| Abstract | Acute lung injury (ALI) is often associated with sepsis and is the most common cause of acute respiratory failure. The authors evaluated the role of the heme oxygenase (HO)/carbon monoxide (CO) system on lung injury in a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced mouse model of ALI. The authors established CLP-induced ALI in C57BL/6 mice. They pretreated CLP-induced mice with HO-1 inducer (hemin) or HO-1 inhibitor (Zn protoporphyrin [Znpp]) and determined various lung injury parameters including partial pressure of arterial oxygen, thrombosis, edema, and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) level. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to measure plasma thrombomodulin (TM) and activated protein C (APC) levels. TM and HO-1 expression in lung tissue was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. Survival rate was also monitored. CLP-induced ALI was associated with decreased partial pressure of arterial oxygen, and increased thrombosis, edema, and plasma MDA, and MPO level. Plasma TM was significantly up-regulated, whereas cell surface TM in lung tissue was significantly decreased in the CLP group compared to the sham animals. Pretreatment with hemin caused up-regulation of HO-1 expression and improved partial pressure of arterial oxygen. Hemin pretreatment also caused a significant decrease in plasma TM along with increased cell surface TM expression in lung tissue, suggesting attenuation of lung injury. Survival data showed that no difference for survival between CLP animals pretreated with hemin or Znpp. Taken together, HO-1 exerts its protective effects on CLP-induced ALI via regulating cell surface TM and APC expression and modulating blood coagulation. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
