Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) plays a pivotal role in the fibrogenic action involved in theinduction of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), extracellular matrix and fibroblast transformation. Smad3 mediates TGF-beta signaling related to the fibrotic response. In human lung fibroblasts or bronchial smooth muscle cells, we demonstrated that an increase in the intracellular glutathione level suppressed TGF-beta 1-induced phosphorylation of Smad3, while inhibiting TGF-beta 1-induced expressions of CTGF, collagen type1, fibronectin and transformation into myofibroblasts, which are characterized by the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin. These data indicate that the intracellular glutathione redox status regulates TGF-beta-induced fibrogenic effects through Smad3 activation. (C) 2008 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
