OBJECTIVE: G protein-coupled receptors may up-regulate the inflammatory response elicited by ventilator-induced lung injury but also regulate cell survival via protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellular signal regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2). The G protein-sensitive phosphoinositide-3-kinase gamma (PI3Kgamma) regulates several cellular functions including inflammation and cell survival. We explored the role of PI3Kgamma on ventilator-induced lung injury. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, experimental study. SETTING: University animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Wild-type (PI3Kgamma), knock-out (PI3Kgamma ), and kinase-dead (PI3Kgamma) mice. INTERVENTIONS: Three ventilatory strategies (no stretch, low stretch, high stretch) were studied in an isolated, nonperfused model of acute lung injury (lung lavage) in PI3Kgamma, PI3Kgamma, and PI3Kgamma mice. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Reduction in lung compliance, hyaline membrane formation, and epithelial detachment with high stretch were more pronounced in PI3Kgamma than in PI3Kgamma and PI3Kgamma (p < .01). Inflammatory cytokines and IkBalpha phosphorylation with high stretch did not differ among PI3Kgamma, PI3Kgamma, and PI3Kgamma. Apoptotic index (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotin-dUTP nick-end labeling) and caspase-3 (immunohistochemistry) with high stretch were larger (p < .01) in PI3Kgamma and PI3Kgamma than in PI3Kgamma. Electron microscopy showed that high stretch caused apoptotic changes in alveolar cells of PI3Kgamma mice whereas PI3Kgamma mice showed necrosis. Phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2 with high stretch was more pronounced in PI3Kgamma than in PI3Kgamma and PI3Kgamma (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Silencing PI3Kgamma seems to attenuate functional and morphological consequences of ventilator-induced lung injury independently of inhibitory effects on cytokines release but through the enhancement of pulmonary apoptosis.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: G protein-coupled receptors may up-regulate the inflammatory response elicited by ventilator-induced lung injury but also regulate cell survival via protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellular signal regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2). The G protein-sensitive phosphoinositide-3-kinase gamma (PI3Kgamma) regulates several cellular functions including inflammation and cell survival. We explored the role of PI3Kgamma on ventilator-induced lung injury. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, experimental study. SETTING: University animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Wild-type (PI3Kgamma), knock-out (PI3Kgamma ), and kinase-dead (PI3Kgamma) mice. INTERVENTIONS: Three ventilatory strategies (no stretch, low stretch, high stretch) were studied in an isolated, nonperfused model of acute lung injury (lung lavage) in PI3Kgamma, PI3Kgamma, and PI3Kgamma mice. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Reduction in lung compliance, hyaline membrane formation, and epithelial detachment with high stretch were more pronounced in PI3Kgamma than in PI3Kgamma and PI3Kgamma (p < .01). Inflammatory cytokines and IkBalpha phosphorylation with high stretch did not differ among PI3Kgamma, PI3Kgamma, and PI3Kgamma. Apoptotic index (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotin-dUTP nick-end labeling) and caspase-3 (immunohistochemistry) with high stretch were larger (p < .01) in PI3Kgamma and PI3Kgamma than in PI3Kgamma. Electron microscopy showed that high stretch caused apoptotic changes in alveolar cells of PI3Kgamma mice whereas PI3Kgamma mice showed necrosis. Phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2 with high stretch was more pronounced in PI3Kgamma than in PI3Kgamma and PI3Kgamma (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Silencing PI3Kgamma seems to attenuate functional and morphological consequences of ventilator-induced lung injury independently of inhibitory effects on cytokines release but through the enhancement of pulmonary apoptosis.
