A method to compensate for donor shortages could be donation after cardiac death. In this study, we considered endothelial cell-specific molecules, claudin-5 and VE-cadherin, as possible biomarkers predicting lung injury against warm ischemia. We investigated how the expression of these molecules could change after cardiac arrest in a mouse lung, comparing other molecules presumably relating with ischemia.
