Elevated MicroRNA-33 in Sarcoidosis and a Carbon Nanotube Model of Chronic Granulomatous Disease
8 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
We established a murine model of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-induced chronic granulomatous disease, which resembles human sarcoidosis pathology. At 60 days after oropharyngeal MWCNT instillation, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from wild-type mice exhibit an M1 phenotype with elevated proinflammatory cytokines and reduced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-characteristics also present...
