, and
macrophage-inflammatory protein-2. In endotoxin-induced acute lung
inflammation, administration of anti-HMG-1 Abs either before or
after endotoxin exposure decreased the migration of neutrophils to the
lungs as well as lung edema. These protective effects of anti-HMG-1
were specific, because pulmonary levels of IL-1ß, TNF-
, or
macrophage-inflammatory protein-2 were not decreased after therapy with
anti-HMG-1. Together, these findings indicate that HMG-1 is a
distal mediator of acute inflammatory lung
injury. | Introduction |

150,000 patients per year in
the U.S., with recent mortality rates being >30% (1, 2, 3).
At present, there is no effective treatment. Acute lung injury
often develops after the onset of injury or severe infection
(4, 5, 6). The pathogenesis involves increased production of
inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-
and IL-1ß, and is
characterized histologically by accumulation of large numbers of
neutrophils and the development of interstitial edema (1, 2, 3, 6). High mobility group protein-1 (HMG-1)3 is a highly conserved protein with >95% amino acid identity between rodents and humans (7, 8). HMG-1 was initially characterized as a nonhistone nuclear protein that binds to the narrow minor groove of AT sequence-rich B form DNA. It has been implicated in the regulation of gene transcription and in stabilizing nucleosome formation (7, 8, 9, 10, 11). HMG-1 also is present in a membrane associated form, termed amphoterin, that mediates neurite outgrowth (8, 12). Amphoterin can interact with macrophage cell surface receptors for advanced glycation end products to enhance expression of tissue-type plasminogen activator (12, 13, 14). HMG-1 was recently identified as a late mediator of endotoxin lethality (15). Circulating levels of HMG-1 rose after the administration of endotoxin, and injection of HMG-1 itself was lethal. Abs to HMG-1 attenuated mortality associated with endotoxemia, even when the Abs were administered 2 h after the onset of endotoxemia, when the TNF peak had already occurred (15). Moreover, in patients with severe infection, increased serum HMG-1 levels correlated with nonsurvival (15).
Because endotoxin and proinflammatory cytokine release is important in
the mediation of acute lung injury (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), we reasoned
that HMG-1 might also be involved in the development and progression of
this entity. The present experiments show that HMG-1 itself can cause
an acute pulmonary inflammatory response, manifested by neutrophil
accumulation, interstitial edema, and increased production of
proinflammatory cytokines in the lungs. Anti-HMG-1 Abs attenuated
endotoxin-induced lung injury, but not the early release of TNF-
and
IL-1ß, indicating that HMG-1 is a late mediator of endotoxin-induced
acute lung injury.

Male C3H/HeJ mice, 812 wk of age, were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME), and BALB/c mice, 812 wk of age, were purchased from Harlan Sprague Dawley (Indianapolis, IN). The mice were kept on a 12-h light/dark cycle with free access to food and water. All experiments were conducted in accordance with institutional review board-approved protocols.
Model of endotoxin exposure and anti-HMG-1 treatment
Methoxyfluorane-anesthetized BALB/c mice received 5 µg
Escherichia coli O111:B4 endotoxin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO)
intratracheally (i.t.) in 50 µl PBS. Control mice were given 50 µl
PBS i.t. without LPS. In experiments using anti-HMG-1 Abs, mice
were given 0.2 ml preimmune (control) or postimmune (anti-HMG-1)
rabbit antiserum i.p. either 30 min before and 12 h after LPS
administration or 2 and 12 h after LPS administration. Rabbit
anti-HMG-1 antiserum was assayed for specificity and titer to HMG-1
by ELISA and immunoblotting, as previously described (15).
The anti-HMG-1 Abs contained in the antiserum reacted specifically
with HMG-1 and did not cross-react with LPS, other bacterial proteins,
TNF-
, or IL-1ß. In these experiments, lungs were harvested 24
h after i.t. administration of PBS with or without endotoxin as
indicated.
HMG-1 exposure
Methoxyfluorane-anesthetized C3H/HeJ mice received 1, 10, or 100 µg HMG-1 i.t. in 50 µl sterile water. Control mice were given 50 µl sterile water i.t. without HMG-1. As a control, 1, 10, or 100 µg of rat albumin (Sigma) in 50 µl distilled water were given i.t., and no increases in lung myeloperoxidase (MPO), wet-dry ratio, or cytokine levels compared with control, unmanipulated mice were found 1, 8, or 24 h after such treatment. Recombinant HMG-1 was prepared as previously described (15), and contained <2.5 ng of LPS per µg of rHMG-1. Similar doses of HMG-1 have been given i.p. in previous studies (15) examining the systemic effects of this molecule. In the present experiments, lungs were harvested 8 or 24 h after the i.t. injections.
MPO assay
MPO activity was assayed as reported previously (16). Excised lungs from three to four mice per treatment group were frozen in liquid nitrogen, weighed, and stored at -86°C. Lungs were homogenized for 30 s in 1.5 ml 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, and centrifuged at 4°C for 30 min at 40,000 x g. The pellet was resuspended in 1.5 ml 50 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.0, containing 0.5% hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, sonicated for 90 s, incubated at 60°C for 2 h, and centrifuged. The supernatant was assayed for peroxidase activity corrected to lung weight.
Wet-dry lung weight ratios
All mice used for lung wet-dry weight ratios were of identical ages. Lungs were excised, rinsed briefly in PBS, blotted, and then weighed to obtain the "wet" weight. Lungs were then dried in an oven at 80°C for 7 days to obtain the "dry" weight.
Cytokine ELISA
After the lung vascular bed had been flushed by injecting 5 ml
chilled (4°C) PBS into the right ventricle, the lungs were
homogenized for 30 s in lysis buffer containing 10 mM HEPES, 150
mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.6% ipegal, 5 mM PMSF, 1 µg/ml leupeptin, 1
µg/ml aprotinin, 10 µg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor, and 1 µg/ml
pepstatin. The homogenates were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm at 4°C for
10 min, and the supernatants were collected. Protein content of the
supernatants was determined using the bicinchoninic acid protein assay
kit from Pierce Chemical Co. (Pittsburgh, PA). Immunoreactive IL-1ß,
TNF-
, and macrophage-inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) were quantitated
using commercially available ELISA kits (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN).
With these assays, the threshold of sensitivity for IL-1ß and MIP-2
is 3 pg/ml, and that for TNF-
is 10 pg/ml.
Histochemistry
Control or HMG-1 mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation under methoxyfluorane anesthesia 24 h after i.t. injections, and then the chest was opened and the lung vascular bed was flushed by injecting 5 ml cold PBS through the right ventricle of the heart. The lungs were gently infiltrated through the trachea with 1% low melting point agarose (SeaKem, FMC Bioproducts, Rockland, ME) at 42°C. The lungs were removed en bloc and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, 0.23 M sucrose solution overnight. Tissue was then embedded, and 5-µm sections were prepared for staining with Gills hematoxylin (Fisher, Springfield, NJ).
Statistical analysis
To limit variability and provide appropriate controls, for each experimental condition, groups of animals were prepared and studied at the same time. For each experimental condition, mice in all groups had the same birth date and had been housed together. Separate groups of mice (n = 3 to 9 per group) were used for MPO assays and cytokine analysis. Data are presented as mean ± SEM for each experimental group. One way ANOVA and the Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test was used for comparisons between data groups. p < 0.05 was considered significant.

, and MIP-2 were significantly
elevated in the lungs after administration of doses of HMG-1 as low as
1 µg/mouse (Fig. 2
, and other proinflammatory stimuli (6, 17, 22, 23, 24). Because the doses of HMG-1 applied here fall within the
pathologically relevant range seen in sepsis patients or endotoxemic
mice (15), these findings provide direct evidence that
HMG-1 can participate in the mediation of acute lung injury.

, IL-1ß, and MIP-2. Treatment of mice with
anti-HMG-1 Abs either before or after endotoxin administration
significantly decreased endotoxin-induced neutrophil accumulation into
the lungs (Figs. 4A
, IL-1ß, and MIP-2 in
the lung. However, anti-HMG-1 treatment had no effect on
endotoxin-induced increases in IL-1ß, TNF-
, or MIP-2 protein
concentrations (Fig. 5
|
|
(15). The present
experiments show that the delayed release of HMG-1 can participate in
the downstream development of lung injury. This role of HMG-1 in the
pathogenesis of acute lung injury appears to be distinct from any
effects on earlier acting proinflammatory cytokines. In particular,
despite the ameliorative effects of anti-HMG-1 Abs on the
development of lung injury and neutrophil accumulation,
endotoxin-induced increases in pulmonary concentrations of IL-1ß,
TNF-
, and MIP-2 were not affected by inhibiting HMG-1. Previous
studies (18) demonstrated that proinflammatory cytokines,
including IL-1ß and TNF-
, induce production of HMG-1. The present
findings are consistent with HMG-1 being a distal inflammatory
mediator, with delayed release after cellular exposure to endotoxin or,
more likely, with release induced primarily by proinflammatory
cytokines, such as IL-1ß and TNF-
, the expression of which is
rapidly increased by endotoxin.
Although anti-HMG-1 treatment significantly decreased lung edema
and neutrophil accumulation, such therapy did not completely ameliorate
the development of lung injury as compared with controls. These results
indicate that whereas HMG-1 participates in endotoxin-induced lung
injury, other mediators also are involved. It is likely that IL-1ß,
TNF-
, and MIP-2 participate in the early development of acute lung
injury (3, 6, 16, 19, 20, 21); the levels of these mediators
were increased in the lungs of endotoxin-treated mice even when
anti-HMG-1 was administered. Blockade of each of these cytokines
ameliorates endotoxin-induced lung damage (17, 22).
Instillation of IL-1ß, TNF-
, or MIP-2 into the lungs leads to
neutrophil accumulation, interstitial edema, and histological changes
consistent with inflammatory injury (23, 24). These
proinflammatory cytokines are present in bronchoalveolar lavage
specimens from animals or patients with acute lung injury (17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25). The delayed kinetics of HMG-1 release, associated with
its contributory role in acute lung injury, point to HMG-1 as a
potential target for therapeutic intervention. However, because
inhibition of HMG-1 does not completely prevent inflammatory injury to
the lungs, it is likely that effective strategies for acute lung injury
should focus on inhibiting the pathological effects of both early
(e.g., TNF-
and IL-1ß) and late (e.g., HMG-1) mediators.
