Abstract：
:Alveolar epithelial and endothelial cell death caused by mechanical over-distension is likely to contribute to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Consequently, the search for cytoprotective interventions is of interest. We investigated the effect of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin on human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC-L) viability in a model of high-amplitude mechanical stretch. Cyclic mechanical stretch (30% increase in membrane surface area, cycling frequency 40/min), employed for 24 h induced apoptosis in HMVEC-L. This effect was reduced by rapamycin treatment. Focusing on possible mechanisms of action we demonstrated that the stretch-induced reduction in the anti-apoptotic messenger pAkt could be restored by rapamycin treatment. Furthermore, we observed rapamycin-induced modifications in the HMVEC-L actin cytoskeleton architecture and global cellular f-actin content which functionally resulted in an increased global cellular mechanical stability - as indicated by an increased HMVEC-L osmomechanical resistance - thereby possibly desensitizing HMVEC-L to mechanical stimulation. According to the data from the present study, rapamycin represents a promising cytoprotective agent under mechanically challenging conditions such as mechanical ventilation.
