| Abstract | Nitric oxide produced by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) contributes importantly to acute lung injury (ALI), but the specific contribution of neutrophil iNOS has not been defined. Thus, we defined the role of neutrophils and specifically neutrophil iNOS in a murine model of septic ALI. Four hours after cecal ligation/perforation, ALI was characterized by increases in pulmonary neutrophil infiltration (tissue myeloperoxidase activity, bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophils), microvascular leak of Evans blue (EB) dye-labeled albumin, and oxidant stress (8-isoprostane levels). Septic ALI was neutrophil dependent, as pretreatment with anti-CD18 before cecal ligation/perforation significantly (P < 0.05) attenuated septic increases in pulmonary myeloperoxidase (39 ± 11 vs. 85 ± 14 mU/mg protein), bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophils (0.5% ± 0.2% vs. 2.1% ± 0.6%), microvascular EB-albumin leak (1.3 ± 0.3 vs. 2.6 ± 0.7 µg EB/g per minute), and 8-isoprostane content (74 ± 15 vs. 115 ± 16 pg/mg protein). The role of neutrophil iNOS was assessed by creation of neutrophil-iNOS chimeric mice: iNOS(+/+) versus iNOS(-/-) mice were bone marrow depleted by irradiation and selectively reconstituted with iNOS(+/+) versus iNOS(-/-) neutrophils. Cecal ligation/perforation resulted in significant septic ALI in + to - neutrophil-iNOS chimeric mice (iNOS(+/+) neutrophils in iNOS(-/-) mice), but not in - to + neutrophil depleted-reconstituted mice (iNOS(-/-) neutrophils in iNOS(+/+) mice). There were no significant differences between iNOS(+/+) and iNOS(-/-) neutrophils in phagocytosis, respiratory burst, or CD11a/b/CD18 surface expression, although septic shedding of CD62L was blunted in iNOS(-/-) neutrophils. Neutrophil iNOS contributes importantly to murine septic ALI in vivo, but not simply through a change in neutrophil phenotype. We speculate that neutrophil iNOS may modulate neutrophil-endothelial interactions in complex fashion, including regulation of transendothelial neutrophil migration and pulmonary neutrophil infiltration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
