Transforming growth factor-β
Dna2 was first characterized in yeast as an essential gene encoding a protein with both helicase and endonuclease activities involved in maturation of Okazaki fragments during DNA replication. Dna2 also plays a role in double-strand break (DSB) repair by homolo-gous recombination. The respective contributions of its replication and/or repair functions toward cell viability and resistance to gen...
متن کاملEffect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...
متن کاملLatent Transforming Growth Factor-β Binding Protein Domains Involved in Activation and Transglutaminase-dependent Cross-Linking of Latent Transforming Growth Factor-β
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is secreted by many cell types as part of a large latent complex composed of three subunits: TGF-beta, the TGF-beta propeptide, and the latent TGF-beta binding protein (LTBP). To interact with its cell surface receptors, TGF-beta must be released from the latent complex by disrupting noncovalent interactions between mature TGF-beta and its propeptide. ...
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 کاملLatent Transforming Growth Factor β-Binding Protein 4 Is Downregulated in Esophageal Cancer via Promoter Methylation
Latent transforming growth factor β-binding protein 4 (LTBP4) is an extracellular matrix molecule that is a member of important connective tissue networks and is needed for the correct folding and the secretion of TGF-β1. LTBP4 is downregulated in carcinomas of various tissues. Here we show that LTBP4 is also downregulated in adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus in vitr...
