Wirkungen der bronchialen segmentalen Endotoxin-Instillation beim Menschen

4. November 2026 aktualisiert von: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)

Lungenwirkungen der segmentalen Bronchial-Endotoxin-Instillation beim Menschen

Background:

- When bacteria enter the lungs, serious infections can occur. Researchers want to learn more about the process of inflammation in the lungs by studying lung cells and the products that they make. Lung cells are influenced by infections, smoking, and molecules made within the body. Researchers also want to learn more about one of these molecules, called microRNA (or micro ribonucleic acid).

Objective:

- To better how the body responds to infection. Also, to understand which cells in the lung secrete microRNA and how they may influence other lung cells.

Eligibility:

- Healthy, non-smoking adults ages 18-45.

Design:

  • Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests and an electrocardiogram.

  • Participants will have blood drawn from an arm vein. They will have an intravenous catheter (small plastic tube) placed in a vein.

  • All participants will have bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage. They will be numbed with medicine. A thin flexible tube will be placed through the nasal passages or the mouth into the airways of the lung.

    • Some participants will have bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (rinsing the airways with salt water) in order to obtain cells from lung. The water will then be suctioned out.
    • Some participants will have two bronchoscopies; during the first procedure, endotoxin, a molecule found in bacteria is squirted into a small portion of the lung. Endotoxin is a molecule that acts like an infection but isn t one. After 6 to 48 hours, bronchoscopy with with bronchoalveolar lavage will be done to look at the lung s response to endotoxin.
  • Participants heart rhythm and rate, temperature and blood oxygen level will be monitored during the procedures.

  • Participants will be called the next day to see how they are feeling.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Defining the mechanisms that limit tissue injury during acute inflammation may provide the basis for preventing secondary organ dysfunction during serious infections. We plan to use the human endotoxin lung challenge model to study mechanisms associated with the initiation and resolution of lung inflammation.

Endotoxin (LPS), an outer membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria, is a major microbial factor that mediates inflammation associated with serious infections. For over fifty years, endotoxin has been administered to humans as a challenge agent in order to understand basic mechanisms of inflammation, to provide a proof of principle for pharmacologic interventions (e.g., anti-cytokines, corticosteroids), or as an adjuvant for immunotherapy of malignancies.

We previously developed a human model to study the initiation and resolution of inflammation in a lung segment following endotoxin bronchial instillation. The inflammatory response was limited to the challenged segment and had minimal associated systemic responses. After direct instillation into a lung segment, endotoxin elicits an inflammatory response characterized by the local production of inflammatory mediators, proteins and increases in cellularity. The predominate cell species found in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of the challenged segment changes from a neutrophil influx at 2 - 6 hours to an influx of monocytes and lymphocytes at 24 and 48 hours following endotoxin challenge. At 6 hours, BAL pro-inflammatory activity (i.e., tumor necrosis factor bioactivity and induction of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 on reporter cells) is present and absent at 24 and 48 hours post endotoxin. In addition, unique subsets of lymphocytes are present in the lung during this inflammatory response.

We have recently shown that non-cellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are present in archived BAL from normal healthy volunteer airways and are differentially expressed 6 hours after endotoxin-induced acute lung inflammation. miRNA are single stranded non-coding RNA that mediate posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Some extracellular miRNA species may modulate local and distant cell processes. miRNA can activate Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and have been described as blood biomarkers of different disease states. However, the specific role of extracellular or secreted miRNAs in the lung is poorly defined. Our research plan is designed to study the roles of miRNA in acute lung inflammation by investigating the changes in miRNA signatures found in BAL and lung cells from healthy volunteers at baseline and at 6, 24, or 48 hours after endotoxin segmental lung challenge. A panel of flow cytometry cell surface markers will be performed on blood and BAL cells and intracellular and secreted miRNA will be isolated from specific cell species (i.e., neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes). We hypothesize that miRNA will have a role in modulating the initiation and resolution of inflammation.
