17β-estradiol inhibits TGF-β-induced collagen gel contraction mediated by human Tenon fibroblasts via Smads and MAPK signaling pathways

AIM: To investigate the impact of 17β-estradiol on the collagen gels contraction (CGC) and inflammation induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in human Tenon fibroblasts (HTFs). METHODS: HTFs were three-dimensionally cultivated in type I collagen-generated gels with or without TGF-β (5 ng/mL)...
