Effect of aldosterone on renal transforming growth factor-beta.

Aldosterone participates in the pathophysiology of several models of progressive chronic renal disease. Because of the causal connection between transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta) and scarring in many such models, we hypothesized that aldosterone could evoke TGF-beta in the kidney. Aldosterone infusion for 3 days in otherwise normal rats caused a more than twofold increase in TGF-bet...

The 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...

High levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 correlate with disease progression in human colon cancer.

Several genes have identified that play a role in colon cancer development. However, less is known about factors that increase the rate of progression of colon cancers to metastasis. One candidate is transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1), which can enhance the aggressiveness of human colorectal cell lines in vitro and in vivo. The amount of TGF beta 1, TGF beta 2, and TGF beta 3 protei...

Immunohistochemical staining for transforming growth factor beta 1 associates with disease progression in human breast cancer.

The transforming growth factor beta s (TGF-beta) comprise a family of M(r) 25,000 pluripotent growth factors which have been implicated in the development and progression of human breast cancer. Conflicting data suggest that TGF-beta has the potential to either inhibit or promote the progression of mammary neoplasia. We therefore examined a pathological library of malignant breast biopsy specim...

Transforming growth factor-beta and fibrosis.

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), a prototype of multifunctional cytokine, is a key regulator of extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly and remodeling. Specifically, TGF-beta isoforms have the ability to induce the expression of ECM proteins in mesenchymal cells, and to stimulate the production of protease inhibitors that prevent enzymatic breakdown of the ECM. Elevated TGF-beta expressi...
