Injured patients with lung contusion (LC) are at risk of developing bacterial pneumonia (PNA) followed by sepsis and death. A recent Genome-wide Association Study, showed FER gene expression positively correlating with survival rates among individuals with above conditions. We sought to determine if electroporation-mediated (EP) delivery of FER gene could indeed improve survival, in a lethal model of combined LC and PNA. C57BL/6 mice sustained unilateral LC, which preceded a 500 Klebsiella CFU inoculation by 6 hrs. In-between these insults, human FER plasmid (pFER) was introduced into the lungs followed by eight EP pulses applied externally (10ms at 200V/cm). Control groups included EP of empty vector (pcDNA3) or Na+/K+-ATPase genes (pPump) and no treatment (LC + PNA). We recorded survival, histology, lung mechanics, bronchial alveolar fluid (BAL), FER and inflammatory gene expression and bacteriology. The data shows that 7-day survival was significantly improved by pFER compared to control groups. pFER increased BAL monocytes and activated antibacterial response genes (NOS, Fizz). pFER treatment showed decreased lung and blood Klebsiella counts reaching, in some cases, complete sterilization. In conclusion, FER gene delivery promoted survival in LC+PNA mice via recruitment of activated immune cells, improving efficiency of bacterial clearance within contused lung
