miR-1224-5p Mediates Mitochondrial Damage to Affect Silica-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis by Targeting BECN1.

To explore whether BECN1 participates in silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis, we tested the BECN1 levels in fibrotic lung tissue and found that BECN1 exhibited a decreasing trend on day 14 and day 28 after silica treatment compared with those in the saline group ( Figure 4 C and Supplementary Table S6 ).
