Also, C3a complement fraction plays a relevant role in the pathogenesis of infection-related lung injury: high serum C3a predicts evolution to ARDS [9, 10] , while both C3a and C5a increase endothelial permeability and activate endothelial cells, thereby increasing the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines [11, 12] , and the distal complement activation product C5 b-9 triggers intracellular fluxes of calcium in epithelial and endothelial cells. Apoptosis of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell may be chronically triggered by inflammation, such as in COPD, or acutely induced by ARDS; the latter is mediated by Bruton kinase (BTK), IL-17, and macrophage stimulating-1, while IL-35 seems protective [41] [42] [43] [44] . ./cache/cord-352365-b9cmviny.txt ./txt/cord-352365-b9cmviny.txt
