acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Yet the mechanisms of inflammatory lung injury
remain largely unknown. Here we showed that bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
and cecal ligation and puncture–induced (CLP-induced) polymicrobial sepsis decreased the
expression of transcription factor cAMP response element binding (CREB) in lung
endothelial cells. We demonstrated that endothelial CREB was crucial for VE-cadherin …
