OBJECTIVE Hypothermia in humans and animals is known to decrease the number and function of circulating neutrophils. Because an activation of circulating neutrophils and their sequestration into the lung are important pathogenetic phenomena in endotoxin-associated lung injury, we conjectured that hypothermia could prevent this type of lung injury. METHODS Animal study at a university-affiliated research institute. METHODS Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats. METHODS After anesthesia, the rats were randomly assigned to normothermia (37 degrees C, rectal temperature) or hypothermia (27 degrees C), which was induced by surface cooling. After 1 h of stable temperature, the rats were administered intratracheal doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 3 mg/kg) (normothermia-LPS; hypothermia-LPS) or an equivalent volume of normal saline (normothermia-saline; hypothermia-saline). The rectal temperature was maintained within +/-1 degrees C of the target temperature for 6 h after the intratracheal treatment. RESULTS Compared with the normothermia-LPS group, the neutrophil count in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid (p=0.002) and the myeloperoxidase activity of lung tissues (p=0.002) of the hypothermia-LPS group were both lower. Compared with the normothermia-LPS group, the BAL interleukin-1beta level of the hypothermia-LPS group was lower (p<0.001), whereas the BAL interleukin-10 level of the hypothermia-LPS group was higher (p=0.026). Compared with the normothermia-LPS group, the histologic scores for acute lung injury of the hypothermia-LPS group were lower (p=0.007). CONCLUSIONS Hypothermia pretreatment decreased the pulmonary sequestration of neutrophils, induced a favorable balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and attenuated histologic injury in endotoxin-challenged rats.

D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
