FGF9 prevents pleural fibrosis induced by intrapleural adenovirus injection in mice

…, V Besnard, J Marchal-Sommé… - … of Physiology-Lung …, 2017 - journals.physiology.org
Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is necessary for fetal lung development and is expressed
by epithelium and mesothelium. We evaluated the role of FGF9 overexpression on adenoviral…

Altered Nrf2/Keap1-Bach1 equilibrium in pulmonary emphysema

D Goven, A Boutten, V Leçon-Malas, J Marchal-Sommé… - Thorax, 2008 - thorax.bmj.com
Background: Oxidative stress, resulting from the increased oxidative burden and decreased

Cutting edge: nonproliferating mature immune cells form a novel type of organized lymphoid structure in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

J Marchal-Sommé, Y Uzunhan… - The Journal of …, 2006 - journals.aai.org
Ectopic formation of secondary lymphoid tissue is initiated by the local attraction of naive T
and B cells. In this study, we describe a novel type of organized lymphoid structure in the lung …

Three‐dimensional investigation and scoring of extracellular matrix remodeling during lung fibrosis using multiphoton microscopy

…, A Fabre, D Débarre, J MarchalSomme… - Microscopy research …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
The organization of collagen during fibrotic processes is poorly characterized because of the
lack of appropriate methodologies. Here we show that multimodal multiphoton microscopy …

[HTML][HTML] The hedgehog system machinery controls transforming growth factor-β–dependent myofibroblastic differentiation in humans: Involvement in idiopathic …

…, EF Moshai, S Brayer, J Marchal-Somme… - The American journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease of unknown cause. Key signaling
developmental pathways are aberrantly expressed in IPF. The hedgehog pathway plays a …

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 nuclear translocation induces myofibroblastic dedifferentiation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

…, A Hamimi, V Besnard, J Marchal-Somme… - Antioxidants & redox …, 2013 - liebertpub.com

(IPF), especially in myofibroblastic differentiation. We aimed at testing the hypothesis that …

Modulation of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis by serotonin receptor antagonists in mice

A Fabre, J Marchal-Somme… - European …, 2008 - Eur Respiratory Soc
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is known to increase proliferation and collagen
synthesis by fibroblasts. Two receptor subtypes, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B, have been shown to play …

Inhibition of HSP27 blocks fibrosis development and EMT features by promoting Snail degradation
