miR-192 inhibits the activation of hepatic stellate cells by targeting Rictor

Open Medicine, 2023
The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is regarded as the primary driving factor of liver fibrosis. miR-192, a miRNA associated with hepatocellular carcinoma and enriched in HSCs, has an undisclosed role in HSC activation and liver fibrosis.

Phospho-Smad3 signaling is predictive biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma risk assessment in primary biliary cholangitis patients

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2021
Introduction: Patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) are at increased risk for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), particularly in the presence of comorbidities such as excessive alcohol consumption.

GDF3 Protects Mice against Sepsis-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction and Mortality by Suppression of Macrophage Pro-Inflammatory Phenotype

Cells, 2020
Macrophages are critical for regulation of inflammatory response during endotoxemia and septic shock. However, the mediators underlying their regulatory function remain obscure.

Smad signalling in the ovary [PDF]

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2006
Abstract It has now been a decade since the first discovery of the intracellular Smad proteins, the downstream signalling molecules of one of the most important growth factor families in the animal kingdom, the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily.

TSG-6 Inhibits the Growth of Keloid Fibroblasts Via Mediating the TGF-β1/Smad Signaling Pathway

Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2021
Background The cytokine TNF-α-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6) had been verified to have a certain inhibitory effect on the inflammation. During wound healing, fibroblasts increasingly proliferated and deposited collagen fibers, leading to the formation of ...

Eps15R is required for bone morphogenetic protein signalling and differentially compartmentalizes with Smad proteins [PDF]

Open Biology, 2012
Transforming growth factor β superfamily members signal through Smad transcription factors. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) act via Smads 1, 5 and 8 and TGF-βs signal through Smads 2 and 3.

A Perspective on the Development of TGF-β Inhibitors for Cancer Treatment

Biomolecules, 2019
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is a secreted multifunctional cytokine that signals via plasma membrane TGF-β type I and type II receptors and intercellular SMAD transcriptional effectors.

Raloxifene and n-Acetylcysteine Ameliorate TGF-Signalling in Fibroblasts from Patients with Recessive Dominant Epidermolysis Bullosa

Cells, 2020
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe skin disease caused by mutation of the COL7A1 gene. RDEB is associated with high levels of TGF-β1, which is likely to be involved in the fibrosis that develops in this disease. Endoglin (CD105)
