Angiotensin Receptor Regulates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Transforming Growth Factor-/^ Expression
The role of angiotensin II via the angiotensin type 1 or type 2 receptor in the development of cardiac hypertrophy was determined in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to coarctation of the abdominal aorta. Five groups of animals were studied: coarctation, coarctation plus DuP 753, coarctation plus PD 123319, sham plus DuP 753, or sham operation. Type 1 receptor blockade was accomplished ...
متن کاملLatent transforming growth factor binding protein 4 regulates transforming growth factor beta receptor stability.
Mutations in the gene for the latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4 (LTBP4) cause autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1C. To understand the molecular disease mechanisms of this disease, we investigated the impact of LTBP4 loss on transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling. Despite elevated extracellular TGFβ activity, downstream signaling molecules of the TGFβ pathway, ...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta 1 regulates axon/Schwann cell interactions
We have investigated the potential regulatory role of TGF-beta in the interactions of neurons and Schwann cells using an in vitro myelinating system. Purified populations of neurons and Schwann cells, grown alone or in coculture, secrete readily detectable levels of the three mammalian isoforms of TGF-beta; in each case, virtually all of the TGF-beta activity detected is latent. Expression of T...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta 1 bifunctionally regulates murine macrophage proliferation.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a family of polypeptide growth factors with multiple functional activities. Recent studies suggest that TGF-beta is a selective inhibitor of hematopoietic cells. In this report, we study the effect of TGF-beta 1 on the proliferation of murine peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) in response to purified murine recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colon...
متن کاملThe Role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGFβ1) in Nasal and Paranasal Sinuses Polyposis
Background and Objectives: Nasal polyposis is a diseases resulting from complex pathogenetic mechanisms. Some studies showed that TGFβ1 had significant role in this pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the roe of cytokines and mediators in polyp development. Material and Methods: In this case- control study, healthy nasal mucosal samples were obtained from 24 peopl...
