| Abstract | Background Receptor for Advanced Glycated Endproducts (RAGE) plays a major role in the inflammatory response to infectious and toxin induced acute lung injury. We tested the hypothesis that a RAGE blocking antibody when administered after the onset of injury can reduce lung inflammation compared to control antibody. Methods Male and female C57BL/6 (WT) mice were used. Forty-six received lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 26 PBS by nasal instillation on day one, repeated on day three. On day 2, 36 mice receiving LPS were divided into two groups of 18, one treated with 200 μg of non-immune isotype control IgG and the second group treated with 200 μg of anti-RAGE Ab, each dose divided between IV and IP. Ten of the 46 were not treated. On day 4, before euthanasia, mice were injected with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labelled albumen. BALF and serum samples were collected as well as lung tissue for immunohistochemistry (IHC). BALF was analyzed for cell (leukocyte) counts, for FITC BALF/serum ratios indicating pulmonary vascular leak, and for cytokines/chemokines using bead based multiplex assays. Quantitative IHC was performed for MPO and RAGE. Results Ten LPS mice showed minimal inflammation by all measures indicating poor delivery of LPS and were excluded from analysis leaving n = 11 in the LPS + IgG group and n = 12 in the LPS + anti-RAGE group. BALF cell counts were low in the PBS administered mice (4.9 ± 2.1 × 105/ml) and high in the LPS injured untreated mice (109 ± 34) and in the LPS + IgG mice (91 ± 54) while in comparison, LPS + anti-RAGE ab mice counts were significantly lower (51.3 ± 18 vs. LPS + IgG, P = 0.03). The BALF/serum FITC ratios were lower for the LPS + anti-RAGE mice than for the LPS + IgG mice indicating less capillary leakiness. Quantitative IHC RAGE staining was lower in the LPS + anti-RAGE ab mice than in the LPS + IgG treated mice (P = 0.02). Conclusions These results describe a four-day LPS protocol to sustain lung injury and allow for treatment and suggests that treatment aimed at blocking RAGE when given after onset of injury can reduce lung inflammation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
