Increased basigin in bleomycin-induced lung injury.
Basigin is expressed in many tissues during development, including lung. It is also found on tumor cells and in wounds where it is thought to stimulate adjacent fibroblasts to produce matrix metalloproteinases. To investigate whether basigin might be expressed in fibro-inflammatory lung processes, we generated bleomycin-induced lung injury in mice. At 14 d after intratracheal bleomycin, we foun...
متن کاملCorilagin Attenuates Aerosol Bleomycin-Induced Experimental Lung Injury
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressing lethal disease with few clinically effective therapies. Corilagin is a tannin derivative which shows anti-inflammatory and antifibrotics properties and is potentiated in treating IPF. Here, we investigated the effect of corilagin on lung injury following bleomycin exposure in an animal model of pulmonary fibrosis. Corilagin abrogated bleomyci...
متن کاملNMDA Receptor Antagonist Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Acute Lung Injury
BACKGROUND Glutamate is a major neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Large amount of glutamate can overstimulate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), causing neuronal injury and death. Recently, NMDAR has been reported to be found in the lungs. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of memantine, a NMDAR channel blocker, on bleomycin-induced lung injury mice. METHO...
متن کاملAlveolar surfactant protein D content modulates bleomycin-induced lung injury.
RATIONALE Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a collectin family member with demonstrated immunomodulatory properties in vitro. We hypothesized that SP-D modulates inflammation during noninfectious lung injury in vivo. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association of alveolar SP-D and injury, we studied the responses of transgenic mice expressing varying levels of SP-D to intratracheal bleomycin (ITB)...
متن کاملCathepsins in bleomycin-induced lung injury in rat.
Endogenous inhibitors tightly control the activity of proteinases in the extracellular space. Proteinase/antiproteinase imbalance may be caused by predominance of proteinases, resulting in severe tissue damage or abundance of proteinase inhibitors, leading to a shift in the balance of synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix proteins and accumulation of these matrix components. Lung fi...
