Activin A, a member of the TGF-beta superfamily, is a pluripotent growth and differentiation factor. In this study, we report that murine Th cells produce activin A upon activation. Activin activity in the cultured CD4+ T cells was induced by anti-CD3 cross-linking. Activin betaA mRNA level was increased in response to activation, indicating that activin production in CD4+ T cells is regulated ...

Activin A is a dimeric protein hormone that regulates numerous cellular functions. A clear physiological role for this molecule in pregnancy is suggested by previous studies in the human, wherein activin A rises dramatically as women approach parturition. To determine whether the rodent is a suitable animal model for further studies of activin action during pregnancy, the serum concentration of...

Activin B is induced in response to inflammation in the liver and enhances hepcidin expression, but the source of activin B and the molecular mechanism underlying hepcidin induction are not clear yet. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation induced inhibin βB but not inhibin α or inhibin βA expression in the liver, implicating activin B induction. Immunoreactive inhibin βB was detected in...

Activins are members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) superfamily, which comprises a growing group of dimeric proteins. TGF beta and several other members of this superfamily are known to play an important role in wound healing. However, expression of activin during wound healing has not been demonstrated so far. In this study we have analyzed the expression pattern of activin ...

Activin is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, and it modulates the proliferation and differentiation of various target cells. In this study, we investigated the role of activin in the initiation and progression of human atherosclerosis. The expression of activin, its physiological inhibitor follistatin, and activin receptors were assayed in human vascular tissue specim...

Activin A (a homodimer of two activin betaA subunits) has been shown to induce the neuronal differentiation of rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. We studied activin A and its receptor gene expression in human pheochromocytomas in vivo and in vitro to clarify the potential involvement of activin A in the pathophysiology of these tumors. We first screened 20 pheochromocytomas and nine normal adrena...

The functions of activin, a member of TGF-beta superfamily, in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma remain unsolved, although we recently found that inhibin betaA-subunit, activin A, activin receptor type IA, type IB, type IIA, type IIB, Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 were localized in tumor cells of the ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma tissue by immunohistochemistry. In the present study, in order to in...

15-Deoxy-Δ(12,14)-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) and activin are implicated in the control of apoptosis, cell proliferation, and inflammation in cells. We examined both the mechanism by which 15d-PGJ2 regulates the transcription of activin-induced activin receptors (ActR) and Smads in HepG2 cells and the involvement of the nuclear factor- κ B (NF- κ B) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p...

The mRNA expression of two activin growth factor subunits ( Aand C-activin), activin receptor subunits (ActRIIA, ActRIIB) and the activin-binding protein follistatin, and peptide expression of A-activin and C-activin subunits, were examined in regenerating rat liver after partial hepatectomy (PHx). Liver samples were collected from adult, male Sprague–Dawley rats, 12–240 h (n=3–5 rats per time ...

We previously reported that activin A, not inhibin, was localized to endometrial tissues, and that the endometrium might be a major source of activin A during the menstrual cycle, using an immunohistochemical method. However, there are few detailed reports concerning the expression of inhibin subunits, activin receptors and Smad proteins in the ectopic endometrial tissues of endometriosis. In t...
