MicroRNA-29b inhibits TGF-β1-induced fibrosis via regulation of the TGF-β1/Smad pathway in primary human endometrial stromal cells.

abstract：:Previously, we demonstrated that 8-methoxypsoralen (methoxsalen), a potent human cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) inhibitor, strongly suppresses lung adenoma induction by 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) in female A/J mice. In the present study, we examined the inhibitory effects of methoxsalen on the ...
