1 Northern blotting revealed significant increases in TGF-beta mRNA in bleomycin-stimulated endothelial cells. Bleomycin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Thus in vitro stimulation of endothelial cells by bleomycin upregulates TGF-beta production, presumably by increased transcription. Bleomycin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 In view of the chemotactic and matrix synthesis stimulatory properties of this cytokine, such an increase in TGF-beta production may play an important role in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Bleomycin transforming growth factor, beta 1 Rattus norvegicus
