Summary: | Background
Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) often experience acute exacerbation (AE) after an episode of common cold.
Aims
To establish a mouse model of virus infection‐induced AE‐IPF and investigate the mechanism underlying the AE‐IPF.
Methods
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) was inoculated intranasally to wild‐type (WT) and IL‐17A gene knockout (IL‐17A‐/‐) mice 21 days after intratracheal administration of bleomycin (BLM).
Results
HSV1 infection caused acute exacerbation in mice with BLM‐induced fibrosis. Compared with the BLM+Saline mice, the mice with BLM+HSV1 showed significantly higher acute lung injury (ALI) score (P |
