Abstract
Silica has been known to be a factor in acute cell injury and chronic pulmonary fibrosis. In Rat2 fibroblasts, silica induced the activation of NFkB, which plays a crucial role in regulating the expression of many genes involved in the subsequent inflammatory response. In addition, we observed that TAK1 and NIK were involved in silica-mediated NF-kB activation in Rat2 cells. (omitted)
