Objectives Interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis (SSc-ILD) is often an irreversible and progressive fibrosing process that now is the leading cause of scleroderma-related deaths. In this review we present our current understanding of the ro

Objective Myofibroblasts are the principal mesenchymal cells responsible for tissue remodeling, collagen deposition, and the restrictive nature of lung parenchyma associated with pulmonary fibrosis. We previously reported that thrombin activates prot

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF, CCN2) is overexpressed in lung fibroblasts isolated from patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma) and is considered to be a molecular marker of fibrosis. To underst

Objective To compare the composition of cytokines in African American and Caucasian patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) and in healthy individuals, particularly the expression and function of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Methods Br

Scleroderma, a disease involving excessive collagen deposition, can be studied using fibroblasts cultured from affected tissues. We find that curcumin, the active component of the spice turmeric, causes apoptosis in scleroderma lung fibroblasts (SLF)

Activated fibroblasts, or myofibroblasts, are crucial players in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and various fibrotic disorders, including interstitial lung fibrosis associated with scleroderma. Here we characterize the signaling pathways in normal

Myofibroblasts are ultrastructurally and metabolically distinctive fibroblasts that express smooth muscle (SM)-alpha actin and are associated with various fibrotic lesions. The present study was undertaken to investigate the myofibroblast phenotype t

Objective To determine whether the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C (TN-C) is overexpressed in lung fibroblasts from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients, the molecular mechanisms regulating TN-C secretion in SSc and normal lung fibroblasts, and
