Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a major cause of the transplant renal interstitial fibrosis and transplanted kidney epithelial cell transdifferentiation is one of the main mechanisms. The transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/integrin-linked kinase (ILK) signaling pathway has a significant role...

Hepatol Res. 2003 Mar;25(3):296-305. doi: 10.1016/s1386-6346(02)00306-6.

It has recently been reported that angiotensin II (ANGII) stimulates gene expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and is involved in hepatic fibrosis. This effect is thought to be caused through ANGII type 1 receptor (ATR1). However, a role...

Cotreatment with interferon-alpha and -gamma reduces liver fibrosis in a rat model.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology

Takahara T, Sugiyama K, Zhang LP, Ando O, Fujii M, Yata Y, Bo J, Xue F, Minemura M, Watanabe A.
PMID: 15036071
Hepatol Res. 2004 Mar;28(3):146-154. doi: 10.1016/j.hepres.2003.11.003.

Background/Aims: Interferon-alpha is used widely to treat viral hepatitis. Interferon-gamma modulates a system attacking infected cells and also has an anti-fibrotic effect. A treatment with interferon-alpha and -gamma has undergone trials in eliminating hepatitis C virus. We investigated effects...

A role for interferon-beta in Guillain-Barré Syndrome?.

BioDrugs : clinical immunotherapeutics, biopharmaceuticals and gene therapy

Créange A.
PMID: 18034551
BioDrugs. 2000 Jul;14(1):1-11. doi: 10.2165/00063030-200014010-00001.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy that is associated with long-lasting morbidity and a substantial risk of mortality. The 2 reference treatments, plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg), do not change the functional prognosis for the...

Transforming growth factor beta stimulates rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts via the type II receptor.

Modern rheumatology

Bira Y, Tani K, Nishioka Y, Miyata J, Sato K, Hayashi A, Nakaya Y, Sone S.
PMID: 17029045
Mod Rheumatol. 2005;15(2):108-13. doi: 10.1007/s10165-004-0378-2.

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta regulates the function of fibroblasts, and has been shown to have a role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because several studies have demonstrated the presence of TGF-beta in the synovial tissue and synovial...

Effects of cytokines in burn blister fluids on fibroblast proliferation and their inhibition with the use of neutralizing antibodies.

Wound repair and regeneration : official publication of the Wound Healing Society [and] the European Tissue Repair Society

Recent studies have shown that tissue exudates, such as burn blister fluid and donor site wound fluid, have promotive effects on wound healing. In the present study, results obtained with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays showed that at least three cytokines,...

TGFbeta1 expression in colonic mucosa: modulation by dietary lipids.

Genes & nutrition
