1 We investigated the effects of fluticasone on transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta- and cigarette smoke-induced changes in mothers against decapentaplegic homolog (Smad) signaling and extracellular matrix (ECM) production in airway and parenchymal lung fibroblasts from patients with severe COPD. Fluticasone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 We showed that TGF-beta-induced ECM production by pulmonary fibroblasts, but not activation of the Smad pathway, was sensitive to the effects of fluticasone. Fluticasone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 Fluticasone induced decorin production by airway fibroblasts and partly reversed the negative effects of TGF-beta treatment. Fluticasone transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
