Differential Proliferative Characteristics of Alveolar Fibroblasts in Interstitial Lung Diseases: Regulative Role of IL-1 and PGE2 by Elizabeth Fireman, Shlomo Ben Efraim, Joel Greif, Hava Peretz, Shmuel Kivity, Marcel Topilsky, Yosef Rodrig, A. Yellin, Ron N. Apte

“…As SA and HP are two diseases where irreversible deterioration occurs in only 20% of the patients, we hypothesize that mediators in the lung may modulate Fb proliferation. IL-1 of AM origin and PGE2 of Fb origin secreted at high levels, may be candidates for this suppression because it was abrogated by anti IL-1β and indomethacin.…”
