The differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is considered to be a critical step in activation and progression of cardiac fibrosis in heart disease. TGF-β is one of the key cytokines that promotes transition of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. Dedifferentiation of formed myofibroblasts or reversal of formed myofibroblasts to fibroblasts remains incompletely understood. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been shown to dedifferentiate human lung myofibroblasts. The role of activation of the COX-2/PGE2 pathway in dedifferen
