Time course changes of oxidative stress and inflammation in hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury in rats
Objective(s):Therapies with high levels of oxygen are commonly used in the management of critical care. However, prolonged exposure to hyperoxia can cause acute lung injury. Although oxidative stress and inflammation are purported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury, the exact mechanisms are still less known in the hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI). Materials ...
متن کاملUrokinase-type plasminogen activator potentiates lipopolysaccharide-induced neutrophil activation.
Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease that catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Although increased circulating levels of uPA are present in endotoxemia and sepsis, conditions in which activated neutrophils contribute to the development of acute organ dysfunction, the ability of uPA to participate directly in LPS-induced neutrophil activation has not been exam...
متن کاملProtective effect of vitamin D on radiation-induced lung injury: Experimental evidence
Background: Vitamin D, especially its most active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃(Vit D) is essential in regulating a wide variety of biologic processes, such as regulating mesangial cell activation. The objective of this study was to assess the histopathological changes of effectiveness of Vit D as a protective agent against radiation induced lung injury. Materials and Methods: Eighteen Wi...
متن کاملInvolvement of the urokinase kringle domain in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.
Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) plays a major role in fibrinolytic processes and also can potentiate LPS-induced neutrophil activation through interactions with its kringle domain (KD). To investigate the role of the uPA KD in modulating acute inflammatory processes in vivo, we cloned and then developed Abs to the murine uPA KD. Increased pulmonary expression of uPA and the uPA KD was pre...
متن کاملCellular and Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Neuroinflammation after Acute Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) following traumatic events is associated with the limited therapeutic options and sever complications, which can be partly due to inflammatory response. Therefore, this study aims to explore the role of inflammation in spinal cord injury. The findings showed that the pathological conditions of nervous system lead to activation of microglia, astrocyte, neut...
