Mechanical ventilation can improve hypoxemia, but can also cause the so-called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly(I: C)), an analogue of natural double-strand RNA virus, can induce lung inflammation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether moderate tidal volume mechanical ventilation (MTV) augments poly( I: C)-induced lung injury, and if so, the mechanism responsible for it. Two mu g/g poly(I: C) were instilled intratracheally in C57BL/6J wide type (WT) mice. They were then randomized to MTV (10 ml/kg tidal volume) or spontaneous breathing. Lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected 4 h later for various measurements. Our results showed that MTV did not cause significant injury in normal lungs, but augmented poly(I: C)-induced lung injury. The expression level of WNT-induced secreted protein 1 (WISP1) was consistent with lung injury, and the amplification of lung injury by MTV could be alleviated by anti-WISP1 antibody treatment. MTV further increased poly(I: C)-induced integrin beta 3 expression in the lung. We performed coimmunoprecipitation, which showed there was an interaction between WISP1 and beta 3. WISP1 significantly increased poly(I: C)-induced TNF-alpha production in macrophages isolated from WT mice, but not in macrophages isolated from beta 3 knockout mice. Cotreatment with WISP1 and poly( I: C) markedly increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) in macrophages. Pretreating macrophages with an ERK inhibitor, U0126, dose-dependently antagonized the synergistic effect of WISP1 on poly(I: C)-induced TNF-alpha release. In conclusion, MTV exaggerates poly(I: C)-induced lung injury in a WISP1-and integrin beta 3-dependent manner, involving, at least in part, the activation of the ERK pathway. The WISP1-integrin beta 3 pathway could be a novel therapeutic target.
