Combinatorial signaling pathways determine fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation

1 Mar 2004

Abstract excerpt

Fibroblast proliferation, differentiation into myofibroblasts, and increased collagen synthesis are key events during both normal wound repair and fibrotic lesion formation. Here we report that these biological responses to TGF-beta by fibroblasts are regulated via a CTGF-dependent pathway in concert with either EGF or IGF-2. Our studies indicate these responses to TGF-beta are mutually exclusive, and cells that...
