I don't know. The specific role of prostaglandins in the cascade of processes leading to fibrosis is not clear to me.
Just came across some sources mentioning negative effect of PGD2 on inflammation (it probably precedes fibrosis). And that his counterparts, PGE/PGF2, have anti-fibrotic properties. As mentioned in many researches: "Prostaglandin E2 inhibits profibrotic function of human pulmonary fibroblasts by disrupting Ca2+ signaling", "Reversal of Myofibroblast Differentiation by Prostaglandin E2", etc.
Would be nice to clarify this point. Especially the linkage between PGD2 and TGFb. The last one is definitely the bad guy, provoking fibrosis. Here is more about the fibrosis itself:
