JARID2 is involved in transforming growth factor-beta-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of lung and colon cancer cell lines. [PDF]
Histone methylation plays a crucial role in various biological and pathological processes including cancer development. In this study, we discovered that JARID2, an interacting component of Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) that catalyzes methylation ...

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

HDAC-mediated control of ERK- and PI3K-dependent TGF-β-induced extracellular matrix-regulating genes [PDF]
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate the acetylation of histones in the control of gene expression. Many non-histone proteins are also targeted for acetylation, including TGF-ß signalling pathway components such as Smad2, Smad3 and Smad7. Our studies in

Serum Transforming Growth Factor âÂÂò1 (TGF-ò1) in Asthmatics: Association between Disease Control, Severity and Duration [PDF]
Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. Assessment of airway remodelling by analysis of blood and sputum markers has been developed as non-invasive procedures to bypass tissue biopsy.

Human peritoneal mesothelial cell transformation into myofibroblasts in response to TGF-Ã1 in vitro
Peritoneal dissemination is one of the leading causes of death in gastric cancer patients. The interaction between carcinoma cells and the peritoneal lining may play a key role in tumor peritoneal dissemination. Human peritoneal mesothelial cells are a monolayer of squamous epithelial cells covering the peritoneal cavity and forming serosal membranes ...

TGF-ß induces miR-100 and miR-125b but blocks let-7a through LIN28B controlling PDAC progression. [PDF]
TGF-ß/Activin induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the microRNAs (miRNAs) regulated during this response have remained yet undetermined.
