We have recently reported that 45 min of gut ischemia causes moderate125I-albumin lung leak at 6 hr of reperfusion which was reversed at 18 hr. Our purpose was to determine the effect of a second insult, low dose endotoxin (LPS, 2.5 mg/kg), given 6 hr after gut ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) on this lung injury as assessed by125I-albumin leak, neutrophil influx (myeloperoxidase assay, MPO), histopathology, and mortality. Rats were randomized to either sham laparotomy (LAP) or 45 min of superior mesenteric artery occlusion and 6 hr later were treated with LPS or saline. At 18 hr reperfusion the lungs were harvested, assayed for125I-albumin leak and MPO, and microscopically examined by an unbiased observer after routine H&E staining. We observed that LPS increased lung neutrophil levels both with or without gut I/R. However, only the combined insult (I/R + LPS) increased125I-albumin leak at 18 hr of reperfusion. Lung histology confirmed that the sequential combination of I/R + LPS caused marked interstitial edema and neutrophil sequestration accompanied by alveolar edema, hemorrhage, and fibrinous exudate, while I/R or LAP + LPS did not. The mortality rate of I/R + LPS was 39% which was significantly higher than LAP alone (0%), gut I/R alone (0%), or LAP + LPS (4%). In conclusion, a delayed exposure to low dose endotoxin converts moderate gut I/R-induced lung dysfunction into advanced organ failure.
