Figure 6From: Overexpression of cathepsin K during silica-induced lung fibrosis and control by TGF-βTGF-β1 downregulates Cat K mRNA expression in human lung fibroblasts. Quantification of Cat K mRNA in human pulmonary fibroblasts incubated with 10 ng TGF-β1/ml (TGF-beta) or non-treated. Values are presented as means ± SEM (5 culture-wells for each condition, P = 0.053).Back to article page
