Research Abstract

The expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in pulmonary endothelium was promoted in both gene and protein levels by injecting lipopolysaccaride (LPS) into trachea of mice. Alveolar macrophages isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were cultured in addition to LPS. IL-1beta and TNF-alpha were introduced from the alveolar macrophages. The expression of HGF in pulmonary endothelium was inhibited in LPS-induced lung injury by adminstering anti-IL-1ß antibody or anti-TNFalpha antibody immediately after injecting LPS into trachea. In LPS-induced lung injury, administration of anti-HGF antibody promoted apoptosis of alveolar epithelium, and pulmonary vascular permeability. It suggested that HGF could play a pivotal role in recovery from LPS-induced lung injury.
