We previously described the profibrogenic effect of NGF on conjunctival Fibroblasts (FBs) and its ability to trigger apoptosis in TGFβ1-induced myofibroblasts (myoFBs). Herein, cell apoptosis/signalling, cytokines' signature in conditioned media and inflammatory as well as angiogenic pathway were investigated. Experimental myoFBs were exposed to NGF (0.1-100 ng/mL), at defined time-point for confocal and biomolecular analysis. Cells were analysed for apoptotic and cell signalling activation in c ...[more]
