THU0271 SERUM LEVELS OF TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR î‘ (TGF-î‘) IN PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY SJÖGREN'S SYNDROME [PDF]
Background Primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease affecting primarily exocrine, especially salivary, glands. The epithelial damage, autoantigens release, activation of innate and acquired immunity form the underlaying of the pSS pathogenesis. The main role in pSS is played by B-lymphocytes and production of autoantibodies.

TGF-β regulates nerve growth factor expression in a mouse intervertebral disc injury model
Background Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a major cause of low back pain (LBP). Following disc injury, nerve growth factor (NGF) concentrations rise in IVDs, and anti-NGF therapy has been shown to attenuate LBP in humans.

Regulation of the transforming growth factor β pathway by reversible ubiquitylation [PDF]
The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signalling pathway plays a central role during embryonic development and in adult tissue homeostasis. It regulates gene transcription through a signalling cascade from cell surface receptors to intracellular SMAD ...

Transforming growth factor β signaling overcomes dasatinib resistance in lung cancer. [PDF]
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite recent advances in the development of targeted therapies, patients with advanced disease remain incurable, mostly because metastatic non-small cell lung ...

Transforming growth factor β1 inhibition protects from noise-induced hearing loss [PDF]
Excessive exposure to noise damages the principal cochlear structures leading to hearing impairment. Inflammatory and immune responses are central mechanisms in cochlear defensive response to noise but, if unregulated, they contribute to inner ear damage and hearing loss.

Expression of epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor α in interfacial membranes retrieved at revision total hip arthroplasty [PDF]
The interfacial membrane between bone and implant has been shown to be a key tissue in the process of aseptic loosening of total hip arthroplasty. The cells within the interfacial membrane produce numerous inflammatory mediators which, through complex mechanisms, cause periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening.
