Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a potential source of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) for constructing tissue-engineered vascular grafts. However, the details of how specific combinations of vascular microenvironmental factors regulate MSCs are not well understood. Previous studies have suggested that both mechanical stimulation with uniaxial cyclic strain and chemical stimulation with transformin...
The effect of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) on the expression of mRNA for the parathyroid hormone receptor and binding of iodinated parathyroid hormone-related protein in ROS 17/2.8 osteosarcoma cells was evaluated. TGF-beta1 stimulated a 2-7-fold increase in steady state mRNA levels for the parathyroid hormone receptor at a maximal dose of 5 ng/ml, with increased levels of expre...
HYPOTHESIS Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) may be related to breast cancer progression. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Sixty consecutive patients with invasive breast cancer undergoing surgery were prospectively included and evaluated. The control group consisted of 14 patients with benign breast tumors (7 with fibrocystic disease and 7 with f...
The ability of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) in vitro and in vivo, together with the demonstration of EMT in biopsies of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients, suggests a role for TGF-beta1-induced EMT in disease pathogenesis. We investigated the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on TGF-be...
Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) is secreted by various cells, including macrophages, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells. TGF-beta1 is present in atherosclerotic lesions, but its role in regulating macrophage foam cell formation is not understood. Hypertriglyceridemic very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) remnants (VLDL-REMs) in their native or oxidized form will induce choles...
Transgenic mice that overexpress cyclin D1 protein in the liver develop liver carcinomas with high penetrance. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) serves as either an epithelial cell growth inhibitor or a tumor promoter, depending on the cellular context. We interbred LFABP-cyclin D1 and Alb-TGF-beta1 transgenic mice to produce cyclin D1/TGF-beta1 double transgenic mice and followed the ...
Hyperglycemia-induced alterations in mesangial (MES) cell function and extracellular matrix (ECM) protein accumulation are seen in diabetic glomerulopathy. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) mediates high-glucose-induced matrix production in the kidney. Recent studies demonstrated that some of the effects of high glucose on cellular metabolism are mediated by the hexosamine biosynthes...
Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a multifunctional, profibrotic cytokine involved in cellular growth and differentiation. We have previously described a cell surface-associated H2O2-generating NADH:flavin:O2 oxidoreductase (referred to as NADH oxidase) activity in human lung fibroblasts induced by TGF-beta1 (Thannickal, V. J., and Fanburg, B. L. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 30334-3...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) plays a pivotal role in the extracellular matrix accumulation observed in fibrotic diseases. Endoglin is an important component of the TGF-beta receptor complex highly expressed in tissues undergoing fibrotic processes. Endoglin expression regulates the effect of TGF-beta on extracellular matrix synthesis. The purpose of our study has...
TGF-beta and oxidant stress have been considered to play key roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications; however, the stimulus for these factors in humans is not clear. The purpose of this in vivo study was to determine whether transient hyperglycemia in humans is sufficient to increase renal production of TGF-beta1 and urinary isoprostanes in normal humans. A hyperglycemic cl...
