1 In this present study, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of magnolol on transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and fibronectin expression induced by high concentrations of glucose or S100b (a specific receptor of advance glycation end products ligand) in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (human RPE cells). magnolol S100 calcium binding protein B Homo sapiens
2 The increases in TGF-beta1 and fibronectin expression with high glucose or S100b were prevented by magnolol in a dose-dependent manner. magnolol S100 calcium binding protein B Homo sapiens
3 The present study demonstrates that high glucose- or S100b-induced TGF-beta1 and fibronectin expression, but this increased expression is inhibited by magnolol via the ERK/MAPK/Akt signaling pathway in human RPE cells. magnolol S100 calcium binding protein B Homo sapiens
