Significance of nuclear upregulation of LOXL2 in fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in the fibrotic process of acute respiratory distress syndrome
2020-02-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Fibrotic scarring is an important prognostic factor for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2), an amine oxidase, is thought to make an integral contribution to fibrotic scarring by facilitating collagen cross-linking. LOXL2 has also been proposed to epigenetically regulate gene expression to direct cell fate. Recent clinical outcomes demonstrated the ineffec...
