We hypothesized that the antibody neutralization of L-selectin would decrease the pulmonary abnormalities characteristic of burn and smoke inhalation injury. Three groups of sheep ( n = 18) were prepared and randomized: the LAM-(1–3) group ( n = 6) was injected intravenously with 1 mg/kg of leukocyte adhesion molecule (LAM)-(1-3) (mouse monoclonal antibody against L-selectin) 1 h after the injury, the control group ( n = 6) was not injured or treated, and the nontreatment group ( n = 6) was injured but not treated. All animals were mechanically ventilated during the 48-h experimental period. The ratio of arterial Po 2 to inspired O2 fraction decreased in the LAM-(1–3) and nontreatment groups. Lung lymph flow and pulmonary microvascular permeability were elevated after injury. This elevation was significantly reduced when LAM-(1–3) was administered 1 h after injury. Nitrate/nitrite (NO x ) amounts in plasma and lung lymph increased significantly after the combined injury. These changes were attenuated by posttreatment with LAM-(1–3). These results suggest that the changes in pulmonary transvascular fluid flux result from injury of lung endothelium by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. In conclusion, posttreatment with the antibody for L-selectin improved lung lymph flow and permeability index. L-selectin appears to be principally involved in the increased pulmonary transvascular fluid flux observed with burn/smoke insult. L-selectin may be a useful target in the treatment of acute lung injury after burn and smoke inhalation.

The effects of changes in transepithelial water flux (Jv) on sodium, chloride, calcium, and potassium transport by the proximal convoluted tubule were examined by applying a microperfusion technique to surface segments in kidneys of anesthetized rats. Perfusion solutions were prepared with ion concentrations similar to those in fluid normally present in the later parts of the proximal tubule. Osmolality of the perfusate was adjusted with mannitol. With no mannitol in the perfusates, net fluid absorption was observed. Addition of increasing amounts of mannitol first reduced Jv to zero and then reversed net fluid flux. At the maximal rates of fluid absorption, net absorption of Na, Cl, Ca, and K was observed. When Jv was reduced to zero, Na, Cl, and Ca absorption were reduced and K entered the lumen. Na, Cl, and Ca secretion occurred in association with the highest rates of net fluid secretion. The lumen-positive transepithelial potential progressively increased as the net fluid flux was reduced to zero and then reversed. The results demonstrate that changes in net water flux can affect Na, Cl, Ca, and K transport by the proximal convoluted tubule of the rat kidney. These changes in net ion fluxes are not entirely accounted for by changes in bulk-phase transepithelial electrochemical gradients.

Transvascular fluid flux was induced in six isolated blood-perfused canine lobes by increasing and decreasing hydrostatic inflow pressure (Pi). Fluid flux was followed against the change in concentration of an impermeable tracer (Blue Dextran) measured directly with a colorimetric device. The time course of fluid flux was biphasic with an initial fast transient followed by a slow phase. Hematocrit changes unrelated to fluid flux occurred due to the Fahraeus effect, and their contribution to the total color signal was subtracted to determine the rate of fast fluid flux (Qf). Qf was related to Pi to derive fast-phase conductance (Kf). Slow-phase Kf was calculated from the constant rate of change of lobe weight. For a mean change in Pi of 7 cmH2O, 40% of the color signal was due to fluid flux. Fast- and slow-phase Kf's were 0.86 +/- 0.15 and 0.27 +/- 0.05 ml X min-1. cmH2O–1 X 100 g dry wt-1. The fast-phase Kf is smaller than that reported for plasma-perfused lobes. Possible explanations discussed are the nature of the perfusate, the mechanical properties of the interstitium, and the slow rate of rise of the driving pressure at the filtration site on the basis of a distributed model of pulmonary vascular compliance.

We previously found that increased intravascular pressure decreased ischemic lung injury by a nitric oxide (NO)-dependent mechanism (Becker PM, Buchanan W, and Sylvester JT. J Appl Physiol 84: 803–808, 1998). To determine the role of cyclic nucleotides in this response, we measured the reflection coefficient for albumin (ςalb), fluid flux ( J˙), cGMP, and cAMP in ferret lungs subjected to either 45 min (“short”; n = 7) or 180 min (“long”) of ventilated ischemia. Long ischemic lungs had “low” (1–2 mmHg, n = 8) or “high” (7–8 mmHg, n = 6) vascular pressure. Other long low lungs were treated with the NO donor ( Z)-1-[ N-(3-ammoniopropyl)- N-( n-propyl)amino]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (PAPA-NONOate; 5 × 10−4 M, n = 6) or 8-bromo-cGMP (5 × 10−4 M, n = 6). Compared with short ischemia, long low ischemia decreased ςalb (0.23 ± 0.04 vs. 0.73 ± 0.08; P < 0.05) and increased J˙ (1.93 ± 0.26 vs. 0.58 ± 0.22 ml · min−1 · 100 g−1; P < 0.05). High pressure prevented these changes. Lung cGMP decreased by 66% in long compared with short ischemia. Lung cAMP did not change. PAPA-NONOate and 8-bromo-cGMP increased lung cGMP, but only 8-bromo-cGMP decreased permeability. These results suggest that ischemic vascular injury was, in part, mediated by a decrease in cGMP. Increased vascular pressure prevented injury by a cGMP-independent mechanism that could not be mimicked by administration of exogenous NO.

The experimental data on oxygen flux from arterioles in the hamster cheek pouch retractor muscle [L. Kuo and R. N. Pittman, Am. J. Physiol. 254 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 23): H331-H339, 1988] were analyzed under the assumption that the permeability to oxygen is the same in both perfused and unperfused tissue; permeability is defined as the product of the diffusion and solubility coefficients. However, our analysis indicated that the observed oxygen flux was inconsistent with this assumption and that permeability to oxygen of a blood-perfused tissue may be an order of magnitude higher than previously assumed.
