BACKGROUND: Creatine (Cr) is a dietary supplement that presents beneficial effects in experimental models of heart and brain ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. It can improve adenosine 5'-triphosphate generation and reduce cell damage This study evaluated the effects of Cr supplementation in a model of lung PR.METHODS: Forty male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: sham operated, Cr+sham, I/R, and Cr+I/R. We investigated the effects of 5 days of Cr supplementation (0.5 g/kg/day by gavage) before left pulmonary artery ischemia (90 minutes) and reperfusion (120 minutes) on pulmonary and systemic response.RESULTS: Cr inhibited the I/R-induced increase in exhaled nitric oxide (p < 0.05), total cells (p < 0.01), and neutrophils (p < 0.001) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and in the systemic circulation (p < 0.001). The levels of interleulcin-1 beta (p < 0.05), tissue damping, and tissue elastance (p < 0.05) were also minimized Cr also inhibited pulmonary edema formation (total proteins in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, p < 0.001; histologic edema index, p < 0.001) and neutrophils accumulation in lung tissue (p < 0.001). As possible mechanisms underlying Cr effects, we observed a reduced expression of caspase 3 (p < 0.05), reduced expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, and increased expression of TLR7 in lung tissue (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Cr supplementation presents pulmonary and systemic protective effects in acute lung injury induced by I/R in rats. These beneficial effects seem to be related to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of Cr and modulation of TLRs. (C) 2016 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation.
