N2 - Experimental pharmacotherapies for the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have not met with success in the clinical realm. We hypothesized that chemically modified tetracycline 3 (CMT-3), an anti-inflammatory agent that blocks multiple proteases and cytokines, would prevent ARDS and injury in other organs in a clinically applicable, porcine model of inflammation-induced lung injury. Pigs (n = 15) were anesthetized and instrumented for monitoring. A "2-hit" injury was induced: (a) peritoneal sepsis-by placement of a fecal clot in the peritoneum, and (b) ischemia/reperfusion-by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 30 min. Animals were randomized into two groups: CMT-3 group (n = 7) received CMT-3 (200 mg/kg); placebo group (n = 9) received the same dose of a CMT-3 vehicle (carboxymethylcellulose). Experiment duration was 48 h or until early mortality. Animals in both groups developed polymicrobial bacteremia. Chemically modified tetracycline 3 treatment prevented ARDS as indicated by PaO2/FIO2 ratio, static compliance, and plateau airway pressure (P < 0.05 vs. placebo). It improved all histological lesions of ARDS (P < 0.05 vs. placebo). The placebo group developed severe ARDS, coagulopathy, and histological injury to the bowel. Chemically modified tetracycline 3 treatment prevented coagulopathy and protected against bowel injury. It significantly lowered plasma concentrations of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10. This study presents a clinically relevant model of lung injury in which CMT-3 treatment prevented the development of ARDS due in part to reduction of multiple plasma cytokines. Treatment of sepsis patients with CMT-3 could significantly reduce progression from sepsis into ARDS.
