ABSTRACT
Background:
Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome of noncardiac pulmonary edema and inflammation leading to acute respiratory failure. We used the oleic acid infusion pig model of ARDS resembling human disease to explore cytokine changes in white blood cells (WBC) and plasma proteins, comparing baseline to ARDS values.Methods:
Nineteen juvenile female swine were included in the study. ARDS defined by a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 300 was induced by continuous oleic acid infusion. Arterial blood was drawn before and during oleic acid infusion, and when ARDS was established. Cytokine expression in WBC was analyzed by RT-qPCR and plasma protein expression by ELISA.Results:
The median concentration of IFN-γ mRNA was estimated to be 59% (p = 0.006) and of IL-6 to be 44.4% (p = 0.003) of the baseline amount. No significant changes were detected for TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-10 mRNA expression. In contrast, the concentrations of plasma IFN-γ and IL-6 were significantly higher (p = 0.004 and p = 0.048 resp.), and TNF-α was significantly lower (p = 0.006) at ARDS compared to baseline.Conclusions:
The change of proinflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-6 expression is different comparing mRNA and plasma proteins at oleic acid-induced ARDS compared to baseline. The migration of cells to the lung may be the cause for this discrepancy.Palavras-chave
