Abstract Background Little is known on the role of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) in fibroblast—myofibroblast transition (FMT) that can lead to airway remodeling which is a major problem for severe asthma and fibrosis. Thus, this study investigated the effect of TRPA1 modulators on transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) -treated lung fibroblasts. Methods MRC-5 cells were preincubated with TGF-β1 for 24 h. TRPA1 agonist or antagonist were added and further incubated for 24 h. The changes in TRPA1 and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expressions by stimuli were evaluated using qRT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemical analyses. Statistical significance was determined by using one- or two-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc analysis for comparison of multiple groups and paired 2-tailed Student’s t-test between 2 groups. Results MRC-5 cells treated by TGF-β1 significantly upregulated α-SMA mRNA expressions (P |
