OBJECTIVE: The effects of pirfenidone were investigated on cultured human pterygium fibroblasts (HPFs).
METHODS: HPFs were obtained from pterygium surgery and subjected to primary culture. After treatment with 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 mg/mL pirfenidone, MTT and cell migration assays were performed, and procollagen secretion and TGF-β expression were measured by Western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis.
RESULTS: Pirfenidone had a significant inhibitory effect on HPF proliferation, migration and collagen synthesis. There were no differences between the cells treated with 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/mL pirfenidone and the controls in the MTT assay. After 48 h of treatment with 1.0 or 1.5 mg/mL pirfenidone, TGF-β expression was significantly decreased.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that pirfenidone inhibits the proliferation, migration and procollagen secretion of HPFs at nontoxic concentrations by decreasing TGF-β expression. Thus, pirfenidone may be considered as a safe adjuvant for pterygium surgery to prevent recurrence.
