Acute lung injury (ALI) and its aggressive stage, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are characterized by diffuse damage and increased permeability of the endothelial barrier, leading to alveolar infiltrates and interstitial edema. Enhancing endothelial integrity represents a novel therapeutic strategy for ALI/ARDS. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been reported to participate in endothelial repair of ALI and also serve as a tool for gene therapy. Further, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is an essential signaling molecule that regulates the fate of different cell types. The aim of our study is to explore whether bone marrow-derived EPCs transduced with lentiviral-mediated BMP2 gene might benefit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in a rat model.
