Endothelin-1 induces expression of matrix-associated genes in lung fibroblasts through MEK/ERK.
- Abstract:
-
The endothelins are a family of endothelium-derived peptides that possess a variety of biological activities, including potent vasoconstriction. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is up-regulated during tissue repair and pulmonary fibrosis. Here, we use genome-wide expression array analysis to show that the addition of ET-1 (100 nm, 4 h) to normal lung fibroblasts directly induces expression of matrix and matrix-associated genes, including the profibrotic protein CCN2 (connective tissue growth factor, or CT...
