Angiostatin inhibits acute lung injury in a mouse model.
Acute lung injury is marked by profound influx of activated neutrophils, which have delayed apoptosis, along with fluid accumulation that impairs lung function and causes high mortality. Inflammatory and antimicrobial molecules, such as reactive oxygen species from activated neutrophils with prolonged lifespan, cause tissue damage and contribute to lung dysfunction. Angiostatin, an endogenous a...
متن کاملInhibition of Pyk2 blocks lung inflammation and injury in a mouse model of acute lung injury
BACKGROUND Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) is essential in neutrophil degranulation and chemotaxis in vitro. However, its effect on the process of lung inflammation and edema formation during LPS induced acute lung injury (ALI) remains unknown. The goal of the present study was to determine the effect of inhibiting Pyk2 on LPS-induced acute lung inflammation and injury in vivo. METHODS ...
متن کاملTransfusion-related acute lung injury in multiple traumatized patients
Background: Many of the multiple traumatized patients who refer to the hospital need transfusion. Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious clinical syndrome associated with the transfusion of plasma-containing blood components. In the article, we present a case of TRALI following transfusion of packed red blood cells Case Presentation: A 24 year old male referred to Shahid Beh...
متن کاملMouse Models of Acute Lung Injury
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome or ARDS is a diffuse inflammatory lung process that frequently manifests in critically ill patients, with an estimated incidence of 190,000 cases and 74,500 deaths per year in the United States alone [1]. Clinical ARDS is associated with specific risk factors that can be broadly divided into intra-pulmonary conditions, including pneumonia, aspiration, and blu...
متن کاملErythropoietin inhibits respiratory epithelial cell apoptosis in a model of acute lung injury.
Fas-mediated apoptosis of the alveolar epithelium is important in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Erythropoietin (EPO) has cytoprotective properties in other organ systems, and is relatively deficient in critical illness. This study investigates a potential role for EPO in reducing apoptosis in a model of acute lung injury. Apoptosis was induced in human alveolar epithe...
