1 Fluorofenidone inhibits TGF-beta1 induced CTGF via MAPK pathways in mouse mesangial cells. 5-methyl-1-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-(1H)-pyridone cellular communication network factor 2 Mus musculus
2 The present study was designed to investigate the potential mechanism of fluorofenidone involving the downregulation of CTGF expression induced by TGF-beta1 and the related signaling pathway in mouse mesangial cells (MMCs). 5-methyl-1-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-(1H)-pyridone cellular communication network factor 2 Mus musculus
3 Fluorofenidone, PD98059 and SB203580 could partially inhibit TGF-beta1-induced expression of CTGF in mouse mesangial cells, however, JNK inhibitor II had no effect. 5-methyl-1-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-(1H)-pyridone cellular communication network factor 2 Mus musculus
4 Fluorofenidone, PD98059 and SB203580 could partially inhibit TGF-beta1-induced expression of CTGF in mouse mesangial cells, however, JNK inhibitor II had no effect. 2-(2-amino-3-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one cellular communication network factor 2 Mus musculus
5 Fluorofenidone, PD98059 and SB203580 could partially inhibit TGF-beta1-induced expression of CTGF in mouse mesangial cells, however, JNK inhibitor II had no effect. SB 203580 cellular communication network factor 2 Mus musculus
6 CONCLUSIONS: The antifibrotic effects of fluorofenidone are suggested to be mediated byits actions through inhibition of MAPK activation and consequent reduction of CTGF expression. 5-methyl-1-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-(1H)-pyridone cellular communication network factor 2 Mus musculus
