AIMS: Systemic inflammation occurs commonly during many human disease settings and increases vascular permeability, leading to organ failure and lethal outcomes. Lipocalin 10 (Lcn10), a poorly characterized member of the lipocalin family, is remarkably altered in the cardiovascular system of human patients with inflammatory conditions. Nonetheless, whether Lcn10 regulates inflammation-induced endothelial permeability remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: Systemic inflammation models were induced using mice by injection of endotoxin LPS or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery...
