Delforce SJ, Lumbers ER, Corbisier de Meaultsart C, Wang Y, Proietto A, Otton G, Scurry J, Verrills NM, Scott RJ, Pringle KG.
PMID: 27956412
Endocr Connect. 2017 Jan;6(1):9-19. doi: 10.1530/EC-16-0082. Epub 2016 Dec 12.

A dysfunctional endometrial renin-angiotensin system (RAS) could aid the growth and spread of endometrial cancer. To determine if the RAS is altered in endometrial cancer, we measured RAS gene expression and protein levels in 30 human formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE)...

We determined mRNA expression of genes of endothelin-1 (ET-1), and of the transforming growth factor beta ligands (TGFβ1, TGFβ2 and TGFβ3), their receptors (TβRI and TβRII) and their pseudoreceptor BAMBI in the heart of broilers raised under cold temperature...

The Signaling Mechanism of TGF-β1 Induced Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cell Apoptosis.

Asian-Australasian journal of animal sciences

Di HS, Wang LG, Wang GL, Zhou L, Yang YY.
PMID: 25049567
Asian-Australas J Anim Sci. 2012 Mar;25(3):304-10. doi: 10.5713/ajas.2011.11251.

The present study showed that Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) can induce apoptosis of bovine mammary epithelial cells. This apoptosis was also observed with phosphorylation of Smad2/3 within 0.5-2 h. Afterwards the signal transferred into the nucleus. Moreover,...
