## Abstract Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) is induced by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF‐β1) where it acts as a downstream mediator of TGF‐β1 induced matrix production in osteoblasts. We have shown the requirement of Src, Erk, and Smad signaling for CTGF induction by TGF‐β1 in osteo

## Abstract Bleomycin produces its fibrogenic effect, at least in part, by TGF‐β1 secretion. Treatment of IMR‐90 human embryonic lung fibroblasts with bleomycin at 0.5 μg/ml results in a 1.6‐fold increase of TGF‐β1 as determined by a specific ELISA assay for TGF‐β1 after acidification of the condit
## Abstract Parathyroid hormone (PTH) exerts an anabolic action on bone but the mechanisms are incompletely understood. We showed previously that PTH interacts with the canonical Wnt‐β‐catenin signaling pathway via the transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β signaling molecule, Smad3, to modulate osteob
## Abstract Recent data indicate that transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) can act to promote tumour progression in the late stages of carcinogenesis. The mechanism by which this occurs is unknown although a ligand‐induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is thought to be important. In thi
