Effects of heat pretreatment on histopathology, cytokine production, and surfactant in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury.
To determine the effect of heat stress on histopathology of acute lung injury (ALI) caused by administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to determine the roles of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, interferon (IFN)-gamma, IL-10 and surfactants in heat-induced tolerance to ALI, we administered either saline or LPS (3 mg/kg of body weight) intravenously to male Sprague-Dawley rats without and with heat pretreatment. Five hours after LPS or saline treatment (23 h after heat-pretreatment), samples were obtained. We found that the histopathologic features of LPS-induced ALI were attenuated by heat-pretreatment. Heat-pretreatment did not decrease the elevated plasma or BAL fluid levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IFN-gamma by LPS. The plasma level of IL-10 in LPS-treated rats with heat-pretreatment, however, was increased compared to that of LPS-treated rats without heat-pretreatment (P = 0.001). There were no differences in the BAL fluid concentrations of light or heavy density pulmonary surfactant phospholipids depending on heat-pretreatment in LPS-treated rats. These observations suggest that IL-10 might play a role in decreasing LPS-induced acute lung injury after heat-pretreatment.
