abstract = {Suppression of inflammation in acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ has been well demonstrated in animal model studies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect remain largely unknown. The induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) exerts antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and immunomodulatory functions in various situations. Recent studies have indicated that activation of PPARγ induces expression of HO-1, suggesting that HO-1 is a downstream target of PPARγ. Meanwhile, study has shown that activation of PPARγ ameliorates inflammatory response of cells by inhibiting high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) release. In pulmonary system, binding of HMGB1 to its receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) triggers the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules and reactive oxygen species, promoting the development of ALI/ARDS. Based on the recent findings that induction of HO-1 protects tissues and cells from extracellular stress by reducing HMGB1 production, we propose the hypothesis that HO-1 may mediate the protective effects of PPARγ on inhibition of HMGB1-RAGE signaling pathway to attenuate the development of ALI/ARDS.},
