Paraquat poisoning induced pulmonary epithelial mesenchymal transition through Notch1 pathway

Abstract Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is the most characteristic feature of subacute PQ poisoning. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is reported to be involved in the pulmonary fibrosis after PQ exposure. Recent evidence suggested Notch signaling is required for EMT. In this study, we inv...
