Abstract

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome characterized by the rapid influx of protein-rich edema fluid into the air spaces. The magnitude of alveolar epithelial cell injury is a key determinant of disease severity and an important predictor of patient outcome. The alveolar epithelium is positioned at the interface of the host response in the initiation, progression, and recovery phase of the disease. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a potent survival factor unique to the epithelium that promotes lung epithelial cell survival, accelerates wound closure, and reduces fibrosis. We therefore hypothesized that KGF preserves lung function by inhibiting apoptosis through activation of a signal transduction pathway responsible for cell survival. To test this hypothesis we determined that KGF inhibits death following Fas activation, a relevant apoptosis pathway, and then determined that cell survival is mediated through activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K)/Akt kinase signal transduction pathway. We found that KGF induces a dose- and time-dependent increase in Akt kinase activity and that, as expected, activation of Akt via KGF is PI3K dependent. KGF inhibited Fas-induced apoptosis as measured by a re...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.
