We hypothesized that alterations in lung vitamin E levels would impact the development of acute oxidative lung injury. We found that dietary induced deficiency of vitamin E diminished lung tissue levels of vitamin E and increased lung leak following intratracheal administration of interleukin-1 (IL-1) to rats. Conversely, rats administered vitamin E directly to the lungs as an inhaled aerosol (0.3-3 microns particles) formed by supercritical fluid aerosolization (SFA) had increased lung tissue vitamin E levels and decreased IL-1 induced lung leak compared to control rats. Lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities, reflecting neutrophil concentrations, were increased in rats given IL-1 intratracheally compared to rats given saline intratracheally but were not different for control or vitamin E depleted rats. Lung MPO activities in rats given IL-1 intratracheally were slightly higher in SFA vitamin E treated rats than in control rats. Our results suggest that vitamin E levels affect susceptibility to IL-1 induced, neutrophil-dependent lung injury. We speculate that supercritical fluid aerosol (SFA) delivery of vitamin E can rapidly increase lung vitamin E levels and decrease acute oxidative lung injury.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D008168 Lung Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood. Lungs
D008297 Male Males
D009195 Peroxidase A hemeprotein from leukocytes. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to a hereditary disorder coupled with disseminated moniliasis. It catalyzes the conversion of a donor and peroxide to an oxidized donor and water. EC 1.11.1.7. Myeloperoxidase,Hemi-Myeloperoxidase,Hemi Myeloperoxidase
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D012128 Respiratory Distress Syndrome A syndrome characterized by progressive life-threatening RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY in the absence of known LUNG DISEASES, usually following a systemic insult such as surgery or major TRAUMA.

D004032 Diet Regular course of eating and drinking adopted by a person or animal. Diets
D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
