Abstract excerpt
Bleomycin produces DNA damage, apoptosis and senescence, all of which play crucial roles in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Recently, close attention has been paid to a DNA damage-induced phenotypic change (senescence-associated secretory phenotype; SASP) as a trigger for the secretion of various mediators which modify the processes of tissue injury, inflammation, repair and fibrosis. We characterized the...
