Ⅰ类特异性抗体,在输血相关急性肺损伤(TRALI)模型中,通过活体显微镜来确认是否可以重现肺水肿。
通过胸腔窗在 50 只雄性小鼠中的荧光显微镜观察肺表面微循环。向动物给予单克隆 MHC Ⅰ类特异性抗体(Ab),而对照组则给予生理盐水。分析肺循环中的白细胞和大分子渗漏。
白细胞在毛细血管中积聚(Ab 组中每指定区域有 52.5±12.7 个白细胞,而对照组为 20.8±3.1)。Ab 组的含气肺泡面积从 2224.9±934.9μm显著缩小到 509.7±380.8μm。
在肺中白细胞积聚后,肺水肿迅速发展。我们证实,没有潜在条件的白细胞积聚足以诱导肺水肿。
