Alveolar macrophages are essential for the maintenance of surfactant homeostasis. We asked whether surfactant treatment would change alveolar macrophage number and whether the alveolar macrophage phenotype would become activated or apoptotic when challenged in vivo with exogenous surfactant. Surfactant pool size in mice was increased by repetitive surfactant treatments containing 120 mg/kg (110 mmol/kg) saturated phosphatidylcholine. The number of alveolar macrophages recovered by alveolar lavage decreased after the first dose by 49% and slightly increased after the second and third doses. Up to 28.5% of the macrophages became large and foamy, and their appearance normalized within 12 h. Surfactant treatment did not increase the percent of apoptotic or necrotic cells. The alveolar macrophages were not activated as indicated by no change in expression of CD14, CD16, CD54, CD95, and scavenger receptor class A types I and II after surfactant treatment. Surfactant treatment in healthy mice transiently changed the phenotype of alveolar macrophages to large and foamy without indications of changes in the surface markers characteristic of activation.
