Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) stimulates myofibroblast transdifferentiation, leading to type I collagen accumulation and fibrosis. We investigated the function of Src in TGF-beta-induced collagen I accumulation. In human mesangial cells, PTyr416 Src (activated Src) was 3.3-fold higher in TGF-beta-treated cells than in controls. Src activation by TGF-beta was blocked by rottlerin and by a dominant...
