Panaxydol Attenuates Ferroptosis against LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice by Keap1-Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway

In vivo, the role of panaxydol (PX) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury in mice was tested by determination of LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation, pulmonary edema and ferroptosis. In vitro, BEAS-2B cells were used to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which PX functions via determination of inflammation, ferroptosis and their relationship.

Hypoxic Preconditioning of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Is an Effective Strategy for Treating Acute Lung Injury

When human umbilical cord MSCs were transplanted directly, only a minority of cells migrated toward damaged tissues. Moreover, their maintenance time was short, leading to unsatisfactory therapeutic results.

The HIV Protease Inhibitor Saquinavir Attenuates Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury and Promotes M2 Macrophage Polarization via Targeting Matrix Metalloproteinase-9

Scientists focused on the important role of macrophage polarization in cecal ligation puncture-mediated acute lung injury and determined the ability of saquinavir to maintain M2 over M1 phenotype partially through the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-9.

Circulating BMP9 Protects the Pulmonary Endothelium During Inflammation-induced Lung Injury in Mice

A bone morphogeneic protein 9 (BMP9)-neutralizing antibody was administrated to healthy adult mice and lung vasculature was examined. Potential mechanisms were delineated by transcript analysis in human lung endothelial cells.
