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 modulates g...

Chronic wounds are that fail to progress through the normal stages of healing and remain open for an extended period time. These often require specialized treatment approaches. While genes involved in wound play important roles chronic as well, specific genetic factors contributing still being studied. Some have been implicated their potential include Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) Fam...

conclusions based on our study, in vivo prepared e/sa may be considered as a good candidate for animal immunization. results our results showed that the serum levels of anti-e/sa immunoglobulins significantly increased in all of the immunized groups. the differences of the serum levels of tgf-β between the groups were statistically significant at days 28 and 56 after immunization with e/sa. bac...

background: transforming growth factor-β1 (tgf-β1) has been found to play a crucial role in early central nervous system development. several studies have illustrated decreased tgf-β1 levels in sera and brains of autistic children. two point mutations in the tgf-β1 signal peptide at 869t/c and 915g/c have been reported to influence tgf-β1 expression. the aim of the present study was to investig...

Background: The multifunctional transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a glycoprotein that exists in three isoforms. TGF-β3 expression increases in fetal wound healing and reduces fibronectin and collagen I and III deposition, and also improves the architecture of the neodermis which is a combination of blood vessels and connective tissue during wound healing. Fibroblasts are key ...

background: several cells of immune system such as regulatory t cells and macrophages secrete transforming growth factor-β (tgf-β) in response to different stimuli. this cytokine has inhibitory effect on immune system and diminished production of this cytokine is associated with autoimmune disorders. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of opium addiction on serum leve...

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) plays a crucial role in cancer during development and metastasis. The TGF-β signaling pathway begins with the binding of active to receptor type II, which ultimately leads expression target genes nucleus. In this study, 56 compounds from Allium cepa were docked against transforming I II (TGFBR II) identify small molecular weight capable firmly kinase doma...

The effect of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) on proteoglycan synthesis and degradation in anatomically intact articular cartilage of murine patellae was studied. Exogenously added TGF beta up to a concentration of 200 pmol/l had no effect on proteoglycan synthesis in intact articular cartilage. Neutralisation of endogenously produced TGF beta with a specific monoclonal antibody to T...
