High tidal volume (V(T)) ventilation plays a key role in ventilator induced lung injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, little is known about the effect of high V(T) on expression of growth factors that are critical to lung development. In a previous study, we demonstrated that connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) inhibits branching morphogenesis. In this study, we investigated the effect of high V(T) on CTGF expression in newborn rat lungs. Newborn rats were ventilated with normal V(T) (10 mL/kg) or high V(T) (25 mL/kg) for 6 h. Nonventilated animals served as controls. We found that high V(T) upregulated CTGF expression. To identify the potential signaling pathways mediating high V(T) induction of CTGF, newborn rats were ventilated with high V(T) for 1 or 3 h. Temporal expression of TGF-betas, p-Smad2, Smad7, and CTGF was analyzed. High V(T) ventilation did not change gene expression of TGF-betas and Smad7 but induced rapid and sustained expression of p-Smad2 that precedes increased CTGF expression. CTGF and p-Smad2 were localized in bronchiolar epithelial cells, alveolar walls and septa. These data suggest that high V(t) ventilation activates the Smad2 pathway, which may be responsible for downstream induction of CTGF expression in newborn rat lungs.
