Construction and evaluation of rats' tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC) induced by NF-κB Decoy method.
To construct and evaluate rats' tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC) through induction by NF-κB Decoy method. ⋯ NF-κB Decoy ODN method can be successfully applied for construct rats' tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC) with stable morphology and phenotype. The tolerogenic DC exhibited immature immune phenotype, and low capability to stimulate lymphocytes.

KGFR promotes Na+ channel expression in a rat acute lung injury model.
Binding of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) to the KGF receptor (KGFR) plays an important role in the recovery of alveolar epithelial cells from acute lung injury (ALI). ⋯ KGFR over-expression induced Na channel expression could potentially be beneficial for ALI therapy.
