Transforming Growth Factor β Receptors and p27kip in Thyroid Carcinoma [PDF]
To investigate the role of cell cycle regulators in the pathogenesis of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.Resistance to transforming growth factor beta-mediated inhibition is a well-known pathogenic mechanism in epithelial neoplasias. In a retrospective study, the expression of transforming growth factor beta receptors types I and II, cyclin D1, and ...

Insights into Bone Morphogenetic Protein—(BMP-) Signaling in Ocular Lens Biology and Pathology
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a diverse class of growth factors that belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) superfamily. Although originally discovered to possess osteogenic properties, BMPs have since been identified as critical ...

The role of BMP4 in adipose-derived stem cell differentiation: A minireview
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines responsible for stem cells’ commitment to differentiation, proliferation, and maturation.

Extracellular matrix-induced transforming growth factor-β receptor signaling dynamics [PDF]
Matrix remodeling, degradation, inflammation and invasion liberate peptide fragments that can subsequently interact with cells in an attachment-independent manner. Such 'soluble' matrix components, including collagens, fibronectin and laminin, induced Smad activation (termed crosstalk signaling), which follows a similar chronological sequence and R ...

Pathogen-specific CD8 T cells provide a mechanism for selectively eliminating host cells that are harboring intracellular pathogens. The pathogens are killed when lytic molecules are injected into the cytoplasm of the infected cells and begin an ...

Activated human mast cells induce LOX-1-specific scavenger receptor expression in human monocyte-derived macrophages. [PDF]
Activated mast cells in atherosclerotic lesions degranulate and release bioactive compounds capable of regulating atherogenesis. Here we examined the ability of activated human primary mast cells to regulate the expression of the major scavenger ...

Functional Analysis of Transforming Growth Factor-.BETA. Type I Receptor.
Proteins in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily exert their effects by forming heteromeric complexes of their type I and type II serine/threonine kinase receptors. Binding of TGF-beta to its constitutively active type II receptor (T beta R-II) recruits the type I receptor (T beta R-I) into the complex; T beta R-I is thereafter ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Stimulates Transforming Growth Factor-Beta Receptor Type II Expression In Corneal Epithelial Cells [PDF]
AbstractWe previously demonstrated that inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) slowed corneal epithelial migration. Here we examine the effect of EGF on transforming growth factor-beta receptor II (TGF-βRII) in a corneal wound-healing model and primary human corneal epithelial cells (pHCE).
