Inhibition of Integrin αvβ6, an Activator of Latent Transforming Growth Factor-β, Prevents Radiation-induced Lung Fibrosis

Rationale: In experimental models, lung fibrosis is dependent on transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling. TGF-β is secreted in a latent complex with its propeptide, and TGF-β activators release TGF-β from this complex. Because the integrin αvβ6 is a major TGF-β activator in the lung, inhibition...
