- W1999756883 abstract "Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta is a cytokine that has been demonstrated to be an important modulator of inflammation and angiogenesis, as well as a potent stimulator of pleural fluid production and fibrosis. We previously demonstrated that rising levels of pleural fluid TGF-beta(1) correlate with pleural fibrosis in experimental empyema in rabbits. In this study, our hypothesis is that neutralization of TGF-beta with an intrapleural injection of a monoclonal antibody to TGF-beta will decrease pleural fibrosis in empyema.Prospective, randomized, blinded study.Animal research laboratory.Nineteen rabbits.An empyema was induced in 19 rabbits by intrapleural injection of Pasteurella multocida. A panspecific monoclonal antibody to TGF-beta was injected into the pleural space on 2 subsequent concurrent days in nine rabbits. Ten rabbits received intrapleural injections of bacteria alone and served as controls. All animals were then killed on day 6. Immunohistochemistry, using the antibody to TGF-beta, was performed on pleural tissue specimens from the control rabbits.Immunohistochemistry revealed localization of TGF-beta to macrophages in the exudative material and the visceral pleura. After injection of the antibody to TGF-beta, the amount of purulent, exudative material in the pleural space of the nine experimental animals was markedly decreased at autopsy on day 6, relative to control animals. All markers of empyema and pleural fibrosis were also significantly decreased in the rabbits receiving intrapleural anti-TGF-beta.TGF-beta localizes to macrophages in experimental empyema. Early intrapleural injection of an antibody to TGF-beta inhibits empyema formation and significantly decreases pleural fibrosis in experimental empyema." @default.
