A prostacyclin analogue, iloprost, protects from bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice

BACKGROUND: Metabolites of arachidonic acid such as prostacyclin (PGI(2)) have been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators.
