Circular RNA RORβ regulates TGFβR1 in alcohol-induced fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation

Abstract Alcohol exposure augments the expression and signaling of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ), leading to fibroproliferation. We showed that inhibition of TGFβ receptor type 1 (TGFβR1) mitigates the effect of alcohol in the lung. We further demonstrated that alcohol modulates TGFβ signal...
