- 2015 August 10, Wen-jie Liu et al., “Paclitaxel-induced lung injury and its amelioration by parecoxib sodium”, in Scientific Reports[1], volume 5, :
- We believe that paclitaxel inhibits the expression of Zo-1 and Claudin-4 and affects TJ integrity, resulting in alveolar-capillary barrier dysfunctions, increased ACM permeability, and exudation of ferrihemoglobin fluid and cells from the capillaries to the alveoli interstitium and even the alveolar cavity, which causes pulmonary edema and, ultimately, ACM thickening and gas diffusion dysfunctions 5 6 .
