TGF-β1 promotes transition of mesothelial cells into fibroblast phenotype in response to peritoneal injury in a cell culture model.

• Peritoneal adhesions are a clinical problem. A key to the understanding of peritoneal adhesions is to study the healing of mesothelial cells within the peritoneal cavity following surgery. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-βs) affects this healing process. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different concentrations of TGF-β1 on the healing rate and healing properties of mesothelial cells.
