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.

VH domain, in which: (i) the amino acid residue at position 112 is one of K or Q; and/or (ii) the amino acid residue at position 89 is T; and/or (iii) the amino acid residue at position 89 is L and the amino acid residue at position 110 is one of K or Q; and (iv) in each of cases (i) to (iii), the amino acid at position 11 is preferably V; and in which said VH domain contains a C-terminal extension (X)n, in which n is 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 5, such as 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (and preferably 1 or 2, such as 1); and each X is an (preferably naturally occurring) amino acid residue that is independently chosen, and preferably independently chosen from the group consisting of alanine (A), glycine (G), valine (V), leucine (L) or isoleucine (I).

The present disclosure relates to a modified Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family member cytokine, with reduced activity via its cytokine receptor, wherein said interleukin-1 family member cytokine is specifically delivered to target cells. Preferably, the IL-1 family member cytokine is a mutant, more preferably it is a mutant IL-1 with low affinity to the IL-1 receptor, wherein said mutant IL-1 is specifically delivered to target cells. The targeting is preferably realized by fusion of the modified IL-1 family member cytokine to a targeting moiety, preferably an antibody or antibody-like molecule. The disclosure relates further to the use of such targeted modified IL-1 family member cytokine to treat diseases.
