1 All-trans-retinoic acid also inhibited the TGF-beta-induced phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) as well as that of c-Jun and Smad2/3.

2 CONCLUSIONS: All-trans-retinoic acid inhibited TGF-beta-induced collagen gel contraction mediated by HTFs, most likely by attenuating the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions as well as signaling by MAPKs, c-Jun, and Smads.
