METHODS/RESULTS: Using permanent and primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells at air-liquid interface, we show that
DEPs activate the human MMP-1 gene via RAS and subsequent activation of RAF-MEK-ERK1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, which can be scaffolded by [beta]-arrestins.

The Environment Agency and the Construction Ministry plan to work out comprehensive measures to slash
DEPs, suspected carcinogen, in areas along Route 23 in Nagoya and its vicinities.
Diesel exhaust particles (
DEPs) are common airborne particulate matter that have diameters of < 2.5 [micro]m and contain adsorbed organic compounds, many of which are known to alter the pulmonary microsomal enzyme pool, which results in altered xenobiotic metabolism.
research has suggested that people who live in areas with high densities of airborne particulate matter, much of which is
DEPs, have a greater chance of dying from heart disease.
