RNA Interference Targeting Connective Tissue Growth Factor Inhibits the Transforming Growth Factor-β2 Induced Proliferation in Human Tenon Capsule Fibroblasts
Purpose. This study was to determine the effect of CTGF-small interfering RNA (siRNA) on TGF- β 2-induced proliferation in human Tenon capsule fibroblasts (HTFs). Methods. HTFs were transfected with four of CTGF-siRNAs separately for screening of gene silencing efficacy that was determined by transcript level measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Recombinant TGF- β 2 was added into ...
متن کاملSmall interference RNA targeting tissue factor inhibits human lung adenocarcinoma growth in vitro and in vivo
BACKGROUND The human coagulation trigger tissue factor (TF) is overexpressed in several types of cancer and involved in tumor growth, vascularization, and metastasis. To explore the role of TF in biological processes of lung adenocarcinoma, we used RNA interference (RNAi) technology to silence TF in a lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 with high-level expression of TF and evaluate its antitumor...
متن کاملConnective tissue growth factor inhibits adipocyte differentiation.
Adipocyte differentiation is a key process implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance. Its regulation is triggered by a cascade of transcription factors, including the CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma). Growth factors such as transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) are known to inhibit adipocyte d...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor beta induces anchorage-independent growth of NRK fibroblasts via a connective tissue growth factor-dependent signaling pathway.
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a M(r)38,000 cysteine-rich peptide, the synthesis and secretion of which are selectively induced by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). The relationship of CTGF to TGF-beta action on fibroblastic cells is not well understood. TGF-beta has the unique ability to stimulate the growth of normal fibroblasts in soft agar, a property of transformed cel...
متن کاملMaresin 1 inhibits transforming growth factor-β1-induced proliferation, migration and differentiation in human lung fibroblasts
The myofibroblast has been implicated to be an important pathogenic cell in all fibrotic diseases, through synthesis of excess extracellular matrix. Lung fibroblast migration, proliferation and differentiation into a myofibroblast‑like cell type are regarded as important steps in the formation of lung fibrosis. In the present study, the effect of maresin 1 (MaR 1), a pro‑resolving lipid mediato...
