The mechanisms of chemical pleurodesis are still not fully explained. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using primary biopsy-derived human mesothelial cells to establish an in vitro culture and to assess the response of pleural mesothelial cells to different sclerosing agents. Talc, povidone-iodine, doxycycline, and TGF-β were used at different doses to stimulate pleural mesothelial cells. After 6 and 24 h, mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TGF-β, MCP-1, IL-17A, and MMP9 was measured in cultured cells, and th
