Background The delivery of genes to the airways holds promise for the treatment of lung diseases such as cystic ®brosis and asthma. Current nonviral gene delivery systems lack suf®cient transfection ef®ciency. Pulmonary surfactant has been reported to be a barrier to gene transfer into the airways.

The stimulation of cultured guinea pig alveolar macrophages by the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine, or by the phospholipid inflammatory mediator platelet activating factor (PAF) induced an increase in arachidonic acid release and its cyclooxygenase products.
