Let-7g improves multiple endothelial functions through targeting transforming growth factor-beta and SIRT-1 signaling.
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to explore the role of microribonucleic acid (miRNA) Let-7g in regulating endothelial functions. BACKGROUND Derangement of miRNAs is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Because the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β pathway plays a regulatory role in endothelial functions, miRNAs targeted at TGF-β signal cascade might affect vascular h...
متن کاملEndothelial cell transforming growth factor-β receptor activation causes tacrolimus-induced renal arteriolar hyalinosis
Arteriolar hyalinosis is a common histological finding in renal transplant recipients treated with the calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus; however, the pathophysiologic mechanisms remain unknown. In addition to increasing transforming growth factor (TGF)-β levels, tacrolimus inhibits calcineurin by binding to FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12). FKBP12 alone also inhibits TGF-β receptor activation....
متن کاملEmbryonic Lethality Due to Arrested Cardiac Development in Psip1/Hdgfrp2 Double-Deficient Mice
Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) related protein 2 (HRP2) and lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 are closely related members of the HRP2 protein family. LEDGF/p75 has been implicated in numerous human pathologies including cancer, autoimmunity, and infectious disease. Knockout of the Psip1 gene, which encodes for LEDGF/p75 and the shorter LEDGF/p52 isoform, was previously sh...
متن کاملGinger extract modulates the expression of IL-12 and TGF-β in the central nervous system and serum of mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Objective: The main function of IL-12 is differentiation of naive T cells intoTh1 cells and TGF-β is a powerful immunoregulatory cytokine. The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of ginger have also been reported in some studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ginger extract on the expression of IL-12 and TGF-β in a model of experimental autoimmune encephalom...
متن کاملTGF-β1-Smad signaling pathways are not required for epidermal LC homeostasis
Langerhans cells (LCs) are skin-homing dendritic cells (DCs) that have long been considered to be prototypic sentinel DCs due to their prominent position at the environmental barrier, and are essential for the induction of skin immunity and tolerance [1]. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a key factor in epidermal LC development and maintenance. The presence of TGF-β1 is a prerequisite ...
