In this light, other data should be mentioned that were collected from murine pulmonary fibroblast stimulated with TGFβ (Ramirez et al., 2010), human pulmonary fibroblast cell lines HPF and HFL1 (Zhu et al., 2021; Sobczak and Pawliczak, 2022), a murine model of IPF (Chang et al., 2021; Zhu et al., 2021), and a rat model of allergic asthma (Huang et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene CFHR1 and allergic asthma.
