Abstract:
Nephronectin (NPNT) is an extracellular matrix protein in the glomerular basement membrane that is produced by podocytes and is important for the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier. Upregulated transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and altered NPNT are seen in different glomerular diseases. TGF-β downregulates NPNT and upregulates NPNT-targeting microRNAs (miRs). However, the pathways involved were previously unknown. By using selective inhibitors of the canonical, SMAD-dependent, and non-canonical TGF-β pathways, we investigated NPNT transcription, translation, secretion, and regul

Abstract:
To date, more than 20 different vertebrate master sex-determining genes have been identified on different sex chromosomes of mammals, birds, frogs and fish. Interestingly, six of these genes are transcription factors ( Dmrt1 - or Sox3 - related) and 13 others belong to the TGF-β signalling pathway ( Amh , Amhr2 , Bmpr1b , Gsdf and Gdf6 ). This pattern suggests that only a limited group of factors/signalling pathways are prone to become top regulators again and again.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) mediates numerous biological processes, including embryonic development and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis in a context-dependent manner.

However, once carcinogenesis is initiated, the TGF-β signaling pathway promotes cancer progression. This dichotomous function of the TGF-β signaling pathway is mediated th

Hence, TrkB could play a role in disrupting the potent TGF-β-mediated growth inhibition, a concept that has not been fully explored.

FA patients develop bone marrow failure during the first decade of life due to attrition of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). FA is caused by autosomal recessive or X-linked mutations in one of nineteen FANC genes, the products of which cooperate in the FA/BRCA DNA repair pathway and regulate cellular resistance to genotoxic DNA cross-linking agents. Although its mechanism is unknown, bone marrow failure in FA may be the result, directly or indirectly, of hyperactivation of cell-autonomous or m
