Mitigation of lung injury

Inhibition of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 3, or of the heterodimerization of these proteins has presently been found to mitigate mechanically-induced lung injury or a lung-stretch injury. Provided are methods for treating a mechanically-induced lung injury or a lung-stretch injury, for increasing lung compliance, moderating alveolar epithelial permeability, or both in a subject having a mechanically-induced lung injury or a lung-stretch injury, for protecting a subject against a decrease in lung compliance, an increase in alveolar epithelial permeability, or both, as a result of a mechanically-induced lung injury or a lung-stretch injury, such methods involving the administration of an inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) or human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3), or an inhibitor of the heterodimerization of HER2/HER3..
