Abstract
A composition for alleviating, preventing, or treating hyperoxia-induced lung injury, the composition including the WKYMVm peptide as an active ingredient is described. The composition has an effect of increasing FPR2 activation and ERK phosphorylation, and also has an effect of improving alveolarization and angiogenesis in hyperoxia-induced lung injury models, and thus the composition is anticipated to be usefully used for the alleviation, prevention, or treatment of hyperoxia-induced lung injury, particularly bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
