A study of the behavior of plasma fibronectin during a radiation-induced inflammatory lung reaction was carried out. Rats were exposed to a single homogenous thoracic irradiation of 15 Gy from a 60Co gamma source. Perchlorosoluble glycoproteins were determined (as sialic acid) as well as plasma fibronectin at 2, 8, 27, 60 and 120 days after irradiation. A parallel increase of the perchlorosoluble glycoproteins and plasma fibronectin was found. Morphological and histological studies of the irradiated lungs showed a predominating endothelial cell injury in the lung microcapillaries. The parallel increase of plasma fibronectin and perchlorosoluble serum glycoproteins suggests that plasma fibronectin can be considered as an acute phase reactant. Its early increase may be the result of the inflammatory reaction and endothelial injury induced by the radiation.
