Antitumor Activity of a Transforming Growth Factor
TGF-a-PE40 is a chimeric protein composed of transforming growth factor a (TGF-a) linked to a modified Pseudomonas toxin from which the cell recognition domain has been deleted (PE40). TGF-a-PE40 has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on human cancer cell lines that express the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor on their surface, and when given ¡.p., it prolongs the survival of nude mice...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor- pathway activity in glioblastoma
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-� is a central molecule maintaining the malignant phenotype of glioblastoma. Anti-TGF-� strategies are currently being explored in early clinical trials. Yet, there is little contemporary data on the differential expression of TGF-� isoforms at the mRNA and protein level or TGF-�/Smad pathway activity in glioblastomas in vivo.Here we studied 64 newly diagnosed a...
متن کاملIncreased expression of collagens, transforming growth factor-β1, and -β3 in gluteal muscle contracture
BACKGROUND Gluteal muscle contracture (GMC) is a multi-factor human chronic fibrotic disease of the gluteal muscle. Fibrotic tissue is characterized by excessive accumulation of collagen in the muscle's extracellular matrix. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 and -beta2 are thought to play an important role in fibrogenesis, while TGF-beta3 is believed to have an anti-fibrotic function. We h...
متن کاملA Macroporous Bioreactor Super Activated by the Recombinant Human Transforming Growth Factor-β3
Macroporous single phase hydroxyapatite (HA) and biphasic HA/β-tricalcium phosphate with 33% post-sinter hydroxyapatite (HA/β-TCP) were combined with 25 or 125 μg recombinant human transforming growth factor-β3 (hTGF-β(3)) to engineer a super activated bioreactor implanted in orthotopic calvarial and heterotopic rectus abdominis muscle sites and harvested on day 30 and 90. Coral-derived calcium...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-β3 promotes facial nerve injury repair in rabbits
The present study investigated the effects of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β3 on the regeneration of facial nerves in rabbits. A total of 20 adult rabbits were randomly divided into three equal groups: Normal control (n=10), surgical control (n=10) and TGF-β3 treatment (n=10). The total number and diameter of the regenerated nerve fibers was significantly increased in the TGF-β3 treatment g...
