Angiotensin receptor blockade attenuates cigarette smoke–induced lung injury and rescues lung architecture in mice

TL;DR: Data support the hypothesis that inhibition of TGF-β signaling through angiotensin receptor blockade can attenuate CS-induced lung injury in an established murine model, and provide a preclinical platform for the development of other T GF-β-targeted therapies for patients with COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocyte growth factor, a determinant of airspace homeostasis in the murine lung.

TL;DR: HGF signaling is necessary for alveolar homeostasis in the developing lung and that augmentation of HGF signaling can improve airspace morphology in murine emphysema, and studies converge on prosurvival signaling and antioxidant protection as critical pathways in HGF–mediated airspace maintenance or repair.
