摘要
Background: Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is characterized by increased alveolar permeability, pulmonary edema. The tyrosine kinase, c-Src, is involved in VILI but its role has not been fully elucidated. This study examined the relationship between c-Src activation and occludin levels in VILI both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: For the in vivo study, Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: control (group C); normal tidal volume (group M); normal tidal volume + c-Src inhibitor (PP2) (group M + P); high tidal volume (group H); and high tidal volume + c-Src inhibitor (PP2) (group H + P). Rats in all groups but group C underwent mechanical ventilation for 4 h. For the in vitro study, MLE-12 cells pretreated with PP2 and siRNA underwent cyclic stretching at 8% or 20% for 0, 1, 2 and 4 h. The expressions of occludin, c-Src, and p-c-Src were analyzed by western blotting, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and immunofluorescence. Results: For the in vivo study, rats in group H showed decreased occludin expression and activated c-Src compared with group C. HE staining and lung injury score showed more severe lung injury and alveolar edema in group H compared with group M and group C. Group H + P had less pulmonary edema induced by the high tidal volume ventilation. For the in vitro study, occludin expression decreased and c-Src activation increased as indicated by the phosphorylation of c-Src over time. Consistently, PP2 could restore occludin levels. Conclusions: Mechanical ventilation can activate c-Src by phosphorylation and increase the degradation of occludin. c-Src inhibitor can ameliorate barrier function and lung injury by up-regulating occludin.
