Induction of transforming growth factor beta 1 by purified protein derivative of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
We examined the ability of purified protein derivative (PPD) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to induce transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), a potent immunosuppressive and macrophage-deactivating molecule, in blood monocytes from healthy individuals. TBF-beta 1 activity in PPD-induced monocyte supernatants was identified by Western immunoblot analysis and was not inhibited by polymyxin ...
متن کاملSelective induction of transforming growth factor beta in human monocytes by lipoarabinomannan of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The induction of macrophage-deactivating (interleukin-10 [IL-10] and transforming growth factor beta [TGF-beta] and macrophage-activating (IL-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha] cytokines by lipoarabinomannan (LAM) from pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis Erdman and H37Rv strains (ManLAM) and nonpathogenic mycobacteria (AraLAM) in human blood monocytes was examined. ManLAM wa...
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 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 کاملRole of transforming growth factor beta 1 in induction of colon carcinoma differentiation by hexamethylene bisacetamide.
The differentiation agent hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) increased expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) mRNA in HT29 colon carcinoma cells. The increase was evident after 24 h and was maintained at levels 4-5-fold the control levels for at least 5-13 days. No increase in expression of TGF beta 2 or TGF alpha mRNA was observed. Both TGF beta 1 and HMBA induced loss of ...
