Particulate matters increase epithelial-mesenchymal transition and lung fibrosis through the ETS-1/NF-κB-dependent pathway in lung epithelial cells

Abstract Background Particulate matters (PMs) in ambient air pollution are closely related to the incidence of respiratory diseases and decreased lung function. Our previous report demonstrated that PMs-induced oxidative stress increased the expression of proinflammatory intracellular adhesion molec...
