Integrated actions of transforming growth factor-beta1 and connective tissue growth factor in renal fibrosis.
Matrix accumulation in the renal tubulointerstitium is predictive of a progressive decline in renal function. Transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) and, more recently, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) are recognized to play key roles in mediating the fibrogenic response, independently of the primary renal insult. Further definition of the independent and interrelated effects of...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta1 regulates macrophage migration via RhoA.
Brief treatment with transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 stimulated the migration of macrophages, whereas long-term exposure decreased their migration. Cell migration stimulated by TGF-beta1 was markedly inhibited by 10 mug/mL Tat-C3 exoenzyme. TGF-beta1 increased mRNA and protein levels of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha in the initial period, and these effects also were inhibi...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta1 suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation via activation of Hippo signaling
In this study, we examined the expression of core proteins of the Hippo signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells treated with transforming growth factor-β 1(TGF-β1) and investigated the relationship between TGF-β1 and the Hippo signaling pathway, in order to better understand their roles in HCC and their potential implications for cancer therapy. We prove that the Hippo signali...
متن کاملThe recombinant proregion of transforming growth factor beta1 (latency-associated peptide) inhibits active transforming growth factor beta1 in transgenic mice.
All three isoforms of transforming growth factors beta (TGF-betal, TGF-beta2, and TGF-beta3) are secreted as latent complexes and activated extracellularly, leading to the release of the mature cytokines from their noncovalently associated proregions, also known as latency-associated peptides (LAPs). The LAP region of TGF-beta1 was expressed in a baculovirus expression system and purified to ho...
متن کاملReduced Smad3 protein expression and altered transforming growth factor-beta1-mediated signaling in cystic fibrosis epithelial cells.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease characterized by an aggressive inflammatory response in the airways. Given the antiinflammatory properties of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, it was our goal to examine components of TGF-beta1-mediated signaling in both a cultured cell model and a mouse model of CF. A CF-related reduction of protein levels of the TGF-beta1 signaling molecule Smad3 was f...
