A Role for Endogenous Transforming Growth Factor β1 in Langerhans Cell Biology: The Skin of Transforming Growth Factor β1 Null Mice Is Devoid of Epidermal Langerhans Cells
Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) regulates leukocytes and epithelial cells. To determine whether the pleiotropic effects of TGF-beta 1, a cytokine that is produced by both keratinocytes and Langerhans cells (LC), extend to epidermal leukocytes, we characterized LC (the epidermal contingent of the dendritic cell [DC] lineage) and dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) in TGF-beta 1 nul...
متن کاملT Cell Death and Transforming Growth Factor β1
The TGF- family comprises many cytokines involved in the control of cell fate (1). Some of these have been shown to control cell death. For instance, at least one of the members of the BMP subfamily of the TGF- family is required in interdigital death, a classical model of developmentally programmed cell death (2). Another TGF- family member, TGF- 1, entertains a complicated relationship wi...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-β1 and diabetic nephropathy.
Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is established to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. The diabetic milieu enhances oxidative stress and induces the expression of TGF-β1. TGF-β1 promotes cell hypertrophy and extracellular matrix accumulation in the mesangium, which decreases glomerular filtration rate and leads to chronic renal failure. Recently, TGF-β1 has been demon...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-β1 in plaque morphea
INTRODUCTION Morphea (localized scleroderma) is a rare cutaneous disease characterized by skin fibrosis of unknown pathogenesis. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a potent profibrotic factor. The role of TGF-β in morphea remains unclear. AIM The goal of this study was to estimate the expression level of TGF-β1 in skin and peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as the plasma levels o...
متن کاملPossible role of transforming growth factor-β1 and vascular endothelial growth factor in Fabry disease nephropathy
Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-gal A), resulting in deposition of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3; also known as ceramide trihexoside) in the vascular endothelium of many organs. A gradual accumulation of Gb3 leads to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal dysfunction. Endothelial cel...
