Involvement of Vitronectin in Lipopolysaccaride-Induced Acute Lung Injury

Abstract: Vitronectin is present in large concentrations in serum and participates in regulation of humoral responses, including coagulation, fibrinolysis, and complement activation. Because alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis are common in acute lung injury, we examined the role of vitronectin in LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation. Vitronectin concentrations were significantly increased in the lungs after LPS administration. Neutrophil numbers and proinflammatory cytokine levels, including IL-1β, MIP-2, KC, and… Show more

“…Tissue levels of vitronectin markedly increase in pathophysiologic settings associated with acute inflammation, such as severe sepsis, and appear to contribute to organ injury in such conditions (7,8). Vitronectin promotes neutrophil adhesion and migration through interaction with integrins, including a v b 3 , and other ligands, such as the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor (uPAR) (9, 10).…”
