Résumé
Macrophage activation is a key contributing factor for excessive inflammatory responses of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGPPS) plays a key role in the development of inflammatory diseases. Our group previously showed that GGPPS in alveolar epithelium have deleterious effects on acute lung injury induced by LPS or mechanical ventilation. Herein, we examined the role of GGPPS in modulating macrophage activation in ALI/ARDS. We found significant increased GGPPS expression in alveolar macrophages in patients with ARDS compared with healthy volunteers and in ALI mice induced by LPS. GGPPS-floxed control (
