Background: Among major trauma patients in the emergency department (ED), the leading cause of morbidity and mortality is a hemorrhagic shock. The low oxygen flow with hypovolemia in trauma patients is believed to play a significant role. Hence, oxygen supply is essential in severe trauma patients with massive hemorrhage. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different oxygen environments (hypoxia 1%, normoxia 20%, hyperoxia 80% oxygen) and variable treatments such as pentoxifylline (PTX), glycerol, hypertonic saline (HTS), protease inhibitor and dexamethasone (DEXA) in macrophage and T cells.
Methods: Nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) were measured for macrophage. MIF, interleukin (IL)-2 and 8 were measured for T cells. MTT assay was done for measuring T cell viability. Coculture was done on T cells on top of macrophages and the same protocols were carried out.
Results: PTX decreased iNOS expression mostly followed by Glycerol under hypoxia. Under the hyperoxia, PTX and other treatments decreased iNOS expressions. MIF expression was lowered with PTX under hypoxia. PTX, glycerol, HTS, and protease inhibitor were effective under hyperoxia. PTX increased T cell survival under hypoxia. Under the hyperoxia, IL-2 expressions were upregulated with PTX, Glycerol, and HTS. PTX and other treatments were effective for IL-8, too. Our results indicate that PTX, HTS, and other medications with oxygen showed an effect on macrophage and T cells under various insults and stimulations.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated potential usefulness in improving immune systems during severe inflammatory conditions similar to septic shock possibly caused by massive hemorrhage.
