ANKRD22 contributes to NF-κB-associated inflammatory responses in alveolar type II epithelial cells during PM2.5-triggered airway inflammation
Background PM2.5 causes multifaceted detrimental effects on human health. Alveolar type II epithelial (AT-II) cells serve critical function in PM2.5-induced airway inflammation. However, the mechanism remains unclear. Methods ANKRD22 expression in AT-II cells was assessed in a PM2.5-induced mouse airway inflammation mo...
