To investigate the effect of bone marrow depression on the development of bleomycin-induced lung injury, F-344/Crl rats were given an intraperitoneal (IP) injection of 89SrCl2 (2 mCi/kg body weight) 7 days prior to the intratracheal (IT) instillation of 7.0 U/kg body weight bleomycin (Sr-bleomycin group). A second group of rats was given an IP injection of saline followed 7 days later by IT bleomycin (bleomycin group). Additional rats were given 89Sr IP and saline IT (Sr group) or saline IP and saline IT (saline group). Rats were sacrificed at 0, 3, 10, 21, and 30 days after the intratracheal instillations. 89Sr administration resulted in significantly lower numbers of circulating blood neutrophils and monocytes in the Sr-bleomycin group compared with the bleomycin group through at least the first 21 days following the IT instillations. Lymphocyte numbers were also depressed in the Sr-bleomycin group at days 3 and 21. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) revealed significantly reduced protein and lymphocyte numbers in the BALF from the 89Sr-bleomycin group compared with the bleomycin group at day 3, but not at later time points. Neutrophils in BALF were also lower (though not significantly) in the 89Sr-Bleomycin group at day 3. There was no difference in the number of BALF macrophages between the Sr-bleomycin and bleomycin groups at any time point throughout the study. Histology and morphometry showed the same trends as the BALF data with much less severe lesions in the 89SR-Bleomycin group compared with the bleomycin group at day 3, but not at later time points. At day 10, hydroxyproline values were significantly higher in the bleomycin group (47% increase above saline group) than the Sr-bleomycin group (only 18% increase above Sr group), but by day 21, there was no longer a significant difference between these two groups. These results demonstrate that bone marrow depression significantly suppresses the early inflammatory response and collagen deposition caused by a single IT dose of bleomycin, but has little effect on the resolution of bleomycin-induced injury.
