Biochemical and morphologic changes in rabbit lung following endotracheal instillation of zymosan particles.

Abstract:

:In order to establish a model of lung disease in which the usefulness of potential antiinflammatory compounds can be evaluated, we have analyzed the biochemical and cellular responses of rabbits to zymosan deposition in their lungs. A suspension of zymosan particles was instilled into the lungs of rabbits using an intratracheal catheter. Because the influx of leukocytes and the transudation of plasma into affected lungs was expected to contribute to the total cellular enzyme and protein levels, lungs were homogenized and assayed after various time intervals for six cellular enzymes and for protein content. After one day, alkaline phosphatase and neutral protease levels were elevated by 90% and 50%, respectively, above normal values. After two and three days, all of the pulmonary enzymes assayed displayed maximal two- to fourfold increases in their levels of activity. After seven days, only the alkaline phosphatase and neutral protease levels remained slightly elevated by 50% and 30%, respectively. Histologic analysis revealed focal and diffuse intraalveolar, interstitial, peribronchiolar, and perivascular accumulations of macrophages, granulocytes, and lymphocytes. Severe pulmonary edema, evident microscopically after one to three days, correlated well with 100% increases in both the wet weight and protein content of the lungs. In control experiments, the intratracheal infusion of saline solution minus zymosan particles resulted in a variety of enzymatic changes in the lungs after three days, which could be distinguished both enzymatically and histologically from those following zymosan deposition; histopathologic analysis revealed a pattern of intravascular congestion with erythrocytes, edematous thickening of alveolar septa, and focal intraalveolar hemorrhages, but with no inflammatory infiltration. In summary, this study demonstrates the time course of an experimental model for acute and chronic lung inflammation, the extent of which may be quantitatively evaluated using cellular enzymatic markers.
