Airways Lung parenchyma Vascular system Abnormal physical forces Pathological Situations Variety of physical forces SDRA VILI Introduction • The lung is a dynamic organ
Fluid layer Shear stress Epithelial cells Basement membrane Stretch Mechanical Stimuli in The Lung • The types of physical forces also differ depending on the part of the cell where they are acting
Mechanical Stimulus • Imprecise terms: • Stretch • Distension • Accurate definitions: • Stress • Strain Proliferation Differentiation Gene expression Synthesis and secretion of protein Stress Cell or Strain Structure Function Metabolism Pattern Degree
Tensile stress Compressive stress Shear stress Mechanical Stimulus • Definitions: • Stress –force per unit area acting on a plane within a body • ‘Shear stress’ – forces are parallel to the plane • ‘Compressive stress’ – stress is directed toward the part on it acts • ‘Tensile stress’ – stress is directed away from the part on which it acts Roark RJ (1954). Formulas for Stress and Strain. McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York.
Mechanical Stimulus • Definitions (continued): • Strain – any forced change in length in relation to the initial length • ‘Tensile Strain’ – stretch • ‘Compressive Strain’ – shortening • ‘Shear Strain’–an angular distortion Roark RJ (1954). Formulas for Stress and Strain. McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York.
Mechanical Stress in The Lung • Shear stress • Mainly occurs in: • Conducting airways (airflow) • Vascular system (blood flow) • Also occurs in: • Pleural mesothelial cells (pleural fluid) • Airway and alveolar epithelial cells (fluid layer) Schumacker PT (2002) Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 282: L881-L882

Mechanical Stress in The Lung • ARDS & VILI • Edema fluid shearing forces alveoli • Repetitive opening and collapse of distal lung units high shear stress • Mechanical ventilation • Elevated airflows also increase the shear stress parallel to the surface of the airways and alveolar walls Wirtz HR, Dobbs LG (2000).

Mechanical Strain in The Lung • Strain • More prominent in cells of alveolar epithelium during breathing • ARDS: heterogeneity of alveolar ventilation bigger mechanical strain increased cell distortion • Endothelium is also subjected to strain • During lung inflation: • Extra-alveolar vessels – tensile strain (interdependence) • Alveolar vessels – compressive strain • Cytoskeletal rearrangements Schumacker PT (2002) Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 282: L881-L882 Wirtz HR, Dobbs LG (2000).

Integrin receptor Stretch-sensitive ion channels Growth factor receptor Focal Adhesion Complex Nucleus Mechanosensors • Common mechanosensors include: Ingber DE (1997). Annu Rev Physiol 59: 575-599 Chiquet M (1999). Matrix Biol 18: 417:426
Mechanical stimuli Mechanosensors • Generation of second-messenger molecules • Activation of specific protein kinases • Phosphorylation and activation of participating signalling molecules • Amplification through enzymatic cascades • Modulation of gene expression Nucleus Mechanosensors • Mechanosensors subsequently activate and interplay various intracellular events
Mechanical stimuli Not well understood Biochemical and biomolecular changes Gene expression Putative Mechanisms for Mechanotransduction • Mecanotransduction = the conversion of mechanical stimuli into intracellular biochemical and biomolecular alteration
Mechanical stimuli Intracellular events c-fos, c-jun, c-myc, JE, EST-like protein (ELK)-1, activation protein (AP)-1, specificity protein (SP)-1, nuclear factor (NF)-B, Early growth response (Egr)-1 Proteins related to transcriptional factors Signal transduction Putative Mechanisms for Mechanotransduction • In the nucleus, physical forces can exert their effects by influencing expression of immediate early genes, which encode proteins related to transcriptional factors and signal transduction Komuro I, et al.

Mechanical Force-Induced Production of Inflammatory Mediators • Inflammatory response: • Seems to depend on the type of injurious stimulus • Follows different molecular pathways • Is characterized by: • Cytokines release • Seems to depend on the magnitude of cyclic strain on alveolar cells and/or the association of a subjacent inflammatory injury; • Even interventions of very short duration such as recruitment manoeuvres could be potentially dangerous. • Prostaglandin synthesis Ricard JD, et al.
