Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volumes (HVT) downregulates alveolar Na,K-ATPase function and impairs lung liquid clearance. We hypothesized that overexpression of Na,K-ATPase in the alveolar epithelium could counterbalance these changes and increase clearance in a rat model of mild ventilation-induced lung injury. We used a surfactant-based system to deliver 4 X 10(9) plaque-forming units of E1 a(-)/E3(-) recombinant adenovirus containing either a rat beta(1) Na,KATPase subunit cDNA (adbeta(1)) or no cDNA (adnull) to rat lungs 7 days before ventilation with a V-T of approximately 40 ml/kg (peak airway pressure of less than 35 cm H2O) for 40 minutes. Lung liquid clearance and Na, K-ATPase activity and protein abundance were increased in HVT adbeta(1)-infected lungs as compared with sham and adnull-infected HVT lungs. These results suggest that Na,K-ATPase subunit gene overexpression in the alveolar epithelium increases Na,K-ATPase function and lung liquid clearance in a model of HVT. We provide here the first evidence that using a genetic approach improves active Na+ transport and thus liquid clearance in the setting of mild ventilation-induced lung injury.
