Lipopolysaccharide modifies amiloride-sensitive Na+ transport processes across human airway cells: role of mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK 1/2 and 5 [PDF]

, 2009
Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are potent inducers of proinflammatory signaling pathways via the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-KB) and mitogenactivated protein kinase (MAPK), causing changes in the processes that control lung fluid ...
