The transforming growth factor-beta type III receptor mediates distinct subcellular trafficking and downstream signaling of activin-like kinase (ALK)3 and ALK6 receptors.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) signal through the BMP type I and type II receptors to regulate cellular processes, including embryonic development. The type I BMP receptors activin-like kinase (ALK)3 and ALK6 share a high degree of homology, yet possess distinct signaling roles. Here, we report that although the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta type III receptor (TbetaRIII) enhanced bo...
متن کاملDirected Blocking of TGF-β Receptor I Binding Site Using Tailored Peptide Segments to Inhibit its Signaling Pathway
Background: TGF-β isoforms play crucial roles in diverse cellular processes. Therefore, targeting and inhibiting TGF-β signaling pathway provides a potential therapeutic opportunity. TGF-β isoforms bind and bring the receptors (TβRII and TβRI) together to form a signaling complex in an ordered manner. Objectives: Herein, an antagonistic variant of TGF-β (AnTβ)...
متن کاملThe bone morphogenetic protein type Ib receptor is a major mediator of glial differentiation and cell survival in adult hippocampal progenitor cell culture.
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) act as growth regulators and inducers of differentiation. They transduce their signal via three different type I receptors, termed activin receptor-like kinase 2 (Alk2), Alk3, or bone morphogenetic protein receptor Ia (BMPRIa) and Alk6 or BMPRIb. Little is known about functional differences between the three type I receptors. Here, we have investigated consequ...
متن کاملA Better Understanding of the Role of TGF-β Family Members in Tissue Fibrosis
Traditionally two different subfamilies of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily have been associated with different effects on tissue fibrosis: the profibrotic TGF-β subfamily (TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3) and the antifibrotic bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) subfamily. TGF-β1 is the most widely studied profibrotic cytokine, as it regulates numerous processes involved in tissue ...
متن کاملThe Effect of SB431542, TGF-β Receptor Inhibitor, on HCV Replication in PBMCs of Patients with Chronic Hepatitis
Background and Aims: TGF-β is an effective cytokine in the viral replication cycle, which is also highly relevant to the pathogenesis of some viral infections. TGF-β induction by viral proteins is one of the ways to escape the virus from the immune system by inhibiting interferon signaling and other immune system factors. In recent years, the role of TGF-β and its inhibitor...
