Silencing of fas, fas-associated via death domain, or caspase 3 differentially affects lung inflammation, apoptosis, and development of trauma-induced septic acute lung injury.

Silencing of fas, fas-associated via death domain, or caspase 3 differentially affects lung inflammation, apoptosis, and development of trauma-induced septic acute lung injury.

Model: Blunt chest trauma followed 24 h later by polymicrobial sepsis induced by caecal ligation and puncture

Silencing of caspase 3 or FADD markedly reduced pulmonary apoptosis, Fas and FADD silencing decreased lung cytokine concentrations and Fas silencing decreased neutrophil infiltration, but only caspase 3 silencing substantially improved epithelial barrier dysfunction and histological appearance.
