TIMP-1 Promotes the Immune Response in Influenza-Induced Acute Lung Injury
2018
Introduction
Influenza infects millions of people each year causing respiratory distress and death in severe cases. On average, 200,000 people annually are hospitalized in the United States for influenza related complications. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), a secreted protein that inhibits MMPs, has been found to be involved in lung inflammation. Here, we evaluated the role of TIMP-1 in the host response to influenza-induced lung injury.
