Mechanical ventilation (MV) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synergistically increase inflammation and lung injury. The goal of this study was to determine whether blockade of CD14 or Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) would reduce inflammation caused by LPS and MV. Rabbits were pretreated with anti-TLR4 or anti-CD14 monoclonal antibodies, followed by endobronchial LPS and MV. Blockade of TLR4 reduced the number of neutrophils and the amount of CXCL8 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In contrast, blockade of CD14 did not significantly decrease the number of neutrophils or the amount of CXCL8. These data show that TLR4 blockade reduces pulmonary inflammation caused by the combination of LPS and Mechanical ventilation.
