"To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which USP13 modulates ECM expression , we focused on the role of USP13 on Smad4 expression ."

eidos
"The results indicate that USP13 promotes ECM expression by stabilizing Smad4 in lung fibroblasts and plays a role in the maintenance of the extracellular matrix in lungs ."

eidos
"We used a mild CS exposure system and found that USP13 deficiency caused loss of extracellular matrix , increased lung inflammation and enlargement of alveolar spaces in response to CS exposure ."

eidos
"28 In this study , we identify that USP13 promotes ECM expression by stabilizing Smad4 in lung fibroblast cells ."

eidos
"Taken together , USP13 deficiency causes loss in extracellular matrix levels in lungs , thereby enlarging alveolar space in response to CS exposure ."
