We have provided evidence from adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to the peritoneum that transforming growth factor-β1 mimics many of the functional and structural changes in the peritoneum in patients on long-term peritoneal dialysis, including fibrosis, increased submesothelial thickness, angiogenesis, increased solute transport, and ultrafiltration dysfunction. We review several key properties of this important fibrogenic molecule.
