TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR β2 UP-REGULATES GM-CSF GENE IN HUMAN BLADDER CARCINOMA CELL LINE HTB 5637
Transforming growth factor betas are multifunctional polypeptides in the cytokine superfamily. They have a growth inhibitory role on hemopoietic progenitor cells in semisolid colony assay as well as in long-term bone-marrow culture. TGF - β2 represses stromal cells, stem cell factor gene transcription, and decreases the stability of c-kit transcripts in hemopoietic cells. TGF-β also modulat...
متن کاملO-28: Endometriosis Is Influenced by The Promoter Haplotype-Based Expression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF)
Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by accumulated active macrophages in ectopic tissue of endometriosis. MIF is involved in pathophysiological events of endometriosis, such as angiogenesis and cell proliferation. MIF that stimulates the synthesis of PGE2, leads to over-expression of local estradiol synthesis in endometrio...
متن کاملMarked increase in macrophage migration inhibitory factor synthesis and secretion in human endometrial cells in response to human chorionic gonadotropin hormone.
Originally identified for its capacity to inhibit the random migration of macrophages in vitro, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is now recognized as a multifunctional cytokine that modulates the immune response and acts as a growth and angiogenic factor. Recent studies showed that MIF is expressed in the human endometrium across the menstrual cycle as well as in chorionic villi fro...
متن کاملActivation of the transcription factor NF-kappa B in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells by inflammatory stimuli.
Recent studies have shown that surface epithelial cells play a major role in the defence and inflammatory reactions of the airways. How extracellular stimuli lead to increased gene expression in these epithelial cells is not well known. In this study, we asked whether the multiunit transcription factor, nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B, which regulates the expression of genes involved in defense and...
متن کاملFunctional dichotomy of A20 in apoptotic and necrotic cell death.
ROS (reactive oxygen species) play important roles in the progression of a number of human pathologies. ROS promote cell death, but can also induce gene transcription. The transcription factor NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) plays a critical role in oxidative stress responses. One of the proteins regulated by NF-kappaB is the zinc-finger protein A20. In TNF (tumour necrosis factor)-alpha sign...
