We previously reported that hypercapnia inhibits the expression of TNF and IL-6 and phagocytosis in macrophages in vitro. In the present study, we determined the effects of normoxic hypercapnia (10% CO2, 21% O2, and 69% N2) on outcomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia in BALB\/c mice and on pulmonary neutrophil function. We found that the mortality of P. aeruginosa pneumonia was increased in 10% CO2\u2013exposed compared with air-exposed mice. Hypercapnia increased pneumonia mortality similarly in mice with acute and chronic respiratory acidosis, indicating an effect unrelated to the degree of acidosis. Exposure to 10% CO2 increased the burden of P. aeruginosa in the lungs, spleen, and liver, but did not alter lung injury attributable to pneumonia. Hypercapnia did not reduce pulmonary neutrophil recruitment during infection, but alveolar neutrophils from 10% CO2\u2013exposed mice phagocytosed fewer bacteria and produced less H2O2 than neutrophils from air-exposed mice. Secretion of IL-6 and TNF in the lungs of 10% CO2\u2013exposed mice was decreased 7 hours, but not 15 hours, after the onset of pneumonia, indicating that hypercapnia inhibited the early cytokine response to infection. The increase in pneumonia mortality caused by elevated CO2 was reversible when hypercapnic mice were returned to breathing air before or immediately after infection. These results suggest that hypercapnia may increase the susceptibility to and\/or worsen the outcome of lung infections in patients with severe lung disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2012-0487oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,18]],"date-time":"2013-06-18T17:42:59Z","timestamp":1371577379000},"page":"821-828","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":112,"title":["Hypercapnia Impairs Lung Neutrophil Function and Increases Mortality in Murine\n                    <i>Pseudomonas<\/i>\n                    Pneumonia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Khalilah L.","family":"Gates","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather A.","family":"Howell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology\/Immunology, Feinberg School of Medicine, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aisha","family":"Nair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine"},{"name":"Jesse Brown Veteran Affairs Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine U.","family":"Vohwinkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lynn C.","family":"Welch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Greg J.","family":"Beitel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biosciences, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan R.","family":"Hauser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine"},{"name":"Department of Microbiology\/Immunology, Feinberg School of Medicine, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob I.","family":"Sznajder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter H.
