Everolimus (EVE) is a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTOR-I) widely used in transplantation that may determine some severe adverse events, including pulmonary fibrosis. The pathogenic mechanism of mTOR-I-associated pulmonary toxicity is still unclear, but epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of bronchial/pulmonary cells may play a role.

Abstract

Everolimus (EVE) is a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTOR-I) widely used in transplantation that may determine some severe adverse events, including pulmonary fibrosis. The pathogenic mechanism of mTOR-I-associated pulmonary toxicity is still unclear, but epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of bronchial/pulmonary cells may play a role.
