Tranilast inhibits TGF-β-induced collagen gel contraction mediated by human corneal fibroblasts
AIM: To determine if tranilast affects human corneal fibroblast (HCFs) contraction. METHODS: HCFs cultured in a three-dimensional type I collagen gel were treated with or without transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) or tranilast. Gel diameter was measured as an indicator for collagen contraction...
