The Role of PGE2 in Alveolar Epithelial and Lung Microvascular Endothelial Crosstalk

Abstract Disruption of the blood-air barrier, which is formed by lung microvascular endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells, is a hallmark of acute lung injury. It was shown that alveolar epithelial cells release an unidentified soluble factor that enhances the barrier function of lung microvascul...
