Effect of GC on the activation of TGF-β. Equal numbers of KS cells were seeded and treated with HC (10−6 mol/L). The supernatants were collected at various time points, removed of cell debris by centrifugation, and the levels of latent and active form of TGF-β were measured by the mink lung epithelial cell assay in triplicate. The results are presented as mean ± SE.
