TGF-β1-Induced Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition Promotes Monocyte/Macrophage Properties in Breast Cancer Cells [PDF]
Breast cancer progression toward metastatic disease is linked to re-activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a latent developmental process. Breast cancer cells undergoing EMT lose epithelial characteristics and gain the capacity to invade the surrounding tissue and migrate away from the primary tumor.

Preparation and functional identification of anti-human transforming growth factor β1 nanobodies [PDF]
Objective To prepare alpaca-derived anti-human TGF-β1 nanobodies with high specificity and high affinity. Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid cFUGW-TGF-β1 was constructed and transiently transfected into HEK-293T cells to obtain recombinant TGF-β1 ...

Pulmonary fibrosis is potentiated by a positive feedback loop involving the extracellular sialidase enzyme neuraminidase 3 (NEU3) causing release of active TGF-β1 and TGF-β1 upregulating NEU3 by increasing translation without affecting mRNA levels.

CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung [PDF]
Pulmonary fibrosis is a difficult to treat, often fatal disease whose pathogenesis involves dysregulated TGF-β1 signaling. CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory T cells ("Tregs") exert important effects on host tolerance and arise from naïve CD4+ lymphocytes in response to TGF-β1.

TGF-β1 Negatively Regulates the Number and Function of Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Summary: Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) plays a role in the maintenance of quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vivo. We asked whether TGF-β1 controls the cell cycle status of HSCs in vitro to enhance the reconstitution activity.

Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

A crosstalk between the Smad and JNK signaling in the TGF-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells. [PDF]
Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) induces the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the Smad and JNK signaling. However, it is unclear how these pathways interact in the TGF-β1-induced EMT in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells ...
