Diesel Exhaust Particulates Enhances Susceptibility of LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury through Upregulation of the IL-17 Cytokine-Derived TGF-β<sub>1</sub>/Collagen I Expression and Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome Signaling in Mice
Diesel exhaust particulates (DEP) adversely affect the respiratory system and exacerbate lung diseases, resulting in high mortality rates. However, its pathogenesis is complicated, and the mechanisms involved are incompletely understood. We investigated the effects of DEP pre-exposure on lipopolysac...
