TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CTGF is expressed in lung fibroblasts and may play a role in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upregulation of the PDGF-alpha receptor precedes asbestos-induced lung fibrosis in rats
TL;DR: In vivo observations suggest a scenario in which a potent lung mesenchymal cell mitogen, PDGF-AA, and its alpha-receptor are upregulated prior to the development of a fibroproliferative lung lesion, and thus may play a central role in the pathogenesis of asbestos-induced lung fibrosis.
