pulmonary cells

[American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology] Scientists investigated the role of the DNA-sensing GMP-AMP synthase in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, with a focus on alveolar epithelial cell senescence.

[Amino Acids] Researchers studied whether E. coli infections could regulate interferon production and the underlying mechanisms. Two lung cell lines, a human bronchial epithelial cell line transformed with Ad12-SV40 2B and a human fetal lung fibroblast cell line, were used.

[Food & Function] The effects and pharmacological mechanisms of BRPS on the treatment of lung cancer were investigated both in vitro and in vivo.

[Scientific Reports] A novel long noncoding RNA called smoke and cancer-associated lncRNA 1 was recently found upregulated in smoke-exposed adenocarcinomic alveolar epithelial cells.

[Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology] The long non-coding RNA microarray analysis showed that the expression level of a tumor suppressive lncRNA maternally expressed 3 was significantly down-regulated in cadium-transformed cells, which was confirmed by further q-PCR analysis.

[Molecular Medicine Reports] The authors investigated whether serum exosomes played a pro‑inflammatory role in bronchial epithelial cells and explored the underlying molecular mechanisms.
