Protective role of spleen-derived macrophages in lung inflammation, injury, and fibrosis induced by nitrogen mustard.
Nitrogen mustard (NM) is a vesicant that causes lung injury and fibrosis, accompanied by a persistent macrophage inflammatory response. In these studies we analyzed the spleen as a source of these cells. Splenectomized (SPX) and sham control rats were treated intratracheally with NM (0.125 mg/kg) or PBS control. Macrophage responses were analyzed 1-7 days later. Splenectomy resulted in an incre...
متن کاملAsiaticoside attenuates hyperoxia-induced lung injury in vitro andin vivo
Objective(s): Asiaticoside (AS) displays anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis effect, but the role of AS in hyperoxia-induced lung injury (HILI) treatment is undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of AS on HILI on premature rats and alveolar type II (AEC II) cells.Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley...
متن کاملThe impact of spironolactone on the lung injury induced by concomitant trastuzumab and thoracic radiotherapy
Background: To evaluate impact of spironolactone (S) on pulmonary toxicity of concomitant use of thoracic radiotherapy (RT) and trastuzumab (T). Materials and Methods: Eighty rats were divided into eight groups: group (G) 1 was control group; G2, G3 and G4 were RT, S and T groups; G5, G6, G7 and G8 were RT+T, T+S, RT+S and RT+T+S groups respectively. Rats were sacrificed at 6 hour, 21 and 100 ...
متن کاملBeneficial effects of N-acetylcysteine on protease-antiprotease balance in attenuating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats
Objective(s): The role of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as an anti-oxidant in attenuating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis has been reported. However, its effect on parenchymal remodeling via regulating the protease-antiprotease balance is not fully defined. Therefore, the present study was designed to explore the possible role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), tissue i...
متن کاملAmeliorative effects of silymarin on HCl-induced acute lung injury in rats; role of the Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway
Objective(s): Aspiration is a common cause of acute lung injury (ALI), which lacks an effective treatment. Inflammation and oxidative stress play key roles in ALI development. Silymarin is an active extract of Silybum marianum plant seeds (milk thistle). Silymarin has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects; however its role in aspiration induced ALI has not b...
