    Document: RNAi targeting the essential inflammatory mediators could offer protection against the progression of the disease. In an in vivo study, systemic delivery of siRNA targeting TNF-α significantly reduced the expression of TNF-α in the lungs and lung injury in a shock-induced ALI mouse model [175] . The findings suggested that pulmonary vascular cells, but not the epithelial cells, contribute to the release of TNF-α leading to lung injury following a systemic inflammatory insult. Although these findings are contradictory to the others who suggest that pulmonary epithelial cells are the major players for causing lung injury induced by a systemic disease [215, 216] , nevertheless, they provide evidence that support the use of siRNA targeting TNF-α in the management of ALI.
