Circ Res 102:804-12. 2008..In summary, these results demonstrate a critical role for the alphavbeta5/beta6 integrins in mediating the IL-1beta-induced ALI and indicate that these integrins could be a potentially attractive therapeutic target in ALI... - High tidal volume ventilation induces NOS2 and impairs cAMP- dependent air space fluid clearanceJames A Frank
Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California, San Francisco 94143 0130, USA
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 284:L791-8. 2003..Because air space edema fluid inactivates surfactant and reduces ventilated lung volume, the reduction of cAMP-dependent AFC by reactive nitrogen species may be an important mechanism of clinical ventilator-associated lung injury... - Impact of low and high tidal volumes on the rat alveolar epithelial type II cell proteomeJan Hirsch
Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143 0130, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 175:1006-13. 2007..Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volumes leads to increased permeability, generation of inflammatory mediators, and damage to alveolar epithelial cells (ATII)... - Science review: mechanisms of ventilator-induced injuryJames A Frank
