The mRNA-binding protein DDX3 mediates TGF-β1 upregulation of translation and promotes pulmonary fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is potentiated by a positive feedback loop involving the extracellular sialidase enzyme neuraminidase 3 (NEU3) causing release of active TGF-β1 and TGF-β1 upregulating NEU3 by increasing translation without affecting mRNA levels. In this report, we elucidate the TGF-β1 upregulatio...
