Abstract

Platelets are a rich source of profibrotic TGFβ; however, the role of platelets in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is unclear. We identified that patients with IPF have significantly more platelets, neutrophils, and active TGFβ in their airways than control patients. Using an animal model of IPF, we demonstrated that platelet-derived TGFβ does not significantly drive lung fibrosis or inflammation. Our findings offer a better understanding of platelets in both human and animal studies of IPF.
