Synopsis:
The study investigated the contribution of these genes in lung ischemia/reperfusion injury and evaluate histopathology of tissues. The major histopathological tissue damage was observed in ischemia performed groups and expression of transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) channels was found to be obviously down-regulated. The results indicate that TRPM family of cation channels may have significant roles in the lung ischemia/reperfusion injury.
