1 Rapamycin attenuates the paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis through activating Nrf2 pathway. Paraquat NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
2 The nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays an important regulatory role in the antioxidant therapy of PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Paraquat NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
3 The nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays an important regulatory role in the antioxidant therapy of PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Paraquat NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
4 In this study, we tried to confirm that rapamycin attenuates PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis by regulating Nrf2 pathway. Paraquat NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
5 Furthermore, we also found that Nrf2 knockdown reduced the inhibitory effect of rapamycin on PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis, as well as decreased Nrf2 transfer from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. Paraquat NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
6 Our findings demonstrated that the protective effect of rapamycin is associated with the activation of the Nrf2 pathway in pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ poisoning. Paraquat NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
