Quantification of the % of cells stained positive for intracellular collagen after 7 days demonstrated that IL1β alone had no effect, that TGFβ1 notably induced collagen synthesis, and that the combination of TGFβ1 with IL1β showed a clear trend of decreasing collagen type I synthesis in both HDFa and HLFa ( Fig. 6D–F ).
