Background: Macrophages play an important role in ischemia-reperfusion injury of various organs. Liposome-encapsulated dichloromethylene diphosphonate (clodronate-liposome) depletes local macrophages in vivo. However, the effect of this approach on alveolar macrophages in pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury has not yet been evaluated.Methods: Clodronate-liposomes in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) or HBSS alone were given intratracheally to anesthetized male Lewis rats in the clodronate or the control group (n = 6/each group). After 3 days, we subjected the lungs to ischemia (37degreesC, 60 minutes) and reperfusion (60 minutes) in an isolated blood-perfused rat lung model. Analysis during reperfusion included gas exchange, hemodynamics, and airway mechanics. At the end of reperfusion, we determined leukocyte recruitment and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.Results: In the clodronate group, 4 experiments had to be terminated within 10 minutes of reperfusion because of severe lung injury, whereas all lungs of the controls could be studied during the 60-minute reperfusion period (p < 0.05). Clodronate significantly decreased dynamic airway compliance (p < 0.05) and increased airway resistance. Besides a tendency toward greater pulmonary vascular resistance, this was associated with recruitment of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (p < 0.05) and increased MIP-2 concentrations in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (P < 0.05).Conclusions: Intratracheal administration of liposome-encapsulated clodronate does not benefit, but aggravates, warm ischemia-reperfusion injury of the lung, increasing MIP-2-associated alveolar neutrophil recruitment and airway mechanical dysfunction.
