Active mTOR in Lung Epithelium Promotes Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Enhances Lung Fibrosis.

abstract：:German cockroach extract synergistically regulates tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced interleukin (IL)-8 expression in human airway epithelial cells. The IL-8 promoter contains nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, activating protein (AP)-1, and NF for IL-6 (NF-IL6) transcription factor binding regions. Because coc...
