Guanylyl cyclase activation reverses resistive breathing–induced lung injury and inflammation [PDF]
, 2015 Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is down-regulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as ...

Factor H preserves alternative complement function during ARDS, linked to improved survival
ERJ Open Research, 2023 Background Effective regulation of complement activation may be crucial to preserving complement function during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Factor H is the primary negative regulator of the alternative pathway of complement.

Sustained inflation at birth did not alter lung injury from mechanical ventilation in surfactant-treated fetal lambs. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundSustained inflations (SI) are used with the initiation of ventilation at birth to rapidly recruit functional residual capacity and may decrease lung injury and the need for mechanical ventilation in preterm infants.

Caveolin-1-Related Intervention for Fibrotic Lung Diseases
Cells, 2023 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD) for which there are no effective treatments. Lung transplantation is the only viable option for patients with end-stage PF but is only available to a minority ...

Adiponectin protects against paraquat-induced lung injury by attenuating oxidative/nitrative stress. [PDF]
, 2014 The specific mechanisms underlying paraquat (PQ)-induced lung injury remain unknown, which limits understanding of its cytotoxic potential. Although oxidative stress has been established as an important mechanism underlying PQ toxicity, multiple ...

Targeting the deubiquitinase STAMBP inhibits NALP7 inflammasome activity
Nature Communications, 2017 How NALP7 inflammasome formation is regulated is unclear. Here the authors show that STAMBP prevents lysosomal degradation of NALP7 and present BC-1471 as a potential therapeutic STAMBP inhibitor, showing it can reduce TLR-induced IL-1β production.

The topical study of inhaled drug (salbutamol) delivery in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Respiratory Research, 2018 Background Our aim was to investigate total and regional lung delivery of salbutamol in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Methods The TOPICAL study was a 4-period, partially-randomised, controlled, crossover study to investigate four ...
