In order to explore the potential mechanism that animals with cardiopulmonary diseases were more susceptible than healthy animals, the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) as a model of human cardiovascular disease were used. SHR and wistar kyoto rats (WKY) were exposed by intratracheal instillation to fine particles with the doses of 0.0 (saline), 1.6, 8.0 and 40.0mg/kg body weight, respectively. The exposure was done once a day, for three continuous days. The rats were killed after 24h following the last exposure, followed by analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) to estimate the lung injury. Meantime, parameters of oxidative stress, cytokines and cell surface receptors related to inflammation and anti-inflammation were also measured. The results showed that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, percentages of neutrophils and lymphocytes, and expression of TBA-reactive substances and cytokines (IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, MIP-2, OPN, NF-kappaB, CC16 and HO-1) and cell surface receptors (CD44 and TLR-4) were increased in rats, but percentage of macrophages decreased. Meanwhile, at the same dose exposed, the levels of those parameters were higher in SHR than that in WKY rats. The results indicated that inflammation might be one of the mechanisms of lung injury induced by fine particles. Results of comparisons of different response to fine particles between SHR and WKY rats suggested that lung injury induced by fine particles was greater in SHR than that in WKY rats.
