Lovastatin Inhibits Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronan Induced Chemokine Expression via LFA-1 and Decreases Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis

BACKGROUND: Lovastatin has a unique ability to bind Leukocyte Function Antigen-1 (LFA-1), an integrin necessary for the full expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by the low molecular weight form of the extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (LMW HA). We hypothesized that lovastati...
