Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-ß1) levels in a rat model of induced pleural empyema

Maternal Serum Levels of Transforming Growth Factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies

Background: Successful pregnancy in allopregnant women depends upon the control of graft rejection mechanisms. It has been suggested that some immunosuppressive cytokines contribute to successful pregnancy and transplantation. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-   β) exhibits potent immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties which might prolong graft survival. Recent studies suggest a ...

Circulating transforming growth factor-beta1 levels in asymptomatic carotid plaques.

Circulating Transforming Growth Factor1 Levels in Asymptomatic Carotid Plaques To the Editor: It was with great interest we read the report by Cipollone et al1 on the role of transforming growth factor1 (TGF1) in the process of plaque stabilization. The authors demonstrate that TGFmRNA levels are increased up to 3-fold in asymptomatic as compared with symptomatic plaques, with a parallel increa...

Lysyl Oxidase Regulates Transforming Growth Factor-ß1 Function in Bone

FoxO3a mediates transforming growth factor-beta1-induced apoptosis in FaO rat hepatoma cells.

FoxO3a is a member of the forkhead box class O (FoxO) transcription factor family and an important regulator of apoptosis. This work aimed to elucidate the involvement of FoxO3a in transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1)-induced apoptosis in FaO rat hepatoma cells. TGF-beta1 caused a time-dependent activation of FoxO3a and a subsequent increase in FoxO response-element-containing luciferas...
