A72 MECHANISMS DRIVING FIBROSIS: Syndecan-2 Inhibits Myofibroblast Differentiation In Tgf-β1-Stimulated Fibroblasts Through Receptor Type Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Eta Activation

Recently, our group demonstrated that Syndecan-2 (SDC2) is potent antifibrotic protein in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-ß signaling and lung epithelial cell death. [...]the role of SDC2 in fibroblast activation during fibrosis is still unknown. [...]this study is focused on...

Zusammenfassung:Recently, our group demonstrated that Syndecan-2 (SDC2) is potent antifibrotic protein in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-ß signaling and lung epithelial cell death. [...]the role of SDC2 in fibroblast activation during fibrosis is still unknown. [...]this study is focused on the understanding the role of SDC2 in fibroblast activation and myofibroblast differentiation and the importance of receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase n (PTPRJ/CD148/DEP-1, endogenous receptor for SDC2), in SDC2 mediated effect.
