Loss of epithelial Gq and G11 signaling inhibits TGFβ production but promotes IL-33–mediated macrophage polarization and emphysema (2016)
Journal Article

Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide–binding protein (G protein) signaling is a ubiquitous signaling system that links hundreds of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) with four G protein signaling pathways. Two of these pathways, one mediated by Gq and... Read More about Loss of epithelial Gq and G11 signaling inhibits TGFβ production but promotes IL-33–mediated macrophage polarization and emphysema.

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor gene deletion alters bleomycin-induced lung injury, but not development of pulmonary fibrosis (2016)
Journal Article

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive, fatal disease with limited treatment options. Protease-mediated transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) activation has been proposed as a pathogenic mechanism of lung fibrosis. Protease activity in the lun...

Reduced Ets domain-containing protein Elk1 promotes pulmonary fibrosis via increased integrin ?v?6 expression (2016)
Journal Article

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease with high mortality. Active TGF?1 is considered central to the pathogenesis of IPF. A major mechanism of TGF?1 activation in the lung involves the epithelially restricted ?v?6...
