Abstract:Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the leading cause of acute respiratory failure. Endothelial cell damage and increased permeability are critical in developing acute lung injury (ALI). Phospholipase D2 (PLD2) and its metabolite phosphatidic acid (PA) regulate many physiological activities in cells, disrupting cell barrier integrity. However, the exact mechanism remains unexplored. Therefore, we elucidated the role and action mechanism of PLD2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endothel… Show more
