Tissue fibrosis is a common pathway to organ injury and failure. It is characterized by an excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in organs. Deciphering the fibrogenic processes is of utmost importance, as there are few effective therapies in fibrotic diseases 1. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a prototypical disease where fibroblasts (Fb) are key effector cells as they differentiate into myofibroblasts in response to chronic inflammation under the influence of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) pathway 2–4. In this study, we compared the proteome of primary Fb in different culture and stimulation conditions. Primary dermal normal human Fb were cultured at passage P3, P5 and P7 with and without Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). At fifth passage, Fb were stimulated or not with different concentrations of recombinant human active TGF-β1 (0.04, 1 and 5 ng/mL) during 24, 48 and 72 hours.
