چکیده

Following publication of our recent article [1], an error in Figure 5d was noticed. In Figure 5d, the β-actin blot corres ponding to α-SMA blot was captured on the chemi luminescence imaging system in an inverted orientation. Since this imager does not capture the protein marker, an error in the orientation of the membrane while capturing the picture of the blot occurred. During preparation of the fi gures for Figure 5d, the α-SMA blot was in right orientation but since orientation of β-actin blot was inverse as it was captured inversely resulted in non-corresponding β-actin blot with respect to α-SMA blot. We have rectifi ed this error now and β-actin blot now corresponds to α-SMA blot. Th e corrected fi gure 5 is given here as Figure 1 and a supplementary fi gure 1 (Additional fi le 1) showing another set of blots representing Figure 5d is also provided.

mPGES-1 null mice are resistant to bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis

INTRODUCTION Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is an inducible enzyme that acts downstream of cyclooxygenase (COX) to specifically catalyze the conversion of prostaglandin (PG) H2 to PGE2. mPGES-1 plays a key role in inflammation, pain and arthritis; however, the role of mPGES-1 in fibrogenesis is largely unknown. Herein, we examine the role of mPGES-1 in a mouse model of skin sc...

Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 deficiency exacerbates pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice.

Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1), an inducible enzyme that converts prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), plays an important role in a variety of diseases. So far, the role of mPGES-1 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remained unknown. The current study aimed to investigate the role of mPGES-1 in pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice. We found that m...

S100A9 aggravates bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis in mice via activation of ERK1/2 MAPK and NF-κB pathways

Objective(s): This study aims to investigate the pathogenicity and possible mechanisms of S100A9 function in mice models of scleroderma. Materials and Methods: The content of S100A9 in the skin tissues of mice with scleroderma was determined. Different concentrations of bleomycin (BLM) and S100A9 were subcutaneously injected into the backs of mice simultaneously, and then pathological changes i...

Effect of thalidomide on the alveolar epithelial cells in the lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice

Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a relentlessly progressive and usually fatal lung disease of unknown etiology for which no effective treatments currently exist. In the adults type I and II pneumocytes, forms Components of the alveolar epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of thalidomide on the alveolar epithelial cells (type I and II pneumocytes) in ...

Discoidin domain receptor 1-deficient mice are resistant to bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis.

RATIONALE Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) is a tyrosine kinase activated by native collagens. Based on previous findings showing increased DDR1 expression in bronchoalveolar lavage cells from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, we hypothesized that DDR1 mediates disease progression after lung injury. OBJECTIVES To investigate the inflammatory and fibrotic responses of DDR1 knockou...
