Possible Implication of Hypoxia-mediated Incomplete Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation in Pneumonia-induced Exacerbation of Lung Diseases
2021-04-09
Abstract excerpt
When patients with preexisting lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial pneumonitis, and pulmonary arterial hypertension, develop pneumonia, the complication often exacerbates the underlying diseases. Although neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are important components of innate immune system, the residue of NETs in the tissue can harm the host. We examined the expression of hy...
