Inhibition of Pirfenidone on TGF-beta2 Induced Proliferation, Migration and Epithlial-Mesenchymal Transition of Human Lens Epithelial Cells Line SRA01/04

Abstract

Pirfenidone inhibits TGF-β2-induced proliferation, migration and epithlial-mesenchymal transition of human lens epithelial cells line SRA01/04 at nontoxic concentrations. This effect may be achieved by down regulation of TGF-β/SAMD signaling in SRA01/04 cells.
