## Abstract Bleomycin produces its fibrogenic effect, at least in part, by TGF‐β1 secretion. Treatment of IMR‐90 human embryonic lung fibroblasts with bleomycin at 0.5 μg/ml results in a 1.6‐fold increase of TGF‐β1 as determined by a specific ELISA assay for TGF‐β1 after acidification of the condit
## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ) controls expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI‐1), which regulates degradation of extracellular matrix proteins in fibrotic diseases. The TGFβ receptor‐specific Smad 3 has been implicated in the PAI‐1 expression. The mechanism by w
