Attenuation of CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in mice by vaccinating against TGF-β1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is the pivotal pro-fibrogenic cytokine in hepatic fibrosis. Reducing the over-produced expression of TGF-β1 or blocking its signaling pathways is considered to be a promising therapeutic strategy for hepatic ...

GLI2 regulates TGF-β1 in human CD4+ T cells: implications in cancer and HIV pathogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Elevated levels of the immunoregulatory cytokine TGF-β1 in cancer and HIV infection have been linked to the suppression of protective immune responses. The transcriptional regulation of TGF-β1 is complex and still not completely understood.

Genetic dominance of transforming growth factor-β1 polymorphisms in chronic liver disease
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Chronic liver disease (CLD) is an extremely common clinical condition accompanied by sustained inflammatory response leading to tissue damage. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is known as a master immune regulator in CLDs, but the association ...

TGF-β1 exerts opposing effects on grass carp leukocytes: implication in teleost immunity, receptor signaling and potential self-regulatory mechanisms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In fish immunity, the regulatory role of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) has not been fully characterized. Here we examined the immunoregulatory effects of TGF-β1 in grass carp peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) and head kidney leukocytes (HKL). It

Conditional expression of TGF-β1 in skeletal muscles causes endomysial fibrosis and myofibers atrophy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 To study the effects of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) on fibrosis and failure of regeneration of skeletal muscles, we generated a tet-repressible muscle-specific TGF-β1 transgenic mouse in which expression of TGF-β1 is controlled by oral ...

Akt activation is required for TGF-β1-induced osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: We have previously reported that repeated treatment of human periodontal ligament cells and murine pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells with transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) inhibited their osteoblastic differentiation because of decreased
