The study by McCourtie and colleagues [1] investigates whether the inflammatory response of type 2 pneumocytes (T2P) to oxidative stress is influenced by mediators produced by alveolar macrophages (AMs) exposed to hypoxia and reoxygenation (HR) or the other way around. The authors demonstrate by use of an in-vitro cell culture model that production of pro-inflammatory mediators by T2P was increased after incubation with media from HR-stimulated AMs. Incubating AMs with T2P media exposed to HR resulted in inhibition of cytokine production. The methodology of this article closely resembles an earlier report by this group, which showed that mediators produced by AMs
