| description | Although essential in critical care medicine, mechanical ventilation often results in ventilator-induced lung injury. Low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide have been proven to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects in the lung. The aim of this study was to analyze the kinetic effects of pre- and posttreatment with hydrogen sulfide in order to prevent lung injury as well as inflammatory and oxidative stress upon mechanical ventilation. Mice were either non-ventilated or mechanically ventilated with a tidal volume of 12 ml/kg for 6 h. Pretreated mice inhaled hydrogen sulfide in low dose for 1, 3, or 5 h prior to mechanical ventilation. Posttreated mice were ventilated with air followed by ventilation with hydrogen sulfide in various combinations. In addition, mice were ventilated with air for 10 h, or with air for 5 h and subsequently with hydrogen sulfide for 5 h. Histology, interleukin-1β, neutrophil counts, and reactive oxygen species formation were examined in the lungs. Both pre-and posttreatment with hydrogen sulfide time-dependently reduced or even prevented edema formation, gross histological damage, neutrophil influx and reactive oxygen species production in the lung. These results were also observed in posttreatment, when the experimental time was extended and hydrogen sulfide administration started as late as after 5 h air ventilation. In conclusion, hydrogen sulfide exerts lung protection even when its application is limited to a short or delayed period. The observed lung protection is mediated by inhibition of inflammatory and oxidative signaling. |
