Regulation of myogenic differentiation by type beta transforming growth factor
Type beta transforming growth factor (TGF beta) has been shown to be both a positive and negative regulator of cellular proliferation and differentiation. The effects of TGF beta also are cell-type specific and appear to be modulated by other growth factors. In the present study, we examined the potential of TGF beta for control of myogenic differentiation. In mouse C-2 myoblasts, TGF beta inhi...
متن کاملRegulation of Lens Gap Junctions by Transforming Growth Factor Beta
Gap junction-mediated intercellular communication (GJIC) is essential for the proper function of many organs, including the lens. GJIC in lens epithelial cells is increased by FGF in a concentration-dependent process that has been linked to the intralenticular gradient of GJIC required for lens transparency. Unlike FGF, elevated levels of TGF-beta are associated with lens dysfunction. We show t...
متن کاملHierarchical model of gene regulation by transforming growth factor beta.
Transforming growth factor betas (TGF-betas) regulate key aspects of embryonic development and major human diseases. Although Smad2, Smad3, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have been proposed as key mediators in TGF-beta signaling, their functional specificities and interactivity in controlling transcriptional programs in different cell t...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor beta down-regulation of CKShs1 transcripts in growth-inhibited epithelial cells.
CKShs1 is a mammalian homologue of the yeast suc1 and CKS1 genes, for which the null mutation leads to arrest in both the G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Northern blot analysis revealed that transcript levels of CKShs1 are strongly down-regulated in mink lung cells and moderately down-regulated in BALB keratinocytes within 10 h of exposure to transforming growth ...
متن کاملConnective tissue growth factor mediates transforming growth factor beta-induced collagen synthesis: down-regulation by cAMP.
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteine-rich peptide synthesized and secreted by fibroblastic cells after activation with transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) that acts as a downstream mediator of TGF-beta-induced fibroblast proliferation. We performed in vitro and in vivo studies to determine whether CTGF is also essential for TGF-beta-induced fibroblast collagen synthesis. ...
