ROS scavenging mitigates TNFα-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial fragmentation in human airway smooth muscle
The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) mediates airway responses to acute inflammation. Previously we demonstrated that, in human airway smooth muscle (hASM) cells, TNFα increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. TNFα also selectively activates the inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (pIRE1αS...
