Transforming growth factor-beta1 promotes the morphological and functional differentiation of the myofibroblast.
The myofibroblast is responsible for the generation of contractile force associated with wound contraction and pathological contractures and is characterized by the presence of alpha-smooth muscle (alpha-sm) actin-containing stress fibers, vinculin-containing fibronexus adhesion complexes, and fibronectin fibrils containing the ED-A splice variant. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) c...
متن کاملMyofibroblasts and Transforming Growth Factor-Beta1 in Reactive Gingival Overgrowths
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oral health-related quality of life of patients treated with implant-supported mandibular overdentures and to compare the attachment systems used. MATERIAL AND METHODS The presence of myofibroblasts as well as transforming growth factor-beta1 was examined in twenty cases of fibrous epulis and 22 ossifying fibrous epulis, using immunohis...
متن کاملMyofibroblast transformation of cat corneal endothelium by transforming growth factor-beta1, -beta2, and -beta3.
PURPOSE Under certain pathophysiologic conditions, the corneal endothelium can produce an abnormal posterior collagenous layer (PCL) that reduces light transmission. Previous studies suggest that formation of PCLs can result from transformation of endothelial cells to a proliferative myofibroblast phenotype. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential role of transforming growth fa...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor 2 and transforming growth factor beta1 synergism in human bronchial smooth muscle cell proliferation.
Bronchial smooth muscle cell (BSMC) hyperplasia is a typical feature of airway remodeling and contributes to airway obstruction and hyperresponsiveness in asthma. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) are sequentially upregulated in asthmatic airways after allergic challenge. Whereas FGF-2 induces BSMC proliferation, the mitogenic effect of TGF-beta...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta-stimulated connective tissue growth factor expression during corneal myofibroblast differentiation.
PURPOSE Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta) stimulates the differentiation of myofibroblasts as indicated by the nascent expression of alpha-smooth muscle (alpha-SM) actin protein and its organization into stress fibers. Downstream messengers of TGF-beta in the conversion from the fibroblast to the myofibroblast phenotype were investigated. Whether TGF-beta increases the transcription o...
