Abstract
- The αvβ6 integrin is key in activating the pro-fibrotic cytokine TGFβ in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Here, the authors show an inhaled small molecule αvβ6 inhibitor GSK3008348 induces prolonged inhibition of TGFβ signaling pathways in human and murine models of lung fibrosis via αvβ6 degradation.
