TGF-β1 induces EMMPRIN Expression and MMP-2 activation in normal human lung fibroblasts; inhibition of MMP-2 activation by EMMPRIN functional blocking antibody: (a) A representative Western blot showing the expression of EMMPRIN in the cell lysates from NHLF stimulated with TGF-β1 compared to control untreated cells. β-Tubulin was used as the loading control. b A representative zymography demonstrating MMP-2 activation in the conditioned media from NHLF stimulated with TGF-β1 compared to the control untreated cells and inhibition of MMP-2 activation by EMMPRIN functional blocking antibody (n = 3 independent experiments, each run in duplicate)
