This study aimed to inflammatory in the mechanical VILI. of VILI. However, whether MSC could attenuate PMN-predominant test whether MSC intervention could attenuate the PMN-predominate Methods： Sprague-Dawley rats were ventilated for 2 hours with large tidal volume （20 mL/kg）. MSCs were given before or after ventilation. The inflammatory chemokines and gas exchange were observed and compared dynamically until 4 hours after ventilation, and pulmonary pathological change and activation of PMN were observed and compared 4 hours after ventilation. Results： Mechanical ventilation （MV） caused significant lung injury reflected by increasing in PMN pulmonary sequestration, inflammatory chemokines （tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6 and macrophage inflammatory protein 2） in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and injury score of the lung tissue. These changes were accompanied with excessive PMN activation which reflected by increases in PMN elastase activity, production of radical oxygen series. MSC intervention especially pretreatment attenuated subsequent lung injury, systemic inflammation response and PMN pulmonary sequestration and excessive PMN activation initiated by injurious ventilation. Conclusions： MV causes profound lung injury and PMN-predominate inflammatory responses. The protection effect of MSC in the VILI rat model is related to the suppression of the PMN activation.展开更多
