Inhibitory functions of maslinic acid on particulate matter-induced lung injury through TLR4-mTOR-autophagy pathways.

In conclusion, these findings indicate that MA has a critical anti-inflammatory effect due to its ability to regulate both the TLR4-MyD88 and mTOR-autophagy pathways and may thus be a potential therapeutic agent against diesel PM2.5-induced lung injury.
