PG - L826-31 AB - The chemokines interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) are neutrophil and monocyte attractants, respectively. We hypothesized that IL-8 and MCP-1 mRNA expression in alveolar macrophages (AM) lavaged from rabbit lung would be increased by oxygen exposure, which is known to induce inflammation. Adult rabbits were exposed to > 95% oxygen for up to 64 h and allowed to recover in room air for up to 72 h before killing and pulmonary lavage. Numbers of lavageable polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) and AM rose during the exposure protocol. Quantitative in situ hybridization with 3H-labeled cRNA probes showed both IL-8 and MCP-1 mRNA expression in AM during oxygen exposure, with peak levels of IL-8 mRNA at 56-h oxygen exposure and of MCP-1 mRNA at 64-h oxygen exposure with 24-h room air recovery. IL-8 mRNA was present in PMN between 48-h oxygen exposure and 64-h oxygen exposure with 24-h room air recovery. MCP-1 mRNA was not expressed in PMN. This pattern of chemokine mRNA expression emphasizes the importance of inflammatory cells as effectors in the pulmonary response to oxygen exposure.
