Transforming growth factor beta 1 expression in gastric carcinoma.
Many types of human malignant tumor have been reported to amplify transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) gene and overexpress its protein. However, little work has been done about the content of TGF-beta 1 protein in tissue and blood of patients with malignant tumors. TGF-beta 1 protein of tissue (n = 29) and serum TGF-beta 1 levels in patients with gastric carcinoma (n = 62) were compa...
متن کاملRelationship of transforming growth factor beta 1 to angiogenesis in gastric carcinoma.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) comprises a group of multifunctional regulatory proteins, whose effects include angiogenesis. The expression of TGF-beta 1 in gastric carcinomas (70 cases) has been determined and related to pathological features and microvessel count by immunohistochemical staining for TGF-beta 1 and Factor VIII related antigen. Prominent reactivity for TGF-beta 1 was...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor beta 1 induces apoptotic cell death in cultured human gastric carcinoma cells.
Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is a potent growth inhibitor for many cell types, including tumor cells. We recently have reported the establishment and characterization of two human gastric scirrhous carcinoma cell lines, HSC-39 and HSC-43. Here we examined the effect of TGF-beta 1 on the growth of these lines as compared to five other human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines. Pr...
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 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...
