Activated alveolar epithelial cells initiate fibrosis through autocrine and paracrine secretion of connective tissue growth factor
Fibrogenesis involves a pathological accumulation of activated fibroblasts and extensive matrix remodeling. Profibrotic cytokines, such as TGF-β, stimulate fibroblasts to overexpress fibrotic matrix proteins and induce further expression of profibrotic cytokines, resulting in progressive fibrosis. C...
