Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a pathological condition that involves diffuse lung injury and severe hypoxemia caused by pulmonary and systemic diseases. We have established a mouse model of severe ARDS, developed by intratracheal injection of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), an activator of natural killer T (NKT) cells, followed by LPS. In the present study, we used this model to investigate the regulatory mechanism in the early inflammatory response during acute lung injury. In α-GalCer/LPS-treated mice, the number of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and the expression of a Treg cell-tropic chemokine, secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine (SLC), in the lungs was significantly lower than in mice treated with LPS alone. Giving recombinant (r)SLC increased the number of Treg cells in α-GalCer/LPS-treated mice. Treatment with anti-IFN-γ mAb enhanced the expression of SLC and the accumulation of Treg cells in the lungs of α-GalCer/LPS-treated mice, whereas giving recombinant (r)IFN-γ reduced the number of Treg cells in mice treated with LPS alone. IL-10 production was significantly lower in α-GalCer/LPS-treated mice than in mice treated with LPS alone. Giving rIL-10 prolonged survival and attenuated lung injury as a result of reduced production of inflammatory cytokines (such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) and chemokines (including MCP-1, RANTES, IP-10, Mig, MIP-2, and KC) in α-GalCer/LPS-treated mice. Treatment with anti-IFN-γ mAb enhanced IL-10 production in α-GalCer/LPS-treated mice. These results suggest that the attenuated accumulation of Treg cells may be involved in the development of severe ARDS through a reduction in the synthesis of IL-10.
