Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is one of the important cell factors which cause the fibrous function, and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is considered to be the downstream factor of TGF-β, mediates fibrosis of TGF-β. TGF-β induces the expression of CTGF through multiple signal transduction pathways in promoting fibrosis. This article provides a brief summary of the research progress in this area.
