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 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 کاملInhibition of myofibroblast apoptosis by transforming growth factor beta(1).
Fibroblast differentiation to the myofibroblast phenotype is associated with alpha-smooth-muscle actin (alpha-SMA) expression and regulated by cytokines. Among these, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta(1) and interleukin (IL)-1beta can stimulate and inhibit myofibroblast differentiation, respectively. IL-1beta inhibits alpha-SMA expression by inducing apoptosis selectively in myofibroblasts ...
متن کاملExpression of Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 in Vitiligo
Background: Vitiligo is characterized by selective destruction of melanocytes. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ 1) is the main product of regulatory T cells (Tregs) which are deficient in vitiligo. Thus, lower levels of serum TGFβ 1 are expected in vitiligo. However, TGFβ 1 is a keratinocytederived cytokine with inhibitory effect on melanocyte activity. Thus it may be expected to be high...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor-beta 1 bifunctionally regulates murine macrophage proliferation.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a family of polypeptide growth factors with multiple functional activities. Recent studies suggest that TGF-beta is a selective inhibitor of hematopoietic cells. In this report, we study the effect of TGF-beta 1 on the proliferation of murine peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) in response to purified murine recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colon...
