Global analysis of gene expression in pulmonary fibrosis reveals distinct programs regulating lung inflammation and fibrosis
15 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis are poorly understood. We have used oligonucleotide arrays to analyze the gene expression programs that underlie pulmonary fibrosis in response to bleomycin, a drug that causes lung inflammation and fibrosis, in two strains of susceptible mice (129 and C57BL/6). We then compared the gene expression patterns in these mice with 129 mice carrying a null mutation in the...
