The majority of persons with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection develop liver fibrosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of post-inflammatory liver scarring. To clarify the influence of HCV infection on liver fibrosis, a reporter assay was used

## Abstract PTEN is a critical tumor suppressor gene mutated frequently in various human cancers. Previous studies have showed that PTEN mRNA expression is down‐regulated by TGF‐β1 in various cell lines. In present study, we have found that TGF‐β1 down‐regulates PTEN mRNA and protein expression in
## Abstract This article describes the modulation, by extracellular collagen, of DNA and proteoglycan synthesis in articular chondrocytes stimulated with transforming growth factor‐β1, Type‐I and type‐II collagen, heat denatured type‐II collagen, and bovine serum albumin were each incorporated into
A complex interrelationship exists between the extracellular matrix and cytokine signaling in articular chondrocytes. We sought to determine whether the extracellular matrix serves as a regulatory component of transforming growth factor-beta1 expression. Bovine articular chondrocytes were isolated a
