Plasma levels of Transforming Growth Factor Beta in HIV-1 patients with oral candidiasis
Background and Purpose: TGF-β is a potent regulator and suppressor of the immune system and overproduction of this cytokine may contribute to immunosuppression in HIV-infected patients. Increasing population of immunosuppressed patients has resulted in increasingly frequent of fungal infections, including oral candidiasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma levels of TGF-&bet...
متن کاملMaternal Serum Levels of Transforming Growth Factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies
Background: Successful pregnancy in allopregnant women depends upon the control of graft rejection mechanisms. It has been suggested that some immunosuppressive cytokines contribute to successful pregnancy and transplantation. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF- β) exhibits potent immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties which might prolong graft survival. Recent studies suggest a ...
متن کاملtransforming growth factor β1 (tgf-β1) in the sera of postmenopausal osteoporotic females
conclusions our study demonstrated that tgf-β1 serum levels is higher in osteoporotic postmenopausal females than non-osteoporotic ones, and probably aberrant increase in tgf-β1 in postmenopausal females can result in uncoupled bone resorption and formation, which leads to osteoporosis. background postmenopausal osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity in postmenopausal females. transforming ...
متن کاملElevated levels of transforming growth factor beta messenger RNA and its polypeptide in human hepatocellular carcinoma.
Malignant cells in culture express elevated levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) mRNA and secrete an abundant amount of TGF-beta protein, but little is known about the production of TGF-beta in human malignant tissues in vivo. We estimated the levels of TGF-beta 1 mRNA expression by Northern hybridization and measured TGF-beta protein using a radioreceptor assay in tumor tis...
متن کاملSuppression of Latent Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β1 Restores Growth Inhibitory TGF-β Signaling through microRNAs
Cancer cells secreting excess latent TGF-β are often resistant to TGF-β induced growth inhibition. We observed that RNAi against TGF-β1 led to apoptotic death in such cell lines with features that were, paradoxically, reminiscent of TGF-β signaling activity and that included transiently enhanced SMAD2 and AKT phosphorylation. A comprehensive search in Hela cells for potential microRNA drivers o...
