PM2.5 triggers autophagic degradation of Caveolin-1 via endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) to enhance the TGF-β1/Smad3 axis promoting pulmonary fibrosis
Air pollution is highly associated with respiratory diseases. However, the influence and mechanism of particulate matter with aerodynamic equal to or less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) in lung homeostasis remain unclear. Herein, we demonstrated the induction of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) by PM2.5 exposure. The a...
