Interleukin-8 release and neutrophil degranulation after pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass

Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, Institute of Child Health, London, England.

Capillary leak after cardiopulmonary bypass operations for correction of congenital heart defects is universally seen in children and often causes significant morbidity and mortality. Since neutrophil-mediated endothelial injury has been implicated as a pathogenetic mechanism, a prospective controlled descriptive study was performed to investigate possible activation pathways during and after the bypass procedure. Eighteen children undergoing operations, nine with cardiopulmonary bypass and nine neurosurgical craniotomy (i.e., operations without bypass), had samples of arterial blood collected at intervals before, during, and after operations. In six of nine cardiac patients circulating interleukin-8 concentrations rose from less than 30 pg/ml to very high concentrations (> 500 pg/ml); in the remaining three patients small rises (peak 57 to 81 pg/ml) were also seen. In all nine, the rise commenced at the time of rewarming, toward the end of bypass, and peaked 1 to 3 hours thereafter. Interleukin-8 release correlated significantly with length of bypass. Interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 beta were not found, and traces of tumor necrosis factor- alpha were detected in one patient only. Circulating elastase alpha 1- antitrypsin concentrations rose simultaneously and correlated significantly with interleukin-8 (p < 0.001) in patients with cardiac disease, as did absolute neutrophil counts (p < 0.001). In contrast, only one of nine patients with neurosurgical disease (undergoing an unusually long operation and exchange transfusion) had a rise in circulating interleukin-8 to levels greater than 500 pg/ml (p < 0.01). The two samples from this patient with elevated interleukin-8 were the only neurosurgical samples with elevated elastase. This study demonstrates the release of interleukin-8 into the circulation after pediatric hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass and supports the suggestion that this cytokine plays a role in the pathophysiology of capillary leak through neutrophil degranulation.
