Figure 6. Fibulin-1C peptide 1 (FBLN1C1) decreases TGFβ1 release in lung fibroblasts.

Figure 6

Fibroblasts were seeded in 12-well plates, coated with (black bars), without FBLN1C1 10 μg/ml (PBS, open bars) or with plasma fibronectin 3 μg/ml (shaded bars), in 0.1% FBS DMEM. After 3 days, supernatants were collected and the levels of total soluble TGFβ1 were measured using ELISA. The results are TGFβ1 concentration corrected with cell number and expressed as mean ± SEM. Control N = 5, COPD N = 4, PF N = 9. * P < 0.05, significantly different from PBS; # P < 0.05, significant difference between COPD and PF at basal levels; two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post test was performed.
