Sensitivity to bleomycin-induced lung injury is not moderated by an antigen-limited T-cell repertoireThomas H Thatcher
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Exp Lung Res 31:685-700. 2005..In fact, there is no difference in the inflammatory or fibrotic response to bleomycin between TCRbeta transgenic and control mice. Thus, if T cells are required for fibrogenesis, it must involve an antigen-independent mechanism...

Oropharyngeal aspiration of a silica suspension produces a superior model of silicosis in the mouse when compared to intratracheal instillationHeather F Lakatos
Department of Environmental Medicine and Lung Biology and Disease Program, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Exp Lung Res 32:181-99. 2006..Oropharyngeal aspiration should be considered as an alternative to intratracheal instillation of silica and other particulates in studies of respiratory toxicity and lung disease...
Transglutaminase 2 and its role in pulmonary fibrosisKeith C Olsen
University of Rochester, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 184:699-707. 2011..Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a deadly progressive disease with few treatment options. Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a multifunctional protein, but its function in pulmonary fibrosis is unknown...
Lung-targeted overexpression of the NF-κB member RelB inhibits cigarette smoke-induced inflammationDavid H McMillan
Department of Environmental Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York 14642, USA
Am J Pathol 179:125-33. 2011..Therefore, increased expression and/or activation of RelB could be a novel therapeutic strategy against acute lung inflammation caused by respirable agents and possibly against chronic injury, such as COPD...
PPARgamma agonists inhibit TGF-beta induced pulmonary myofibroblast differentiation and collagen production: implications for therapy of lung fibrosisHeather A Burgess
Department of Environmental Medicine, Univ. of Rochester School of Medicine, 601 Elmwood Ave, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 288:L1146-53. 2005..Thus PPARgamma agonists have novel and potent antifibrotic effects in human lung fibroblasts and may have potential for therapy of fibrotic diseases in the lung and other tissues...

Department of Medicine, Univ of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 295:L412-21. 2008....
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-deficient mice develop heightened inflammatory responses to cigarette smoke and endotoxin associated with rapid loss of the nuclear factor-kappaB component RelBThomas H Thatcher
Department of Medicine, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14642, USA

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ B cell-specific-deficient mice have an impaired antibody responseSesquile Ramon
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
J Immunol 189:4740-7. 2012..This is the first report, to our knowledge, to show that, under physiological conditions, PPARγ expression in B cells is required for an efficient B cell-mediated immune response as it regulates B cell differentiation and Ab production...

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 46:3913-21. 2005..Thus, therapies that interfere with CD40-CD40L signaling, antigen expression by fibroblasts, or T-cell function may be effective in preventing progression of GO symptoms...
