Original Article JH Kim et al: NF-κB decoy ODN in LPS-induced ALI 96 Results: NF-κB decoy ODN treatment significantly decreased NF-κB activity in lung tissues. However, it failed to improve the parameters of LPS-induced direct ALI, including the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 in BALF, myeloperoxidase activity in BALF and histopathologic changes measured by the ALI score. Conclusion: NF-κB decoy ODN, which has been proven to be effective in indirect models, had no effect in the direct ALI model.
