Laurent et al. explored the cultured lung fibroblast transcriptome of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; mRNAs encoding LIMS2, ASB1, and HHAT were upregulated and those encoding TRANK1, IFIT1, and SLC15A3 were downregulated [37]. This evidence concerns the gene TRANK1 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
