The Punicalagin Compound Mitigates Bronchial Epithelial Cell Senescence Induced by Cigarette Smoke Extract through the PAR2/mTOR Pathway
4 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tobacco smoke is an important inducer of airway epithelial cell aging. Punicalagin(PCG) is a natural anti-aging compound. The effect of PCG on tobacco smoke-induced airway epithelial cell senescence is unknown. OBJECTIVE: Our study investigated whether PCG can treat the human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) aging by inhibiting the protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2)/m- TOR pathway. METHODS:...
