The increase in TM extracellular matrix appears to be caused by transforming growth factor-\u03b2 signaling and its downstream mediator connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF). Here we studied whether treatment with the prostaglandin F2\u03b1 analog fluprostenol modulates the CTGF-mediated increase of the TM extracellular matrix.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Human TM cells from 3 different donors were treated with CTGF (50\u2009ng\/mL) and\/or fluprostenol (10\n                      <jats:sup>\u22126<\/jats:sup>\n                      M and 10\n                      <jats:sup>\u22127<\/jats:sup>\n                      M) and were analyzed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting.
