Depletion of club cells attenuates bleomycin-induced lung injury and fibrosis in mice

Abstract Background The role of bronchiolar epithelial cells in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis has not been clarified. We previously demonstrated DNA damage in murine bronchioles in the early stages of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis that subsequently extended to alveolar cells at the a...
