Recombinant human activated protein C attenuates endotoxin-induced lung injury in awake sheep
Langbakk, Bodil; Wærhaug, Kristine; Kuklin, Vladimir N.; Kirov, Mikhail Y.; Sovershaev, Mikhail; Ingebretsen, Ole C.; Ytrehus, Kirsti; Bjertnæs, Lars J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-08-15)Introduction: Acute lung injury often complicates severe sepsis. In Gram-negative sepsis, bacterial endotoxin activates both coagulation and inflammation. Enhanced lung vascular pressures and permeability, increased extravascular lung water content and deteriorated gas exchange characterize ovine endotoxin-induced lung injury, a frequently used model of acute lung injury. Recombinant human ... -
Tezosentan-induced attenuation of lung injury in endotoxemic sheep is associated with reduced activation of protein kinase C
Ingebretsen, Ole C.; Kuklin, Vladimir N.; Kirov, Mikhail Y.; Sovershaev, Mikhail; Andreasen, Thomas; Ytrehus, Kirsti; Bjertnæs, Lars J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005-03-04)Introduction: Studies in vitro reveal that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates the α isoform of protein kinase C (PKC-α) in cultures of endothelial cells, thereby deranging cellular integrity. Sepsis and endotoxemia are associated with increased plasma concentrations of ET-1 that induce acute lung injury (ALI). We recently reported that non-selective ET-1 receptor blockade attenuates ALI in sheep by ...
