Deletion of pendrin and prone positioning attenuated ventilator-induced lung injury in a mice model, as demonstrated by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and histologic findings. Pendrin wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice were subjected to a tracheostomy and ventilation with a supine or prone position at a high tidal volume (HTV) of 30 mL/kg. Pendrin inhibitor (YS-01) was administered intra-peritoneally 1 h before inducing VILI in the supine position. (A) Total cell count in BAL fluid. (B) Cell differential count of BAL fluid. (C) BAL fluid cytology presented cell differentiation with visual fields. NVC, non-ventilation control group; supine HTV, HTV ventilation in supine position; prone HTV, HTV ventilation in prone position. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 analyzed by Student’s unpaired two-tailed t-test.
