Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Coordinates With Transforming Growth Factor-β1 To Induce Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Migration via the Nf-κB/NOX4 Pathway in Bronchial Epithelial Cells

Researchers investigated the effect of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α on transforming growth factor-β1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and the underlying mechanisms in the human bronchial epithelial cell line, BEAS-2B.
