摘要: Due to its immunosuppressive properties, the cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta has become a promising target in experimental treatment of human malignant gliomas. Here, we report that antifibrotic drug 5-methyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H)-pyridone (pirfenidone, PFD) elicits growth-inhibitory effects and reduces TGF-beta2 protein levels glioma cell lines. This reduction is biologically relevant since PFD inhibition TGF-beta-sensitive CCL-64 cells mediated by conditioned media cells. The downregulation TGF-beta at multiple levels. leads mRNA mature due decreased expression direct pro-protein convertase furin. In addition, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-11, gene furin substrate involved carcinogenesis. These data define or PFD-related agents as for cancers associated with enhanced activity.
