Hypoxia and transforming growth factor β1 regulation of long non‐coding RNA transcriptomes in human pulmonary fibroblasts
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
One of the key characteristics of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is accumulation of excess fibrous tissue in the lung, which leads to hypoxic conditions. Transforming growth factor (TGF) β is a major mediator that promotes the differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. However, how hypoxia and TGFβ together contribute the pathogenesis of IPF is poorly understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have...
