Although basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) had been shown to inhibit type I collagen gene expression in osteoblast, its inhibitory mechanism is unknown. In the present study, we investigated the underlying mechanisms by which growth factors downregulate type I collagen gene expression. Treatmen

## Abstract The plateletβderived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) is a tyrosine kinase, implicated in the development and progression of different tumors, including gliomas. Chemoresistance is a common feature of malignant gliomas. Since receptor tyrosine kinases contribute to chemoresistance in tumo
## Abstract Multiple studies have shown that migration, proliferation, and differentiation of oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage cells are influenced by fibroblast growth factorβ2 (FGFβ2) signaling through its receptors (FGFR) FGFRβ1, FGFRβ2, and FGFRβ3. We report the effectiveness and specificity of a u
## Abstract ## Objective To examine the roles of STATs 1 and 3 in CCL2 production in human osteoblastic cells and their influences on arthritis development. ## Methods The expression of CCL2 in primary human osteoblasts and U2OS human osteoblastic cells was examined by Northern blotting and enzy
Upon liver injury, hepatic stellate cells (HSC) show increased proliferation, motility, and extracellular matrix (ECM) production. The extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) control different functions in a cell-specific manner. In this study, we evaluated the role of ERK activation in culture
