    Abstract
    Severe sepsis is the leading cause of death for patients in intensive care units. Patients with severe sepsis develop multiple organ failur~, including acute lung injury, resulting from a dysregulated -inflammatory response. Inhibitors of the ·ubiquitous chaperone, heat shock protein 96 (hsp90), block the 8:Ctivity. of certain pro-inflammatory mediators, in vitro. We hypothesized that hsp90 inhibitors may ameliorate the inflammation and acute lung injury associated with severe sepsis. Male· C57Bl/6 mice received either one of two hsp90 inhibitors, radicicol or 17-aliylaminodemethoxygeldartamycin (17-AAG), .at 24, 12, 6 and 0 hr before receiving a lethal dose of endotoxin (6.75 x 104 EU I g body weight). Outcomes included survival and parameters of systemic inflammation (plasma cytokine, chemokine and nitrite/nitrate levels), pulmonary inflammation (lung NF-KB and myeloperoxidase activities, inducible nitric oxide or iNOS expression, iNOS-hsp90 complex formation, leukocyte infiltration), and lung injury (pulmonary capillary leak, expression of endothelial specific cell-adhesion or adherens junction proteins, lung function). Mice pre-treated with vehicle and receiving endotoxin exhibited 100% 24-hr lethality, dramatic increase in all parameters of systemic and pulmonary inflammation, reduced lung function and increased capillary leak associated with reduced expression of functional adherens junction proteins. In comparison, mice receiving either radicicol or 17-AAG prior to endotoxin, exhibited prolonged survival, reduced or abolished increases in systemic and pulmonary inflammatory parameters, normal lung function and attenuated capillary leak with restored expression of adherens junction proteins. Additionally, in an in vitro model of endotoxin and activated neutrophil-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction, we show that pre-incubati~n of neutrophils or endothelial cells or both with hsp90 inhibitors impart a profound barrier protective effect, which is mediated, at-least in part, through reduced activation of pp60Src kinase (an hsp90 client protein) and phosphorylation of the focal adhesion protein paxillin, a pp60Src kinase substrate. Hsp90 inhibitors are drugs already in use clinically as adjunct cancer treatment. Therefore, th~se findings point to a potential clinical use of these drugs in sepsis and sepsis induced ALI.
