Endogenous endothelin-1 signaling contributes to type I collagen and CCN2 overexpression in fibrotic fibroblasts.
Fibrosis is excessive scarring caused by the accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins and is a common end pathway in many chronic diseases. Endothelin-1 is a possible contributor to the persistent fibrotic phenotype of fibroblasts isolated from fibrotic lesions. In this report we used a specifi...
