Proteomic analysis of CTGF-activated lung fibroblasts: identification of IQGAP1 as a key player in lung fibroblast migration
2 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF, CCN2) is overexpressed in lung fibroblasts isolated from patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma) and is considered to be a molecular marker of fibrosis. To understand the significance of elevated CTGF, we investigated the changes in lung fibroblast proteome in response to CTGF overexpression. Using 2-dimensional gel...
