abstract：:During acute lung injury, a large number of monocytes are recruited into the pulmonary tissue, which is mainly mediated by local production of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1). As an essential component of the lung tissues, alveolar type II epithelial cells are one of the major sources of MCP-1. Therefore, uncov...
