MDM2 Is Essential to Maintain the Homeostasis of Epithelial Cells by Targeting p53.

Introduction: MDM2 is known as the primary negative regulator of p53, and MDM2 promotes lung cancer fibrosis and lung injury through p53-dependent and p53-independent pathways. However, the mechanism by which MDM2 influences the pathogenesis of asthma is unknown. In this study, we investigated the function of MDM2 in lung epithelial cells in type 2 lung inflammation.
