Abstract:Objectives: The Notch signaling pathway serves as the key regulator of the biological functions of macrophages and may affect the role of macrophages in the development of pigeon breeder’s lung (PBL). This study investigated the possible association of the Notch signaling pathway with the development of fibrotic PBL based on regulation of the polarization of macrophages. Methods: Normal Sprague‒Dawley rats and rats with pigeon exfoliation-induced fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis were selected. DAPT was u… Show more
