Lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of surfactant proteins A(1) and A(2) in human renal tubular epithelial cells

BACKGROUND: Surfactant protein A (SP-A), encoded by two functional genes, SP-A1 and SP-A2, is essential for the inflammatory process and host defence in the lungs. Recent studies have demonstrated the extrapulmonary expression of SP-A. Similar to the lungs, the kidneys are organs exposed to external...
