Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) induces production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines by bronchial epithelial cells via the epidermal growth factor receptor and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways.

abstract：:Emerging data indicate that endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A previous study noted that blocking the activity of protein phosphatase 2 A (PP2A) could attenuate EndMT. However, the treatment effects of PP2A inhibitors in pulmonary fibros...

Distribution of the pulmonary flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMOp) is of interest because it oxidatively metabolizes a wide variety of nitrogen-, sulfur-, and phosphorous-containing xenobiotics, some of which form highly...
