Highlights LPS-induced ARDS rats and PMVECs have low Fcgr2b level and high Elk1 level; Fcgr2b overexpression mitigates LPS-induced ALI/ARDS in rats and PMVECs; Elk1 knockdown mitigates LPS-induced ALI/ARDS in rats and PMVECs; Elk1 represses Fcgr2b transcription by recruiting H3K9me3; Elk1/Fcgr2b axis aggravates LPS-induced ALI/ARDS in rats and PMVECs.
