One of the major systemic complications associated with SAH is acute lung injury ALI which occurs in up to one-third of the patients and is associated with poor outcome. ALI in SAH may be predisposed by neurogenic pulmonary edema NPE and inflammatory mediators. The objective of this study was to assess the immunomodulatory effects of interferon-p IFN-P on inflammatory mediators in the lung after experimental SAH. Methods Male Wistar rats were subjected to the induction of SAH by means of the endovascular filament method. Sham-animals underwent sham-surgery. Rats received IFN-p for four consecutive days starting at two hours after SAH induction. After seven days lungs were analyzed for the expression of inflammatory markers. Results SAH induced the influx of neutrophils into the lung and enhanced expression of the pulmonary adhesion molecules E-selectin inter-cellular adhesion molecule ICAM -1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule VCAM -1 compared to sham-animals. In addition SAH increased the expression of the chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein MIP -la MIP-2 and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant CINC -1 in the lung. Finally tumor necrosis factor-a TNF-a was significantly increased in lungs from SAH-animals compared to shamanimals. IFN-p effectively abolished the SAH-induced expression of all pro-inflammatory mediators in the lung. Conclusions .
