The 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...
متن کاملPlasma 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 کاملRetinoic acid induces secretion of latent transforming growth factor beta 1 and beta 2 in normal and human papillomavirus type 16-immortalized human keratinocytes.
Similar cellular responses are elicited by retinoic acid (RA) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). We investigated the ability of RA to modulate the production of TGF-beta in normal human keratinocytes (HKc) and HKc lines immortalized by transfection with human papillomavirus type 16 DNA (HKc/HPV16). RA treatment of both normal HKc and HKc/HPV16 resulted in a 2-3-fold induction in se...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor Beta-1 in Human Colorectal Cancer Patients
Aim: Colorectal cancer patients are treated with surgery and sometimes radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) acts both as an inhibitor of tumor growth and as a promoter of tumor progression. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of TGF-β1 in plasma in colorectal cancer patients and relate these to the effect of clinicopathological variables. Metho...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta induces plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 in cultured human orbital fibroblasts.
PURPOSE The level of constitutive plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) expression in cultured human orbital fibroblasts is considerably lower than that found in dermal fibroblasts. This divergence in PAI-1 expression implies differences in the pericellular proteolytic environment and, therefore, in the turnover of extracellular matrix. In this article, the authors examine the effect o...
