Stricture formation occurs in ?30% of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and is a significant cause of morbidity. Strictures are characterized by intestinal smooth muscle cell hyperplasia, smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, and fibrosis due to excess net extracellular matrix production, including collagen. Transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) has profibrotic effects in many tissues due to its ability to regulate collagen expression and extracellular matrix dynamics. We previously showed that both insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and TGF-?1 are expressed by normal human intestinal smooth muscle cells, bind to, and activate TGF-?RII/I receptors in these cells.
