Differential topical susceptibility to TGFβ in intact and injured regions of the epithelium: key role in myofibroblast transition

Induction of epithelial–myofibroblast transition (EMyT), a robust fibrogenic phenotype change hallmarked by α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression, requires transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ) and the absence/uncoupling of intracellular contacts. This suggests that an “injured” epithelium may be to...
