TLR4 is a negative regulator in noninfectious lung inflammationHang Zhao
Pulmonary and Critical Care Unit, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA
J Immunol 184:5308-14. 2010..These data provide a molecular level explanation for the function of TLR4 in LMW HA (200 kDa)-induced lung inflammation, as inhibition of the beta form of pro-IL-1 promotes an anti-inflammatory response...
High MW hyaluronan inhibits smoke inhalation-induced lung injury and improves survivalPei Ming Huang
Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02114, USA
Respirology 15:1131-9. 2010..We hypothesized that treatment with HMW HA would block smoke inhalation lung injury by inhibiting smoke-induced lung inflammation and airway epithelial cell apoptosis...
TLR4 through IFN-β promotes low molecular mass hyaluronan-induced neutrophil apoptosisShaw Wei Leu
Pulmonary and Critical Care Unit, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02114, USA
J Immunol 186:556-62. 2011..Thus, TLR4 plays a novel homeostatic role in noninfectious lung inflammation by accelerating the elimination of inflammatory neutrophils...
High-molecular-weight hyaluronan--a possible new treatment for sepsis-induced lung injury: a preclinical study in mechanically ventilated ratsYung Yang Liu
Pulmonary and Critical Care Unit, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, 55 Fruit Street Boston, MA 02114, USA
Crit Care 12:R102. 2008..High-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HMW HA), in contrast, has been found to be anti-inflammatory. We hypothesized that HMW HA would inhibit lung injury associated with sepsis and mechanical ventilation...
Low molecular weight (LMW) heparin inhibits injury-induced femoral artery remodeling in mouse via upregulating CD44 expressionGaofeng Zhao
Pulmonary and Critical Care Unit, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02114, USA
J Vasc Surg 53:1359-1367.e3. 2011..Studies have shown that LMW heparin could bind to CD44. We hypothesized that LMW heparin might modulate CD44 expression thereby decreasing vascular remodeling...
Protective effect of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid against LPS-induced septic shock in rodentsYongqing Li
Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Surgical Critical Care, Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02114, USA
Shock 32:517-23. 2009..We report for the first time that administration of SAHA (50 mg/kg) significantly attenuates a variety of inflammatory markers and improves long-term survival after a lethal LPS insult...
