ABSTRACT
This study addressed the efficacy of a liposome-encapsulated nine amino acid peptide [peroxiredoxin 6 PLA2 inhibitory peptide-2 (PIP-2)] for the prevention or treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) +/- sepsis. PIP-2 inhibits the PLA2 activity of peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6), thereby preventing rac release and activation of NADPH oxidases (NOXes), types 1 and 2. Female Yorkshire pigs were infused intravenously with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + liposomes (untreated) or LPS + PIP-2 encapsulated in liposomes (treated). Pigs were mechanically ventilated and continuously monitored; they were euthanized after 8 h or earlier if preestablished humane endpoints were reached. Control pigs (mechanical ventilation, no LPS) were essentially unchanged over the 8 h study. LPS administration resulted in systemic inflammation with manifestations of clinical sepsis-like syndrome, decreased lung compliance, and a marked decrease in the arterial Po2 with vascular instability leading to early euthanasia of 50% of untreated animals. PIP-2 treatment significantly reduced the requirement for supportive vasopressors and the manifestations of lung injury so that only 25% of animals required early euthanasia. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from PIP-2-treated versus untreated pigs showed markedly lower levels of total protein, cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1ß), and myeloperoxidase. Thus, the porcine LPS-induced sepsis-like model was associated with moderate to severe lung pathophysiology compatible with ALI, whereas treatment with PIP-2 markedly decreased lung injury, cardiovascular instability, and early euthanasia. These results indicate that inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production via NOX1/2 has a beneficial effect in treating pigs with LPS-induced ALI plus or minus a sepsis-like syndrome, suggesting a potential role for PIP-2 in the treatment of ALI and/or sepsis in humans.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Currently available treatments that can alter lung inflammation have failed to significantly alter mortality of acute lung injury (ALI). Peroxiredoxin 6 PLA2 inhibitory peptide-2 (PIP-2) targets the liberation of reactive O2 species (ROS) that is associated with adverse cell signaling events, thereby decreasing the tissue oxidative injury that occurs early in the ALI syndrome. We propose that treatment with PIP-2 may be effective in preventing progression of early disease into its later stages with irreversible lung damage and relatively high mortality.
