Enhanced hepatocyte growth factor signaling by type II transforming growth factor-beta receptor knockout fibroblasts promotes mammary tumorigenesis.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) plays complex dual roles as an inhibitor and promoter of tumor progression. Although the influence of the stromal microenvironment on tumor progression is well recognized, little is known about the functions of TGF-beta signaling in the stroma during tumor progression. Using cre-lox technology, expression of the type II TGF-beta receptor was selectivel...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor -beta receptor signaling in cancer.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is an ubiquitous cytokine that affects various biological processes, such as regulation of cell proliferation, immune responses, growth, differentiation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis of various cell types. The TGF-beta ligand initiates signaling by binding to and joining type I and II receptors of serine/threonine kinases. This review discusses the TGF-...
متن کاملTGFBR 3 ( transforming growth factor , beta receptor III )
TbetaRIII is an 853 amino acid transmembrane proteoglycan, which contains a short 41 amino acid cytoplasmic domain. TbetaRIII is a proteoglycan which contains glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chain modifications (S535 and S546) composed of heparin and chondroitin sulfate. The TbetaRIII core has predicted molecular weight of 100 kDa, however fully processed TbetaRIII migrates at an apparent molecula...
متن کاملLatent transforming growth factor binding protein 4 regulates transforming growth factor beta receptor stability.
Mutations in the gene for the latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4 (LTBP4) cause autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1C. To understand the molecular disease mechanisms of this disease, we investigated the impact of LTBP4 loss on transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling. Despite elevated extracellular TGFβ activity, downstream signaling molecules of the TGFβ pathway, ...
متن کاملPlasma levels of Transforming Growth Factor Beta in HIV-1 patients with oral candidiasis
Background and Purpose: TGF-β is a potent regulator and suppressor of the immune system and overproduction of this cytokine may contribute to immunosuppression in HIV-infected patients. Increasing population of immunosuppressed patients has resulted in increasingly frequent of fungal infections, including oral candidiasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma levels of TGF-&bet...
