Keratinocyte growth factor protects against Clara cell injury induced by naphthalene.
Airway epithelial cells are exposed to environmental toxicants that result in airway injury. Naphthalene (NA) causes site-selective damage to Clara cells in mouse distal airways. N-terminally truncated recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor (DeltaN23-KGF) protects against acute lung injury. The present study investigated whether or not DeltaN23-KGF protects against NA-induced acute Clara ...
متن کاملKeratinocyte growth factor protects against Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced lung injury.
We have previously reported that keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) attenuates alpha-naphthylthiourea-induced lung injury by upregulating alveolar fluid transport. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of KGF pretreatment in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia. A 5% bovine albumin solution with 1 microCi of (125)I-labeled human albumin was instilled into the air spaces 4 or 24 h af...
متن کاملIntravenous keratinocyte growth factor protects against experimental pulmonary injury.
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) administered by intratracheal instillation is well documented to stimulate the proliferation of alveolar and bronchial cells. In the present study, intravenous KGF was also shown to stimulate the proliferation of alveolar and bronchial cells in mice and rats, although to a lesser degree than intratracheal KGF. Despite the decreased potency of intravenous KGF on ...
متن کاملEpidermal growth factor protects against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury.
1. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is known to protect the gastrointestinal tract against various noxious agents. Its potential value in preventing/ treating hepatic injury is, however, largely unexplored. We therefore examined whether EGF could influence CCl4-induced hepatic injury. 2. Female Sprague-Dawley rats (8 per group) received saline or recombinant EGF (500 or 750 micrograms/kg, intraper...
متن کاملKeratinocyte Growth Factor Gene Delivery via Mesenchymal Stem Cells Protects against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are associated with high morbidity and mortality, and have no specific therapy. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a critical factor for pulmonary epithelial repair and acts via the stimulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been proved as good therapeutic vectors. Thus, we hypothesized...
