A number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of liquid ventilation with perfluorocarbons in improving pulmonary function in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although it is known that perfluorocarbon-associated gas exchange facilitates lung mechanics and oxygenation, the complete mechanism by which perfluorocarbons exert their beneficial effects in acute lung injury still remains unclear. Possibly, an influence of perfluorocarbons on proinflammatory and procoagulant features of monocytic cells present in the alveolar space, such as alveolar macrophages (AMs), may be involved. Therefore, we examined in an in vitro model the effects of perfluorocarbon on both activated mononuclear blood cells (MBCs) and AMs by monitoring the expression of interleukin (IL)-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha, and tissue factor (TF).
