Plasma glutamate-modulated interaction of A2AR and mGluR5 on BMDCs aggravates traumatic brain injury-induced acute lung injury.
Model: Severe traumatic brain injury by weight-drop cortical impact causing neurogenic acute lung injury (neurological deficit score III, about 30 percent mortality within 5 minutes); a moderate weight-drop model and a non-neurogenic oleic acid model (0.6 ml/kg intravenous) were used for comparison
In severe traumatic brain injury-induced acute lung injury the A2A receptor agonist worsened lung water content, PaO2/FiO2 ratio, histological injury and neutrophil infiltration, while the antagonist ZM241385 attenuated all of these, with no effect in A2A receptor knockout mice. The direction was o…
