Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays a crucial role in chronic inflammation in various tissues, and is related to inflammation-caused organ fibrogenesis associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the deposition of the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the effect of TGF-β1 on bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) with mastitis, and its mechanism, remain unknown.
