PTEN/PI3k/AKT regulates macrophage polarization in emphysematous mice
In conclusion, we confirmed that macrophage M2 polarization was induced in emphysematous mice generated by CS exposure combined with intraperitoneal injection of CSE. We also showed that M2 polarization was mediated through PTEN/PI3k/AKT pathway activation.
