Reactive Oxygen Species-Dependent Activation of EGFR/Akt/p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase and JNK1/2/FoxO1 and AP-1 Pathways in Human Pulmonary Alveolar Epithelial Cells Leads to Up-Regulation of COX-2/PGE<sub>2</sub> Induced by Silica Nanoparticles

The risk of lung exposure to silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) and related lung inflammatory injury is increasing with the wide application of SiNPs in a variety of industries. A growing body of research has revealed that cyclooxygenase (COX)-2/prostaglandin E<sub>2</sub> (PGE<sub>2<...
