Endoglin increases eNOS expression by modulating Smad2 protein levels and Smad2‐dependent TGF‐β signaling

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, 2006
AbstractThe endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is a critical regulator of cardiovascular homeostasis, whose dysregulation leads to different vascular pathologies. Endoglin is a component of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β) receptor complex present in endothelial cells that is involved in angiogenesis, cardiovascular development, and ...

ERBIN is a new SARA-interacting protein: competition between SARA and SMAD2 and SMAD3 for binding to ERBIN [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2011
SARA, an early endosomal protein, plays a key role in TGFβ signalling, as it presents SMAD2 and SMAD3 for phosphorylation by the activated TGFβ receptors. Here, we show that ERBIN is a new SARA-interacting protein that can be recruited by SARA to early endosomes. ERBIN was recently shown to bind and segregate phosphorylated SMAD2 and SMAD3 (SMAD2/3) in

Neuroprotective effects of SMADs in a rat model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Previous studies have shown that up-regulation of transforming growth factor β1 results in neuroprotective effects. However, the role of the transforming growth factor β1 downstream molecule, SMAD2/3, following ischemia/reperfusion remains unclear. Here,

miR-218-5p Induces Interleukin-1β and Endovascular Trophoblast Differentiation by Targeting the Transforming Growth Factor β-SMAD2 Pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The acquisition of an endovascular trophoblast (enEVT) phenotype is essential for normal placental development and healthy pregnancy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that play critical roles in regulating gene expression.

CRTC2 activates the epithelial–mesenchymal transition of diabetic kidney disease through the CREB-Smad2/3 pathway

open access: yesMolecular Medicine, 2023
Background Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in tubulointerstitial fibrosis, which is a hallmark of diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

miR-425-5p targets TGF-β1/Smad2 signaling pathway to attenuate collagen fiber deposition in hypertrophic scar tissue in mice [PDF]

open access: yesJichu yixue yu linchuang, 2023
Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of miR-425-5p in the formation of hypertrophic scar(HS).Methods The levels of miR-425-5p, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and SMAD family member 2 (Smad2) in 16 pairs of HS tissue and normal skin ...

Herbal compound 861 prevents hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad/SnoN pathway in bile duct-ligated rats

open access: yesBMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2018
Background This study was to evaluate the effects of herbal compound 861 (Cpd861) on ski-related novel protein N (SnoN) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) /Smad signaling in rats with bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced hepatic fibrosis, and to ...

Identification of Smad2, a Human Mad-related Protein in the Transforming Growth Factor β Signaling Pathway [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily members are multifunctional cytokines that exert their effects via heteromeric complexes of two distinct serine and threonine kinase receptors. Drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic and related genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, Xenopus, and mammals were shown to function downstream in the ...
