项目摘要

The prognosis of acute lung injury is poor and a mew therapy is necessary to improve the outcome. Recently, alveolar fluid clearance has been considered to play an important role in the resolution of acute lung injury. To increase alveolar fluid clearance, an administration of a beta adrenergic agonist is a candidate, but the mechanism responsible for the beta agonist mediated alveolar fluid clearance is still uncertain. We studied mechanisms responsible for alveolar fluid and protein clearance in rots and excised human lungs and developed a therapy for lung injury. First, we found that CFTR plays a role in b_1-adrenergic agonist-stimulated alveolar fluid clearance in rat lungs. Second, endogenous catecholamine concentrations in pulmonary edema fluid are probably not sufficient to stimulate alveolar fluid clearance. In contrast, administration of exogenous catecholamines into the distal airspaces can stimulate alveolar fluid clearance in the human lung, an effect that is mediated in part by CH R. Therefore, exogenous cAMP-dependent stimulation will probably be required to accelerate the resolution of alveolar edema in the lungs of patients with pulmonary edema. Third, chronic pulmonary artery occlusion increases alveolar fluid clearance via a_1-Na, K-ATPase overexpression in rats. Fourth, endogenous catecholamine stimulated a-adrenoceptors and increased alveolar fluid clearance in rats with acute pancreatitis. Finally, basal alveolar fluid clearance in obese Zucker rat is mediated the increased function of b_2-adrenoceptor. The current study indicates that endogenous and exogenous catecholamines play an important role in the improvement of acute lung injury.

急性肺损伤的预后很差，并且需要进行MEW疗法来改善预后。最近，肺泡液清除率被认为在急性肺损伤的分辨率中起着重要作用。为了增加肺泡液清除率，β肾上腺素能激动剂的给药是候选者，但是负责β激动剂介导的肺泡液清除的机制仍然不确定。我们研究了负责ROTS肺泡液和蛋白质清除率并切除人肺的机制，并开发了一种治疗肺损伤的疗法。首先，我们发现CFTR在大鼠肺的B_1-肾上腺素能刺激的肺泡液清除率中起作用。其次，肺水肿液中的内源性儿茶酚胺浓度可能不足以刺激肺泡液清除率。相反，将外源性儿茶酚胺施用到远端空体中可以刺激人肺中的肺泡液清除率，这种作用部分由ChR。因此，可能需要外源营CAMP依赖性刺激来加速肺部水肿患者肺部肺泡水肿的分辨率。第三，慢性肺动脉闭塞通过大鼠的A_1-Na，K-ATPase过表达增加肺泡液清除率。第四，内源性儿茶酚胺刺激了A-肾上腺素受体，并增加了急性胰腺炎大鼠的肺泡清除率。最后，肥胖扎克大鼠中的基底肺泡流体清除率介导了B_2-肾上腺素受体的功能增加。当前的研究表明，内源性和外源性儿茶酚胺在改善急性肺损伤中起着重要作用。
