The study investigated the regulation of Smad2 by miR-18a and its role in preeclampsia (PE). Bioinformatics analysis showed that both Smad2 and Smad3 were the predicted targets for miR-18a.

Smurf2-induced degradation of SMAD2 causes inhibition of hair follicle stem cell differentiation
Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) are implicated in the formation of hair follicles and epidermis. This study aims to clarify the role of SMAD2 in regulating the differentiation of HFSCs, which is involved with Smurf2.

Activin, a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) superfamily, induces mesoderm, endoderm and neuro-ectoderm formation in Xenopus embryos. Despite several previous studies, the complicated gene regulatory network and genes involved in this ...

Araf kinase antagonizes Nodal-Smad2 activity in mesendoderm development by directly phosphorylating the Smad2 linker region [PDF]
Smad2/3-mediated transforming growth factor β signalling and the Ras-Raf-Mek-Erk cascade have important roles in stem cell and development and tissue homeostasis. However, it remains unknown whether Raf kinases directly crosstalk with Smad2/3 signalling and how this would regulate embryonic development.

Background ClC-3 chloride channels promote osteogenic differentiation. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and its receptors are closely related to ClC-3 chloride channels, and canonical TGF-β1 signaling is largely mediated by Smad proteins.

Smad2 Positively Regulates the Generation of Th17 Cells* [PDF]
Development of Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells and pro-inflammatory Th17 cells from naive CD4(+) T cells requires transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling. Although Smad4 and Smad3 have been previously shown to regulate Treg cell induction by TGF-β, they are not required in the development of Th17 cells.

Smad2 and Smad3 Regulate Chondrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation in the Growth Plate. [PDF]
TGFβs act through canonical and non-canonical pathways, and canonical signals are transduced via Smad2 and Smad3. However, the contribution of canonical vs.

Calmodulin Differentially Modulates Smad1 and Smad2 Signaling [PDF]
The members of the Smad protein family are intracellular mediators of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signaling. Smad1 transduces bone morphogenetic protein signals, inducing formation of ventral mesoderm in Xenopus embryos, whereas Smad2 transduces activin/TGF-beta signals, generating dorsal mesoderm. Calmodulin directly binds to many Smads

SMAD2 Promotes Myogenin Expression and Terminal Myogenic Differentiation [PDF]
ABSTRACT SMAD2 is a transcription factor whose activity is regulated by members of the Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily. While activation of SMAD2 and SMAD3 downstream of TGFβ or myostatin signaling is known to inhibit myogenesis, we find that SMAD2 in the absence of TGFβ signaling promotes terminal ...
