Human lung fibroblasts were growth-arrested and were then stimulated with TGFβ1 (10 ng/ml). The RNA was collected at the times shown, and the RQ of α-SMA, FnEDA, bikunin (Bik), and TSG-6 were determined by RT-qPCR. Data shown are the mean ± S.E. of five independent experiments, each of which generated a mean of three replicates. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.005 compared with 0 h.
