Effect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...

متن کاملAn engineered transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) monomer that functions as a dominant negative to block TGF-β signaling.
The transforming growth factor β isoforms, TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3, are small secreted homodimeric signaling proteins with essential roles in regulating the adaptive immune system and maintaining the extracellular matrix. However, dysregulation of the TGF-β pathway is responsible for promoting the progression of several human diseases, including cancer and fibrosis. Despite the known importance of...
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...
متن کاملModulation of TGF-β Signaling by Hypoxia
A tumor is a fast-growing malignant tissue. This creates areas inside the tumor that are distant from local blood vessels to be able to get enough oxygen. This hypoxic condition activates a transcription factor called hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). HIF responses help a cell to adapt to decreased oxygen by activating glycolytic and angiogenesis pathways and by regulating apoptotic responses. Hy...
