Transforming growth factor beta 1 induces neointima formation through plasminogen activator inhibitor-1-dependent pathways.
OBJECTIVE The mechanisms through which transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 promotes intimal growth, and the pathways through which TGF-beta1 expression is regulated in the artery wall, are incompletely understood. We used a mouse model to investigate mechanisms of TGF-beta1-induced intimal growth. METHODS AND RESULTS Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of TGF-beta1 in uninjured carotid arte...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor-1 vs. Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 in Ischemic Skin Flap Survival in a Rat Animal Model
BACKGROUND One of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. The present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. METHODS Thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal rando...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor enhances type beta 1 transforming growth factor gene expression in osteoblast-like cells
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and type beta transforming growth factor (TGF beta) are potent modulators of proliferation and differentiation in many types of cells. TGF beta acts in an autocrine manner, and the regulation of TGF beta gene expression is one of the crucial events in the control of cellular functions. This study examines FGF regulation of TGF beta 1 gene expression in osteoblast-...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor Enhances Type/?1 Transforming Growth Factor Gene Expression in Osteoblast-like Cells
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and type/3 transforming growth factor ('rGF/3) are potent modulators of proliferation and differentiation in many types of cells. TGF/~ acts in an autocrine manner, and the regulation of TGF/3 gene expression is one of the crucial events in the control of cellular functions. This study examines FGF regulation of TGF/31 gene expression in osteoblast-like cells. Bov...
متن کاملLatent transforming growth factor-beta 1 associates to fibroblast extracellular matrix via latent TGF-beta binding protein
The role of latent transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) binding protein (LTBP) in the association of TGF-beta 1 to the extracellular matrix of cultured fibroblasts and HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells was studied by immunochemical methods. The matrices were isolated from the cells, and the levels of LTBP and TGF-beta 1 were estimated by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. LTBP, TGF-beta 1, ...
