Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) protein in the lungs. Transforming growth factor (TGF) β-induced ECM protein synthesis contributes to the development of IPF. Tranilast, an anti-allergy drug, suppresses TGFβ expression and inhibits interstitial renal fibrosis in animal models. However, the beneficial effects of tranilast or its mechanism as a therapy for pulmonary fibrosis have not been clarified. We investigated the in vitro effect of tranilast on ECM production and
