## Abstract ## Objective There is evidence that interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) plays a major role in the induction of extracellular matrix protein synthesis in fibrotic disease. We therefore examined the effect of IL‐4 on collagen synthesis in primary fibroblasts isolated from normal and TSK/+ mice, which s
## Abstract Type V collagen is a “minor” component of normal human breast stroma, which is subjected to over‐deposition in cases of ductal infiltrating carcinoma (DIC). We reported that, if used as a culture substrate for the DIC cell line 8701‐BC, it exhibited poorly‐adhesive properties and restra
## Abstract The α2(I) collagen gene shows cell type‐specific expression, however, the mechanism behind this specificity remains to be determined. We demonstrate here that transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β)‐mediated induction of α2(I) collagen gene is regulated by DNA methylation in a cell type
