1 METHODS: Primary culture epithelial cells pretreated with TGF-beta1 were incubated with rosiglitazone. Rosiglitazone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: TGF-beta1-stimulated collagen type I and fibronectin expression of ADPKD cyst-lining epithelia were inhibited by rosiglitazone in a dosage-dependent manner. Rosiglitazone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 Rosiglitazone suppressed TGF-beta1 induced Smad2 activation, while ERK1/2 and P38MAPK signals remained unaffected. Rosiglitazone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
4 Rosiglitazone could also attenuate TGF-beta1-stimulated collagen type I and fibronectin expression in primary renal tubular epithelial cells, but had no effect on TGF-beta1-induced activation of Smad2, ERK1/2 and P38 pathways. Rosiglitazone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
5 Rosiglitazone could suppress TGF-beta1-induced collagen type I and fibronectin expression in ADPKD cyst-lining epithelia through modulation of the Smad2 pathway. Rosiglitazone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
