[Phagocytosis of alveolar macrophages is suppressed in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury].

CONCLUSIONS: The phagocytic activity of AMs is weakened in ALI mice possibly due to direct LPS stimulation and the inhibitory effect of the alarmin IL-33 produced by LPS-stimulated alveolar epithelial cells.
