Pathological changes in the biomechanical environment are implicated in the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Stiffened matrix augments fibroblast proliferation and differentiation and activates TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor-β1). Stiffened matrix impairs the synthesis of the antifibrogenic lipid mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and reduces the expression of the rate-limiting prostanoid biosynthetic enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). We now show that prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES), the final enzyme in the PG
