Membranes were sequentially hybridized with radioactive probes for α2(I) procollagen and GAPDH and scanned with a PhosphorImager (Molecular Dynamics, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) for mRNA quantitation.
In vitro , procollagen gene expression increases in human liver cells after exposure to lipid peroxide breakdown products [ 16].
Membranes were sequentially hybridized with radioactive probes for α2(I) procollagen and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and scanned with a PhosphorImager (Molecular Dynamics, Inc, Sunnyvale, CA) for mRNA quantitation.
On the other hand, PGI 2 decreases vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and collagen and glycosaminoglycane synthesis, via activation of adenylyl cyclase and subsequent production of cAMP [ 17 ] . Betaprost, an analog of PGI 2 , decreases procollagen I and III mRNA expression in cardiac fibroblasts [ 18 ] . These effects may counteract the profibrotic effects seen with TXA 2 and it is possible that an alteration of a "normal" physiologic balance between PGI 2 and TXA 2 could increase tendency towards fibrogenesis.
