大鼠肺纤维化血小板源性生长因子、血小板源性生长因子—受体、转化生长因子—β、转化生长因子—β受体的表达 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
采用免疫组织化学方法观察实验性大鼠肺纤维化肺组织内转化生长因子(TGF-β)及其受体(TGF-βR)和血小板源性生长因子(PDGF)及其受体(PDGF-R)表达的变化。发现:(1)实验早期(1-3天),TGF-β主要由单核巨噬细胞为主的炎症细胞所产生;7天以后直至实验结束(28天),TGF-β阳性细胞主要为增生的间质细胞,TGF-βR的变化与之同步。(2)实验1-7天,病灶内单核巨噬细胞细胞PDGF染色呈强阳性反应,少量间质细胞呈阳性反应;14天以后,病灶内PDGF阳性的单核巨噬细胞减少,阳性间质细胞亦减少。PDGF-R的变化与PDGF相似。结果提示PDGF的主要来源是巨噬细胞,在肺纤维化的早、中期发挥重要作用,而TGF-β主要由间质细胞自身产生,在肺纤维化的中、后期发挥重要作用,促细胞外基质合成,使肺纤维化进行性进展。 相似文献

Skeletal tissue and transforming growth factor beta 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Normal skeletal growth results from a balance between the processes of bone matrix synthesis and resorption. These activities are regulated by both systemic and local factors. Bone turnover is dynamic, and skeletal growth must be maintained throughout life. Although many growth promoters are associated with bone matrix, it is enriched particularly with transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) activity. Experimental evidence indicates that TGF-beta regulates replication and differentiation of mesenchymal precursor cells, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Recent studies further suggest that TGF-beta activity in skeletal tissue may be controlled at multiple levels by other local and systemic agents. Consequently, the intricate mechanisms by which TGF-beta regulates bone formation are likely to be fundamental to understanding the processes of skeletal growth during development, maintenance of bone mass in adult life, and healing subsequent to bone fracture. 相似文献

Human transforming growth factor beta.alpha 2-macroglobulin complex is a latent form of transforming growth factor beta 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
125I-Labeled human platelet-derived transforming growth factor beta (125I-TGF-beta) and human alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) formed a complex as demonstrated by 5% native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 125I-TGF-beta.alpha 2M complex migrated at a position identical to that of the fast migrating form of alpha 2M. Most of the 125I-TGF-beta.alpha 2M complex could be dissociated by acid or urea treatment. When 125I-TGF-beta was incubated with serum, the high molecular weight form of 125I-TGF-beta could be immunoprecipitated by anti-human alpha 2M anti-sera as demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. alpha 2M purified from platelet-rich plasma also showed the latent transforming growth factor activity and immunoreactivity of TGF-beta. These results suggest that TGF-beta.alpha 2M complex is a latent form of TGF-beta. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signals through three high affinity cell surface receptors, TGF-beta type I, type II, and type III receptors. The type III receptor, also known as betaglycan, binds to the type II receptor and is thought to act solely by "presenting" the TGF-beta ligand to the type II receptor. The short cytoplasmic domain of the type III receptor is thought to have no role in TGF-beta signaling because deletion of this domain has no effect on association with the type II receptor, or with the presentation role of the type III receptor. Here we demonstrate that the cytoplasmic domains of the type III and type II receptors interact specifically in a manner dependent on the kinase activity of the type II receptor and the ability of the type II receptor to autophosphorylate. This interaction results in the phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of the type III receptor by the type II receptor. The type III receptor with the cytoplasmic domain deleted is able to bind TGF-beta, to bind the type II receptor, and to enhance TGF-beta binding to the type II receptor but is unable to enhance TGF-beta2 signaling, determining that the cytoplasmic domain is essential for some functions of the type III receptor. The type III receptor functions by selectively binding the autophosphorylated type II receptor via its cytoplasmic domain, thus promoting the preferential formation of a complex between the autophosphorylated type II receptor and the type I receptor and then dissociating from this active signaling complex. These studies, for the first time, elucidate important functional roles of the cytoplasmic domain of the type III receptor and demonstrate that these roles are essential for regulating TGF-beta signaling. 相似文献

The cell biology of transforming growth factor beta 总被引:49,自引:0,他引:49
The TGF beta family of polypeptide growth factors regulates a remarkable diversity of cellular functions, many of which are not directly associated with cell growth. The present review has summarized many of the recent studies that have just begun to conceptually integrate this expanding array of TGF beta functions into the context of a three-dimensional, multicellular organ or tissue, be it normal or diseased. This fascinating research strongly implicates TGF beta as a key modulator of a wide variety of important physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. 相似文献

Role of transforming growth factor beta in cancer 总被引:37,自引:0,他引:37

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is an effective and ubiquitous mediator of cell growth. The significance of this cytokine in cancer susceptibility, cancer development and progression has become apparent over the past few years. TGF-beta plays various roles in the process of malignant progression. It is a potent inhibitor of normal stromal, hematopoietic, and epithelial cell growth. However, at some point during cancer development the majority of transformed cells become either partly or completely resistant to TGF-beta growth inhibition. There is growing evidence that in the later stages of cancer development TGF-beta is actively secreted by tumor cells and not merely acts as a bystander but rather contributes to cell growth, invasion, and metastasis and decreases host-tumor immune responses. Subtle alteration of TGF-beta signaling may also contribute to the development of cancer. These various effects are tissue and tumor dependent. Identifying and understanding TGF-beta signaling pathway abnormalities in various malignancies is a promising avenue of study that may yield new modalities to both prevent and treat cancer. The nature, prevalence, and significance of TGF-beta signaling pathway alterations in various forms of human cancer as well as potential preventive and therapeutic interventions are discussed in this review. 相似文献

Defining the actions of transforming growth factor beta in reproduction 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

Members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) family are pleiotropic cytokines with key roles in tissue morphogenesis and growth. TGFbeta1, TGFbeta2 and TGFbeta3 are abundant in mammalian reproductive tissues, where development and cyclic remodelling continue in post-natal and adult life. Potential roles for TGFbeta have been identified in gonad and secondary sex organ development, spermatogenesis and ovarian function, immunoregulation of pregnancy, embryo implantation and placental development. However, better tools must now be employed to map more precisely essential functions and the regulatory networks governing their activity. Gene ablation and transgenic models are expected to provide novel insights into distinct physiological activities for each TGFbeta isoform in normal reproductive function and reproductive pathologies. It is also necessary to consider the mechanisms controlling TGFbeta activation from latent precursor forms, and receptor and binding protein expression. Smad intracellular signalling circuitry and modulation by environmental stimuli through cross-talk with other signal transduction pathways will further constrain TGFbeta action. This review examines existing evidence for TGFbeta1, TGFbeta2 and TGFbeta3 regulation of male and female reproductive biology, and highlights prospects for future research. 相似文献

The type III transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) receptor (TbetaRIII) binds both TGFbeta and inhibin with high affinity and modulates the association of these ligands with their signaling receptors. However, the significance of TbetaRIII signaling in vivo is not known. In this study, we have sought to determine the role of TbetaRIII during development. We identified the predominant expression sites of TbetaRIII mRNA as liver and heart during midgestation and have disrupted the murine TbetaRIII gene by homologous recombination. Beginning at embryonic day 13.5, mice with mutations in TbetaRIII developed lethal proliferative defects in heart and apoptosis in liver, indicating that TbetaRIII is required during murine somatic development. To assess the effects of the absence of TbetaRIII on the function of its ligands, primary fibroblasts were generated from TbetaRIII-null and wild-type embryos. Our results indicate that TbetaRIII deficiency differentially affects the activities of TGFbeta ligands. Notably, TbetaRIII-null cells exhibited significantly reduced sensitivity to TGFbeta2 in terms of growth inhibition, reporter gene activation, and Smad2 nuclear localization, effects not observed with other ligands. These data indicate that TbetaRIII is an important modulator of TGFbeta2 function in embryonic fibroblasts and that reduced sensitivity to TGFbeta2 may underlie aspects of the TbetaRIII mutant phenotype. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor beta3 (TGF-beta3) is an important mediator of growth, maintenance, and repair processes in human cells. Internal dynamic properties have been derived from (15)N NMR relaxation data and mapped onto the spatial structure of TGF-beta3. The pattern of internal dynamics in the structure identifies potential "hot spots" of binding free energy and reveals the importance of conformational entropy in the interaction of TGF-beta3 with the receptors. The observed internal dynamics set TGF-beta3 apart from other TGF-beta isoforms, with which it shares the same fold. These findings may explain functional differences among the various TGF-beta isoforms and thus prove essential in the search for related therapeutic agents. 相似文献
