The abnormal ECM deposition slowly overtakes normal lung tissue, disturbing gas exchange and leading to respiratory failure and death. ECM cross-linking and subsequent stiffening is thought to be a major contributor of disease progression and also promotes the activation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-\u03b21, one of the main profibrotic growth factors. Lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) 1 belongs to the cross-linking enzyme family and has been shown to be up-regulated in active fibrotic regions of bleomycin-treated mice and patients with IPF. We demonstrate in this study that LOXL1-deficient mice are protected from experimental lung fibrosis induced by overexpression of TGF-\u03b21 using adenoviral (Ad) gene transfer (AdTGF-\u03b21). The lack of LOXL1 prevented accumulation of insoluble cross-linked collagen in the lungs, and therefore limited lung stiffness after AdTGF-\u03b21. In addition, we applied mechanical stretch to lung slices from LOXL1+\/+ and LOXL1\u2212\/\u2212 mice treated with AdTGF-\u03b21. Lung stiffness (Young\u2019s modulus) of LOXL1\u2212\/\u2212 lung slices was significantly lower compared with LOXL1+\/+ lung slices. Moreover, the release of activated TGF-\u03b21 after mechanical stretch was significantly lower in LOXL1\u2212\/\u2212 mice compared with LOXL1+\/+ mice after AdTGF-\u03b21. These data support the concept that cross-linking enzyme inhibition represents an interesting therapeutic target for drug development in IPF.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2017-0252oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,8]],"date-time":"2017-11-08T10:10:25Z","timestamp":1510135825000},"page":"461-470","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Lysyl
