Concentration-dependent inducing activity of activin A

Roux's Archives of Developmental Biology, 1991
Human recombinant activin A, which is identical with erythroid differentiation factor (EDF), was tested for its mesoderm-inducing activity in concentrations from 0.3-50 ng/ml, using ectoderm of Xenopus late blastula (Stage 9) as the responding tissue.

Activin A and follistatin in systemic inflammation

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2004
Inflammation is a complex process regulated by a cascade of cytokines and growth factors. This review summarizes the emerging evidence implicating activin A and follistatin in the inflammatory process. Our recent studies have highlighted that activin A is released early in the process as part of the circulatory cytokine cascade during acute systemic ...

Demonstration of Activin-A in Arteriosclerotic Lesions

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1994
We previously reported that follistatin, an activin-binding protein, is produced in arteriosclerotic lesions. Here, the expression of activin-A which promotes the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells was examined in arteriosclerotic lesions of WHHL (Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic) rabbits.

Immunohistochemical Detection of Activin A in Osteoclasts

Gerontology, 1996
Production of a member of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily, activin A, was examined in the bone tissue by using reverse transcriptase polymerase reaction. As a result, specific bands were detected showing the presence of activin A mRNA in the bone tissues.

Activin A: A Commitment Factor in Erythroid Differentiation

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1997
Erythropoietin is known to be an essential hemopoietic growth factor for maturation of erythroid progenitor cells. Like other hemopoietic growth factors, erythropoietin acts as a survival factor that supports maturation of the erythroid progenitor through the suppression of apoptosis. It is unclear whether erythropoietin can also induce differentiation,

Expression of activin A in inflammatory arthropathies

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2001
The findings that bone marrow fibroblastoid stromal cells are important for activin A production prompted our investigation of activin A expression in fibroblast-like synoviocytes in joint capsule in this and previous studies. In the proliferative reactive synovial membrane obtained from rheumatoid arthritis patients, activin A is detected prominently ...

Activin A in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

2011
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as one of the most common causes of abnormal liver function. NAFLD is a spectrum of disease ranging from simple steatosis (i.e., fat accumulation) of the liver to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with inflammation and fibrosis.
