Enhanced serum concentrations of transforming growth factor-beta1 in simple fatty liver: is it really benign?

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2008
Background Inside the spectrum of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, simple fatty liver is generally thought of as being "non progressive", differently from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which increases in severity due to the presence of apoptosis ...

Serum level of transforming growth factor-beta1 in major idiopathic interstitial pneumonia

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2020
Background Different inflammatory cytokines play a role in the mechanism and pathogenesis of fibrosis in idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) has become a subject of interest.

Activation of transforming growth factor beta by malaria parasite-derived metalloproteinases and a thrombospondin-like molecule [PDF]

, 2003
Much of the pathology of malaria is mediated by inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin 12, interferon gamma, and tumor necrosis factor alpha), which are part of the immune response that kills the parasite.

Transforming growth factor-beta1 and glial growth factor 2 reduce neurotrophin-3 mRNA expression in cultured Schwann cells via a cAMP-dependent pathway.

, 1999
The aim of the study was to determine which factors regulated the expression of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) mRNA in cultured primary Schwann cells derived from sciatic nerve of neonatal rats.

Association between Genetic Variants of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and Susceptibility of Pneumoconiosis: A Meta-analysis

Chinese Medical Journal, 2017
Background: Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and gene variants have been extensively studied in various human diseases. For example, TGF-β1 polymorphisms were associated with fibrosis and pneumoconiosis, but the data remained controversial. The

Differences in Hypertrophic Scar Fibroblasts according to Scar Severity: Expression of Transforming Growth Factor beta1 at the mRNA and Protein Levels [PDF]

Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2015
Background Hypertrophic scars result from excessive collagen deposition and increased transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta1) levels. We hypothesized that the expression of TGF-beta1 mRNA and protein would increase with the clinical severity of ...

Smad4 and ERK2 stimulated by transforming growth factor beta1 in rhabdomyosarcoma

Chinese Medical Journal, 2007
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays an essential role in the regulation of normal physiologic processes of cells. TGF-beta has been shown to regulate several mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways in several epithelial cells. However, the effects of TGF-beta on soft tissue sarcoma are seldom reported.
