The relative expression was normalized with ribosomal protein S29. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three separate experiments, (*P<0.05). <b>(B)</b> Fibroblasts were treated with 500 μM of 4-MU4-deoxy-xyloside and/or TGF-β1 (5 ng/ml) for 24 h and the total and active TGF-β1 levels were measured by ELISA in cell culture supernatants as described in Materials and methods section.</p> 2016-01-18 15:12:56 attenuates profibrotic effects Counteract Excessive Matrix Proteoglycan Deposition tgf Proteoglycan Synthesis Pathway mu lung fibroblasts matrix PG deposition fibrosis Lung Fibroblasts Stimulation PG synthesis
