“…Since then, its inhibitory effects have been reported on the proliferation of a range of cell types: dermal fibroblasts [56,75], myofibroblasts [59], microvascular endothelial cells [76], vascular smooth muscle cells [77,78], and mesangial cells [79]. In addition to normal cells, tranilast exerts an anti-proliferative influence on several tumor cells, such as; smooth muscle cells hyperplasia [80], pancreatic cancer cells [81], uterine leiomyoma cells [82], malignant glioma cells [83], gastric cancer cells [84,85], prostate cancer cells [86], breast cancer cells [87][88][89], neurofibroma cells [90] and squamous cell carcinoma [58].…”
