What is Thy-1 Regulates Fibroblast Apoptosis in Lung about?
This document discusses how the cell surface protein Thy-1 interacts with the death receptor Fas in lipid rafts to regulate fibroblast apoptosis and the resolution of lung injury. Experiments showed that Thy-1 expression promotes apoptosis in lung fibroblasts through Fas, Bcl, and caspase pathways. Mice lacking Thy-1 had decreased myofibroblast apoptosis and failed resolution of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis.
