HB-EGF-induced IL-8 secretion from airway epithelium leads to lung fibroblast proliferation and migration
Abstract Background We have reported that heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) is increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and associated with collagen deposition, but the mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigated the inflamm...
