Exogenous angiotensin (1-7) directly inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transformation induced by transforming growth factor-β1 in alveolar epithelial cells
Accumulating evidence indicates that angiotensin (1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] protects against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in animal experiments. However, whether Ang-(1-7) effectively inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) remains unclear. Th...
