Hemopexin (Hx) is the major serum scavenger protein for heme, which is a prooxidant and pro-inflammatory compound. In the current study, we hypothesized that Hx could confer beneficial effects in sterile inflammation induced by IR-mediated lung injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To examine this hypothesis, we administered Hx in an experimental mouse model of unilateral lung IRI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results demonstrate that treatment with Hx alleviated histopathological signs of inflammation in ischemic lungs, as evidenced by a reduction in the number of infiltrating neutrophils and decreased levels of perivascular edema. In addition, thrombotic vaso-occlusion in pulmonary blood vessels of IRI lungs was reduced by Hx. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that Hx inhibited the up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1, an enzyme highly induced by heme, in ischemic lungs. Finally, Hx administration caused a decrease in the levels of circulating B- and CD8+ T-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of mice with pulmonary IRI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings suggest that the serum heme scavenger protein Hx holds therapeutic promise in alleviating lung IRI-mediated sterile inflammation.
