Belperio et al. demonstrated that CCL17, CCL22 and CCR4 were overexpressed in a mice model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis [9], and Pignatti et al. showed that CCR4 expression on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid CD4 T cells were significantly elevated in IPF patients [10]. This evidence concerns the gene CCL17 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
