BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFB1) is a multi-functional cytokine that regulates mammary gland development and cancer progression through endocrine, paracrine and autocrine mechanisms. TGFB1 also plays roles in tumour development and progression, and its increased expression is associated...

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) induces pulmonary fibrosis by enhancing epithelial apoptosis and affects the enzymatic activity of transglutaminase 2 (TG2). The aim of this study was to determine the role of TG2 in TGF-β1-induced lung remodeling and...

Combination gene therapy with adenoviral vector-mediated HSV-tk+GCV and IL-12 in an orthotopic mouse model for prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases

Nasu Y, Bangma CH, Hull GW, Yang G, Wang J, Shimura S, McCurdy MA, Ebara S, Lee HM, Timme TL, Thompson TC.
PMID: 12497062
Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis. 2001;4(1):44-55. doi: 10.1038/sj.pcan.4500494.

We previously demonstrated significant therapeutic activities associated with adenoviral vector-mediated Herpes Simplex Virus/thymidine kinase (AdHSV-tk) with ganciclovir (GCV) in situ gene therapy in the RM-1 orthotopic mouse prostate cancer model and interleukin-12 (AdmIL-12) in situ gene therapy in the...

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Agonist Attenuates Liver Fibrosis by Several Fibrogenic Pathways in an Animal Model of Cholestatic Fibrosis.

Pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology & nutrition

Alatas FS, Matsuura T, Pudjiadi AH, Wijaya S, Taguchi T, Anderson MC, Kustas WP, Alfieri JG, Gao F.
PMID: 32704495
Pediatr Gastroenterol Hepatol Nutr. 2020 Jul;23(4):346-355. doi: 10.5223/pghn.2020.23.4.346. Epub 2020 Jul 03.

PURPOSE: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) has a key role in hepatic fibrogenesis by virtue of its effect on the hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Although many studies have shown that PPAR-γ agonists inhibit liver fibrosis, the mechanism remains largely...

Empagliflozin Protects Against Proximal Renal Tubular Cell Injury Induced by High Glucose via Regulation of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1-Alpha.

Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy

Ndibalema AR, Kabuye D, Wen S, Li L, Li X, Fan Q.
PMID: 32606855
Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes. 2020 Jun 12;13:1953-1967. doi: 10.2147/DMSO.S243170. eCollection 2020.

BACKGROUND: Evidence from both animal and human studies clearly supports the renal beneficial effects of empagliflozin (emp), a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, but the mechanism in which it exerts its effect is not well understood. In this...

Pathways Connecting Late-Life Depression and Dementia.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Linnemann C, Lang UE.
PMID: 32231570
Front Pharmacol. 2020 Mar 13;11:279. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2020.00279. eCollection 2020.

Late-life depression is associated with significant cognitive impairment. Meta-analyses showed that depression is associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and it might be an etiological factor for AD. Since late-life depression is often connected with cognitive...

Inhibitors of DNA methylation support TGF-β1-induced .

Journal of periodontal & implant science

Sufaru IG, Beikircher G, Weinhaeusel A, Gruber R.
PMID: 28462005

PURPOSE: Oral wound healing requires gingival fibroblasts to respond to local growth factors. Epigenetic silencing through DNA methylation can potentially decrease the responsiveness of gingival fibroblasts to local growth factors. In this study, our aim was to determine whether...

Latent Transforming Growth Factor-beta1 Functionalised Electrospun Scaffolds Promote Human Cartilage Differentiation: Towards an Engineered Cartilage Construct.
