Jul 7, 2014 · The levels of TGF-β1 in BALF were significantly higher in patients with lung cancer compared with patients with benign diseases (P = 0.003). However, no significant difference of …

Jul 7, 2014 · Changes of cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) reflect immunologic reactions of the lung in pulmonary malignancies. Detection of biomarkers in BALF might serve …

TGF-β1 in the BALF is largely responsible for procollagen I promoter activation. Primary cultures of normal human lung fibroblasts were transiently transfected with the human procollagen I …

Oct 3, 2022 · Here, by studying the effects of ECP, we uncovered immune mechanisms that promote BOS after lung transplantation. ECP inhibits BOS through reducing AM responses to …

Methods: Total TGF-beta (1) was measured in BALF from 30 pediatric CF patients and 12 non-CF disease controls undergoing clinically indicated flexible bronchoscopy, and compared to four …

With previous studies demonstrating that increased expression of TGF-β can be associated with both acute and chronic lung injury, (24) we explored the association between increased TGF-β …

Oct 3, 2013 · In our current study, we detected the levels of IL-17 and TGF-β1 in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of asthma infants, with an attempt to explore the role of IL …

The aim of this study was to evaluate TGF-beta1 levels and lymphocyte subsets in the broncholaveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients with primary lung cancer and to analyze the …

Sep 15, 2011 · The levels of IL-17A and IL-17A production-related cytokines TGF-β1, IL-6, and IL-23 were significantly elevated in the BALF from the fibrotic lungs (A). The expressions of the …

TGF‐β1 plays a critical role in the resolution of tissue injury and development of pulmonary fibrosis (Pittet et al., 2001), and its concentration is markedly increased in BALF as early as 24 …
