The Tobacco Carcinogen NNK Promotes Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis through Cell Type-Specific Transcriptional Reprogramming and Direct Protein Interactions
2026-05-06
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is strongly associated with cigarette smoking, yet the contribution of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK) to IPF mechanisms remains unclear. Here, we integrated chemogenomic target prediction with lung transcriptomics to define exposure-linked, cell type–resolved programs in IPF. Putative human protein targets o...
