This study aims to investigate the effect of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) administration on tissue repair following acute lung injury (ALI). PMSCs were transplanted intravenously to a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI. The therapeutic effects were determined by evaluating several indicators, including pathology; the wet/dry ratio of the lungs; blood gas analysis; the total protein content, cell numbers, and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF); and the levels of anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory cytokines in serum and BALF. To investigate the underlying mechanism, PMSC-derived exosomes were used for ALI treatment. Administration of PMSCs improved the degree of lung injury, reduced inflammation, increased the expression levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, and protected lung function. As expected, the effects of PMSC-derived exosomes in the ALI model were similar to those of PMSCs, both in terms of improved lung function and reduced inflammation. These findings suggest that PMSCs have ameliorating effects on ALI that are potentially mediated via their secreted exosomes.

Nanoparticles of neodymium oxide (NPs-NdO) can induce respiratory-related diseases, including lung tissue injury when entering the organism through the respiratory tract. However, it is currently unclear whether they can induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung tissue and the related mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the function of circ_009773 in the process of EMT induced by NPs-NdO in lung tissue from in vivo as well as in vitro experiments.

Luteolin-7-O-glucuronide (L7Gn) is a flavonoid isolated from numerous traditional Chinese herbal medicines that exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Previous research has revealed that aerosol inhalation is the most straightforward way of administration for the delivery of respiratory agents. Thus far, the impact of aerosol inhalation of L7Gn on lung inflammation and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown.

: Endothelial hyperpermeability is the hallmark of severe disease, including sepsis and acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS). The development of medical countermeasures to treat the corresponding illness is of utmost importance. Synthetic somatostatin analogs (SSA) are FDA-approved drugs prescribed in patients with neuroendocrine tumors, and they act via growth hormone (GH) suppression.
