Inhibition of TGF-β Signaling Promotes Human Pancreatic β-Cell Replication. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Diabetes is associated with loss of functional pancreatic β-cells, and restoration of β-cells is a major goal for regenerative therapies. Endogenous regeneration of β-cells via β-cell replication has the potential to restore cellular mass; however ...

Chemical regulators of epithelial plasticity reveal a nuclear receptor pathway controlling myofibroblast differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plasticity in epithelial tissues relates to processes of embryonic development, tissue fibrosis and cancer progression. Pharmacological modulation of epithelial transitions during disease progression may thus be clinically useful.

IGFBP‐3 and TGF‐β inhibit growth in epithelial cells by stimulating type V TGF‐β receptor (TβR‐V)‐mediated tumor suppressor signaling

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances, 2021
The TGF‐β type V receptor (TβR‐V) mediates growth inhibition by IGFBP‐3 and TGF‐β in epithelial cells and loss of TβR‐V expression in these cells leads to development of carcinoma.

EGF and TGF-β1 effects on thyroid function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Normal epithelial thyroid cells in culture are inhibited by TGF-β1. Instead, transformed thyroid cell lines are frequently resistant to its growth inhibitory effect. Loss of TGF-β responsiveness could be due to a reduced expression of TGF-β receptors, as

Identification of a Unique TGF-β Dependent Molecular and Functional Signature in Microglia

open access: yesNature Neuroscience, 2013
Microglia are myeloid cells of the CNS that participate both in normal CNS function and in disease. We investigated the molecular signature of microglia and identified 239 genes and 8 microRNAs that were uniquely or highly expressed in microglia versus ...

Intricacies of TGF-β signaling in Treg and Th17 cell biology

open access: yesCellular & Molecular Immunology, 2023
Balanced immunity is pivotal for health and homeostasis. CD4^+ helper T (Th) cells are central to the balance between immune tolerance and immune rejection. Th cells adopt distinct functions to maintain tolerance and clear pathogens.

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 and Transforming Growth Factor-β Stimulate Cystine/Glutamate Exchange Activity in Dental Pulp Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction The growth factors insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are protective to dental pulp cells in culture against the toxicity of the composite materials Durafill VS and Flow Line (Henry Schein Inc, New ...

A functionally specialized population of mucosal CD103+ DCs induces Foxp3+ regulatory T cells via a TGF-β– and retinoic acid–dependent mechanism

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2007
Foxp3+ regulatory T (T reg) cells play a key role in controlling immune pathological re actions. Many develop their regulatory activity in the thymus, but there is also evidence for development of Foxp3+ T reg cells from naive precursors in the periphery.

MicroRNA-483 amelioration of experimental pulmonary hypertension. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Endothelial dysfunction is critically involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and that exogenously administered microRNA may be of therapeutic benefit.

Pre-existing TGF-β-specific T-cell immunity in patients with pancreatic cancer predicts survival after checkpoint inhibitors combined with radiotherapy

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2023
Background Circulating transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-specific T cells that recognize TGF-β-expressing immune regulatory cells have been described in patients with cancer.
