Abstract Background Senicapoc is a potent and selective blocker of KCa3.1, a calcium-activated potassium channel of intermediate conductance. In the present study, we investigated whether there is a beneficial effect of senicapoc in a large animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The primary end point was the PaO2/FiO2 ratio. Methods ARDS was induced in female pigs (42–49 kg) by repeated lung lavages followed by injurious mechanical ventilation. Animals were then randomly assigned to vehicle (n = 9) or intravenous senicapoc (10 mg, n = 9) and received lung-protective ventilation for 6 h. Results Final senicapoc plasma concentrations were 67 ± 18 nM (n = 9). Senicapoc failed to change the primary endpoint PaO2/FiO2 ratio (senicapoc, 133 ± 23 mmHg; vehicle, 149 ± 68 mmHg). Lung compliance remained similar in the two groups. Senicapoc reduced the level of white blood cells and neutrophils, while the proinflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were unaltered 6 h after induction of the lung injury. Senicapoc-treatment reduced the level of neutrophils in the alveolar space but with no difference between groups in the cumulative lung injury score. Histological analysis of pulmonary hemorrhage indicated a positive effect of senicapoc on alveolar–capillary barrier function, but this was not supported by measurements of albumin content and total protein in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Conclusions In summary, senicapoc failed to improve the primary endpoint PaO2/FiO2 ratio, but reduced pulmonary hemorrhage and the influx of neutrophils into the lung. These findings open the perspective that blocking KCa3.1 channels is a potential treatment to reduce alveolar neutrophil accumulation and improve long-term outcome in ARDS.

A Prospective Study

Postoperative acute lung injury (ALI) contributes to the morbidity and mortality following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). To determine whether the presence of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is associated with ALI after CPB, MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were compared with parameters indicating impaired gas exchange. In a prospective study, 17 minipigs were subjected to CPB for 60 min. Before and at five and 180 min after CPB, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were assayed in BALF and the arterial-alveolar gradient of oxygen tension (AaDO2), the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and the water content of lung tissue samples (Wt) were evaluated and compared with baseline values. MMP-2 and MMP-9 increased significantly 5 minutes (2.1- and 6.2-fold, respectively) and 180 minutes (3.4- and 14.3-fold, respectively) post-CPB. AaDO2 and Wt, but not PCWP, increased significantly 180 minutes after CPB and only AaDO2, but not PCWP or Wt, was significantly correlated with MMP-2 (r/0.66, p/0.006) and MMP-9 (r/0.62, p/0.01). In conclusion, high levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the pulmonary compartment are associated with ALI after CPB.

In a previous study (Allen G, Lundblad LK, Parsons P, and Bates JH. J Appl Physiol 93: 1709-1715 , 2002), our laboratory used deep inflations (DI) in mice to show that recruitment of closed lung units can be a very transient phenomenon in lung injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate how this transience of lung recruitment depends on the nature and degree of acute lung injury. Mice were administered 50 μl of either saline ( n = 8), 0.01 M ( n = 9) or 0.025 M ( n = 8) hydrochloric acid, or 50 μg ( n = 10) or 150 μg ( n = 6) of LPS and were mechanically ventilated 24-48 h later. At various levels of positive end-expiratory pressure, two DIs were delivered, and forced oscillations were used to obtain a measure of lung stiffness ( H) periodically over 7 min. After LPS exposure, pressure-volume curve hysteresis and recovery in H after DI were no different from saline-exposed controls despite 500 times more neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Pressure-volume hysteresis and recovery in H were increased in acid-exposed mice ( P < 0.001) and were correlated with bronchoalveolar lavage fluid protein content ( R = 0.81). Positive end-expiratory pressure reduced recovery in H in all groups ( P < 0.01) but reduced pressure-volume hysteresis in the acid-injured groups only ( P < 0.001). We conclude that the effects of DIs in acute lung injury depend on the degree of lung injury but only to the extent that this injury reflects a disruption of the air-liquid interface.

Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1), binding to the human epidermal growth factor receptor HER2/HER3, plays a role in pulmonary epithelial cell proliferation and recovery from injury in vitro. We hypothesized that activation of HER2/HER3 by NRG-1 would also play a role in recovery from in vivo lung injury. We tested this hypothesis using bleomycin lung injury of transgenic mice incapable of signaling through HER2/HER3 due to lung-specific dominant-negative HER3 (DNHER3) expression. In animals expressing DNHER3, protein leak, cell infiltration, and NRG-1 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid increased after injury, similar to that in nontransgenic littermate control animals. However, HER2/HER3 was not activated, and DNHER3 animals displayed fewer lung morphological changes at 10 and 21 days after injury ( P = 0.01). In addition, they contained 51% less collagen in injured lungs ( P = 0.04). Transforming growth factor-β1 did not increase in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from DNHER3 mice compared with nontransgenic littermate mice ( P = 0.001), suggesting that a mechanism for the decreased fibrosis was lack of transforming growth factor-β1 induction in DNHER3 mice. Severe lung injury (0.08 units bleomycin) resulted in 80% mortality of nontransgenic mice, but only 35% mortality of DNHER3 transgenic mice ( P = 0.04). Thus inhibition of HER2/HER3 signaling protects against pulmonary fibrosis and improves survival.
