Schematic representation of the role of PTEN in mediating EMT and cellular senescence in MV-PF. Proposed model: PTEN upregulation in mechanical ventilation-associated pulmonary fibrosis promotes P53-mediated epithial cell senescence, driving epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and fibrosis. PTEN knockout or inhibition ameliorates this cascade.
