Abstract

The goals of this study were to determine whether the Fas-dependent apoptosis pathway is active in the lungs of patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and whether this pathway can contribute to lung epithelial injury. We found that soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) is present in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of patients before and after the onset of ARDS. The BAL concentration of sFasL at the onset of ARDS was significantly higher in patients who died. BAL from patients with ARDS induced apoptosis of distal lung epithelial cells, which express Fas, and this effect was inhibited by blocking the Fas/FasL system using three different strategies: anti-FasL mAb, anti-Fas mAb, and a Fas-Ig fusion protein. In contrast, BAL from patients at risk for ARDS had no effect on distal lung epithelial cell apoptosis. These data indicate that sFasL is released in the airspaces of patients with acute lung injury and suggest that activation of the Fas/FasL system contributes to the severe epithelial damage that occurs in ARDS. These data provide the first evidence that FasL can be released as a biologically active, death-inducing mediator capable of inducing apoptosis of cells of the distal pulmonary epithelium during acute lung injury

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
