TGF-β receptor activation is necessary and sufficient to induce ET-1 secretion. Pretreatment with SB431542 attenuated compression-induced EDN1 expression A and ET-1 secretion (B). **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001 vs vehicle; ##p < 0.01 vs compression alone. rhTGF-β1 (10 ng/ml) induced EDN1 expression C and ET-1 secretion D *p < 0.05 vs vehicle. Each data point represents the mean of duplicate transwells of differentiated HBE cells from each donor (mean ± SD; A, B: n = 3 distinct donors, C, D: n = 6 distinct donors)
