["Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is the key fibrogenic cytokine associated with Peyronie's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to determine the antifibrotic effect of 3-((5-(6-Methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinoxalin-6-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl) methyl)benzamide (IN-1130), a small-molecule inhibitor of the TGF-β type I receptor activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5), in fibroblasts isolated from human PD plaque.", 'Plaque tissue from a patient with PD was used for primary fibroblast culture, and we then characterized primary cultured cells. Fibroblasts were pretreated with IN-1130 (10 µM) and then stimulated with TGF-β1 protein (10 ng/ml). We determined the inhibitory effect of IN-1130 on TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 or the nuclear translocation of Smad proteins in fibroblasts. Western blot analyses for plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, fibronectin, collagen I, and collagen IV were performed to evaluate effect of IN-1130 on the production of extracellular matrix proteins.', 'The treatment of fibroblasts with TGF-β1 significantly increased phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 and induced translocation of Smad proteins from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Pretreatment with IN-1130 substantially inhibited TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 and nuclear accumulation of Smad proteins. The TGF-β1-induced production of extracellular matrix proteins was also significantly inhibited by treatment with IN-1130 and returned to basal levels.'] Does activin Receptor-Like Kinase 5 Inhibitor attenuate Fibrosis in Fibroblasts Derived from Peyronie 's Plaque?
