Silica nanoparticles induce pulmonary autophagy dysfunction and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition via p62/NF-κB signaling pathway

It has been reported that silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) could cause epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms of pulmonary EMT after subacute exposure to SiNPs. The results show...
