Increased constitutive αSMA and Smad2/3 expression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis myofibroblasts is K(Ca)3.1-dependent

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a common and invariably fatal disease with limited therapeutic options. Ca(2+)-activated K(Ca)3.1 potassium channels play a key role in promoting TGFβ1 and bFGF-dependent profibrotic responses in human lung myofibroblasts (HLMFs). We hypothesised that K(C...
