1. Transforming growth factor-beta family members are regulated during induced luteolysis in cattle
Abstract The transforming growth factors beta (TGFβ) are local factors produced by ovarian cells which, after binding to their receptors, regulate follicular deviation and ovulation. However, their regulation and function during corpus luteum (CL) regression has been poorly investigated. The present study evaluated the mRNA regulation of some TGFβ family l

2. "Expressão de proteo-heparans sulfato de superfície celular no crescimento gengival induzido pela ciclosporina-A em humanos" / Expression of cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans in human cyclosporin-induced gingival overgrowth
O crescimento gengival induzido por ciclosporina-A (CG) é caracterizado por uma variedade de sinalizações que envolvem fatores de crescimento e proteoglicanos, porém pouco compreendidas. Investigamos a expressão gênica dos proteoheparans sulfato de superfície celular sindecam-2 (SDC-2), -4 (SDC-4) e betaglicam nesse CG. A quantidade total e relativa d

3. Endogenous Betaglycan Is Essential for High-Potency Inhibin Antagonism in Gonadotropes
Inhibins are endocrine hormones that regulate gametogenesis and reproduction through a negative feedback loop with FSH. Inhibin action involves antagonism of signaling by activin or other TGFβ family ligands. In transfection assays, antagonism by inhibin can be potentiated by betaglycan, a coreceptor for selected TGFβ family ligands. We tested whether beta

4. Characterization of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptors on BeWo choriocarcinoma cells including the identification of a novel 38-kDa TGF-beta binding glycoprotein.
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a potential mediator of placental trophoblast functions, including differentiation, hormone production, endometrial invasion, and immunosuppression. Equilibrium binding and affinity-labeling assays were used to investigate the binding characteristics of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 on an established human choriocarc

5. Normal Reproductive Function in InhBP/p120-Deficient Mice
The inhibins are gonadal transforming growth factor β superfamily protein hormones that suppress pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis. Recently, betaglycan and inhibin binding protein (InhBP/p120, also known as the product of immunoglobulin superfamily gene 1 [IGSF1]) were identified as candidate inhibin coreceptors, shedding light on the

6. Independent changes in type I and type II receptors for transforming growth factor beta induced by bone morphogenetic protein 2 parallel expression of the osteoblast phenotype.
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), a potent regulator of bone formation, has bifunctional effects on osteoblast replication and biochemical activity that appear differentiation dependent. We now show that cell surface binding sites for TGF-beta vary markedly among fibroblasts, bone-derived cells, and highly differentiated osteosarcoma cultures from

7. Loss of receptors for transforming growth factor beta in human T-cell malignancies.
Ki-1 (CD30)+ cutaneous T-cell lymphomas CTCLs) are slowly progressive lymphomas in which initial spontaneous regression is often observed. To better understand the mechanisms of spontaneous regression and eventual tumor progression in Ki-1+ CTCLs, type beta transforming growth factor (TGF-beta)-mediated growth inhibition of clonally related cell lines derive

8. Production and composition of an exocellular Nigeran-protein complex isolated from cultures of Aspergillus awamori.
Aspergillus awamori Nakazawa (QM873) hyphae maintained on a nitrogen-deficient medium produced an exocellular complex consisting of the wall alpha-glucan, nigeran (94%), water-soluble nigeran oligosacchrides (1 to 2%), protein (2 to 4%), and a small amount of beta-glycan (less than 1%). Nigeran was not covalently linked to protein. The complex appeared in th

9. Transforming Growth Factor-β Receptor-3 Is Associated with Pulmonary Emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous syndrome, including emphysema and airway disease. Phenotypes defined on the basis of chest computed tomography (CT) may decrease disease heterogeneity and aid in the identification of candidate genes for COPD subtypes. To identify these genes, we performed genome-wide linkage analysis in extende

10. Different Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans Serve as Cellular Receptors for Human Papillomaviruses
Papillomaviruses replicate in stratified epithelia of skin and mucosa. Infection with certain human papillomavirus (HPV) types is the main cause of anogenital neoplasia, in particular cervical cancer. Early events of papillomavirus infectivity are poorly understood. While heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) mediate initial binding to the cell surface, the
