Human adult hematopoietic stem cells are mostly quiescent or slow cycling. We have previously demonstrated that blocking of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is able to activate, in the presence of cytokines, primitive quiescent hematopoietic multipotent progenitors which could not grow in a two week semi-solid culture assay (short term culture). We have also shown that anti-TGF-beta...

The transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) belongs to a family of structurally related polypeptide factors. TGF-beta plays an important role in the pathobiology of invasion of malignant gliomas. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) signaling on the process of TGF-β1-stimulated migration and invasion of T98G glioma cells. We fo...

To address the role of transforming growth factor (TGF) beta in the progression of established tumors while avoiding the confounding inhibitory effects of TGF-beta on early transformation, we generated doxycycline (DOX)-inducible triple transgenic mice in which active TGF-beta1 expression could be conditionally regulated in mouse mammary tumor cells transformed by the polyomavirus middle T anti...

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...

some of the genotypes of cytokines are associated with acute graft versus host disease after bone marrow transplantation. the purpose of the present investigation was to find out the possible association between transforming growth factor beta-1 (tgf-β1) codon 25 polymorphism (rs:1800471) and acute graft versus host disease (agvhd) after bone marrow transplantation from the sibling with the sim...

objectives in this study, the association of tgf-β1 +915g/c and -509c/t gene polymorphisms with chronic hepatitis b was evaluated in iranian patients. materials and methods a population-based case–control study was conducted in taleghani hospital, tehran. a number of 220 patients with chronic hepatitis b and the same number of healthy control subjects were designated the case and the control gr...

Objective: This study’s aim was to assess the efficacy of topical Binahong (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis) leaf ethanolic extract administration on serum transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) in infected wounds.
 Methods: An experimental study, vivo, conducted Biotechnology Laboratory and Animal House, Faculty Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang, from July September 2020. ...

Objective: To compare Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression in various L-PRF concentrations on the hDPSC differentiation process. Material and Methods: cell cultures were subjected to serum starvation by reducing FBS levels culture media. Lysate PRF was obtained from gel, which then incubated at 4°C for 24 h. The supernatant dried, transferred a 2-ml Eppendorf tube, stored −20°C. ev...

BACKGROUND Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) inhibits cell proliferation. This may be mediated by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). TGF-beta directly stops cell proliferation, restrains cells in G(0), and inhibits the uptake of platelet-derived growth factor and insulin-like growth factor. These effects are identical to those observed with ASA treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS We cultured rat...
