HMGB1-TLR4-IL23-IL17A axis promotes paraquat-induced acute lung injury by mediating neutrophil infiltration in mice

Abstract Paraquat is a poisoning herbicide that primarily targets lung, leading to severe acute lung injury characterized by extensive neutrophil infiltration. However, the mechanisms underlying the neutrophil infiltration is not clear. In this study, we demonstrated the significance of the signalin...
