Transforming growth factor beta 1 induces methylation changes in lung fibroblasts
11 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a complex disease of unknown etiology. Environmental factors can affect disease susceptibility via epigenetic effects. Few studies explore global DNA methylation in lung fibroblasts, but none have focused on transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) as a potential modifier of the DNA methylome.
