Background and objective:Ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) leads to airway epithelial cell apoptosis and lung inflammation. High tidal volume ventilationin vivohas been shown to induce MIP‐2 production, lung neutrophil sequestration and apoptotic airway cell death. This study aimed to determine the effect of N‐acetylcysteine (NAC), a scavenger of oxygen radicals, on lung inflammation and apoptosis in anin vivomodel of VILI.Methods:Sprague–Dawley rats (n= 5 per group) were ventilated at low tidal volume (VT7 mL/kg) or high tidal volume (VT20 mL/kg) with or without administration of 140 mg/kg of intravenous NAC. Animals were ventilated for 30 min, 1 or 2 h, then allowed to recover for 2 h, at which time neutrophil infiltration, MIP‐2, TNF‐α and IL‐6 in BAL fluid, as well as the percentage of apoptotic airway epithelial cells, were measured.Results:Ventilation at VT20 mL/kg increased oxidant release, as measured by serum isoprostane, and decreased lung glutathione, the major antioxidant in the lung. NAC treatment during ventilation at VT20 mL/kg prevented the decrease in lung glutathione and significantly lowered serum isoprostane levels, neutrophil infiltration, cytokines in the BAL and apoptosis in the airways as compared with animals ventilated at VT20 mL/kg without NAC (P< 0.05).Conclusions:These data point to an early role of oxidant‐induced inflammation and apoptosis in VILI.
