Pulmonary leukostasis can be associated with acute lung injury. We studied lung peroxidase activity using myeloperoxidase (MPO) as a granulocyte marker to quantitate pulmonary leukostasis in rabbits. Lungs were homogenized in detergent, freeze-thawed, sonified, and centrifuged, and supernatants were assayed for MPO. Seven extractions were performed, and > 80% of cumulative MPO was found in the first three extractions. By use of a three-extraction procedure, the mean lung MPO (.DELTA.A .cntdot. min-1 .cntdot. g tissue-1) was determined in normal [20.9 .+-. 5.2 (SE)], granulocyte-depleted (6.5 .+-. 2.0), saline-injected (22.2 .+-. 5.6), and pneumococcus (PNC)-challenged (69.7 .+-. 10.6) animals. Lung MPO was significantly decreased in granulocyte-depleted compared with normal animals (P < 0.005) and significantly increased in PNC-challenged compared with saline-injected animals (P < 0.001). MPO extracted from granulocytes and lungs from normal as well as PNC-challenged animals were all biochemically identical. Lung extract did not inhibit MPO, and no MPO was detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from leukostatic lungs. Lung MPO significantly (P < 0.01) correlated with intravascular intrapulmonary granulocytes. Determination of lung MPO is a relatively simple quantitative method that can be used to detect pulmonary leukostasis.
