CMTM3 and acute respiratory distress syndrome: Concurrently, we generated CMTM3 knockout (CMTM3ko) mice and evaluated the differences in pulmonary vascular permeability, inflammatory lung injury, and survival rates between the CMTM3ko-ARDS and WT-ARDS model mice.<h4>Results</h4>HUVECs stimulated with LPS and hypoxia/reoxygenation showed significantly higher CMTM3 expression compared to the control group (p<0.05).
