Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS) are major causes of acute respiratory failure associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although ALI/ARDS pathogenesis is only partly understood, pulmonary endothelium plays a major role by regulating lung fluid balance and pulmonary edema formation. Consequently, endothelium-targeted therapies may have beneficial effects in ALI/ARDS. Recently, attention has been given to the therapeutic potential of purinergic agonists and antagonists for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Extracellular purines ( adenosine, ADP, and ATP) and pyrimidines (UDP and UTP) are important signaling molecules that mediate diverse biological effects via cell-surface P2Y receptors. We previously described ATP-induced endothelial cell (EC) barrier enhancement via a complex cell signaling and hypothesized endothelial purinoreceptors activation to exert anti-inflammatory barrier-protective effects. To test this hypothesis, we used a murine model of ALI induced by intratracheal administration of endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cultured pulmonary EC. The nonhydrolyzed ATP analog ATP gamma S (50-100 mu M final blood concentration) attenuated inflammatory response with decreased accumulation of cells (48%, P < 0.01) and proteins (57%, P < 0.01) in bronchoalveolar lavage and reduced neutrophil infiltration and extravasation of Evans blue albumin dye into lung tissue. In cell culture model, ATP gamma S inhibited junctional permeability induced by LPS. These findings suggest that purinergic receptor stimulation exerts a protective role against ALI by preserving integrity of endothelial cell-cell junctions.
