Deformation-Induced Injury of Alveolar Epithelial Cells: Effect of Frequency, Duration, and Amplitude

Abstract

The onset of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is linked to a number of possible mechanisms. To isolate the possible role of alveolar epithelial deformation in the development of VILI, we have developed an in vitro system in which changes in alveolar epithelial cell viability can be measured after exposure to tightly controlled and physiologically relevant deformations. We report here a study of the relative effect of deformation frequency, duration, and amplitude on cell viability. We exposed rat primary alveolar epithelial cells to a variety of biaxial stretch protocols, and assessed deformation-induced cell injury quantitatively, using a fluorescent cell viability assay. Deformation-induced injury was found to depend on repetitive stretching, with cyclic deformations significantly more damaging than tonically held deformations. In cyclically deformed cells, injury occurred rapidly, with the majority of cell death occurring during the first 5 min of deformation. Deformation-induced injury was increased with the frequency of sustained cyclic deformations, but was not dependent on the deformation rate during a single stretch. Reducing the amplitude of cell deformations by superimposing small cyclic deformations on a tonic deformation significantly reduced cell death as compared with large-amplitude deformations with the same peak deformation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
