Increased 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 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...
متن کاملEffects of transforming growth factor-beta 1 on human arterial smooth muscle cells in vitro.
Control of the thickness of the arterial wall is critical, as excessive overgrowth of constituent smooth muscle cells (SMCs) may interfere with blood flow. Effects on SMCs in vitro of several growth factors that are present in blood and/or that are produced endogenously in the arterial wall under certain conditions suggest that influences of endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine nature from stimu...
متن کاملHuman Leukocyte Antigen-G Expression on Dendritic Cells Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and CD4+ T Cells Proliferation
Background: During antigen capture and processing, mature dendritic cells (DC) express large amounts of peptide-MHC complexes and accessory molecules on their surface. DC are antigen-presenting cells that have an important role in tolerance and autoimmunity. The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has a regulatory role on the immune and non-immune cells. The aim of this study is ...
متن کاملSmad3 Mediates Transforming Growth Factor- –Induced -Smooth Muscle Actin Expression
Transforming growth factor(TGF)–induced -smooth muscle actin (ASMA) expression is a key indicator of myofibroblast differentiation from fibroblasts. Recent studies suggest that a TGFcontrol element is important in the regulation of the ASMA gene promoter by TGF. In this study, the role of Smad3, a key component of the Smad pathway that mediates TGFsignaling in regulation of ASMA gene expression...
