Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: C/EBPδ deficient mice developed pulmonary fibrosis to a similar degree as wildtype mice as evident from similar Ashcroft scores, hydroxyproline levels and expression levels of collagen, fibronectin and α-smooth muscle actin at both 14 and 21 days after bleomycin instillation. The resolution of fibrosis, assessed at 48 days after bleomycin instillation, was also similar in wildtype and C/EBPδ deficient mice. In line with the lack of effect of C/EBPδ on fibrosis progression/resolution, macrophage recruitment and/or differentiation were also not different in wildtype or C/EBPδ deficient mice. CONCLUSIONS: RELEVANCE FOR PATIENTS:
