Transforming 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 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 β is dispensable for the molecular orchestration of Th17 cell differentiation
Interleukin (IL)-17-producing T helper (Th17) cells play a critical role in the pathophysiology of several autoimmune disorders. The differentiation of Th17 cells requires the simultaneous presence of an unusual combination of cytokines: IL-6, a proinflammatory cytokine, and transforming growth factor (TGF) beta, an antiinflammatory cytokine. However, the molecular mechanisms by which TGF-beta ...
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-alpha acts as an autocrine growth factor in ovarian carcinoma cell lines.
The potential of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) to function as an autocrine growth factor was evaluated in numerous ovarian carcinoma cell lines. All 17 lines which were examined expressed the epidermal growth factor receptor and 16 cell lines, in addition, concomitantly secreted TGF-alpha. Radioimmunoassay of processed serum-free-conditioned medium indicated TGF-alpha concentrati...
