1 Increased bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis in mice lacking the Th1-specific transcription factor T-bet. Bleomycin T-box 21 Mus musculus
2 Bleomycin-induced early mast cells and eosinophil accumulation, and eosinophil degranulation, in the lesional tissue were greater in T-bet(-/-) mice than in wild-type control mice. Bleomycin T-box 21 Mus musculus
3 These results demonstrate that in mice lacking T-bet bleomycin induced exaggerated skin fibrosis, suggesting that T-bet has an important physiologic role in regulation of tissue repair by promoting Th1 immune responses that prevent excessive ECM accumulation. Bleomycin T-box 21 Mus musculus
4 These results demonstrate that in mice lacking T-bet bleomycin induced exaggerated skin fibrosis, suggesting that T-bet has an important physiologic role in regulation of tissue repair by promoting Th1 immune responses that prevent excessive ECM accumulation. Bleomycin T-box 21 Mus musculus
