From: Dexamethasone and Salbutamol Stimulate Human Lung Fibroblast Proliferation
The influence of salbutamol on eotaxin-induced bronchial fibroblast proliferation. Fibroblasts were preincubated with salbutamol (10-5-10-8 M) for 30 minutes. Eotaxin (500 ng/mL) was then added to the wells for an additional 48 hours. In the control, the fibroblasts were incubated with medium alone or with eotaxin alone. In medium alone, counts per minute of [H3]-Thymidine incorporation were 330 ± 5. Data are the mean ± standard error of the mean of 5 experiments performed in triplicates. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.0001.
