TGF-β1 induces the proliferation, migration and differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth

Aim: This study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) viability, proliferation, migration and differentiation into odontoblasts. Methods: SHED was treated with different concentrations of ...

Ursolic acid increases strength in mdx mice model and may decrease fibrosis deposition by tgf-ß downregulation

Int. j. morphol; 40 (1), 2022
SUMMARY: Dystrophin disfunction results in sarcolemma destabilization, leading muscle cell damage by continuous degeneration cycles and limited regeneration. In muscle dystrophy, caused by dystrophin dysfunction, inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis are pathophysiological muscle function loss characterist...

Effects of laser photobiomodulation on tgf-ß and vegf expression in burn wound: systematic review and meta-analysis in the animal model

Int. j. morphol; 40 (1), 2022
SUMMARY: Laser photobiomodulation (laser PBM) is known to be able to accelerate burn wound healing in the animal model; however little evidence exists on the action of laser PBM on the expression of important proteins in wound healing in the animal model, such as VEGF and TGF-ß1. The aim of this study w...

O papel de proteínas das vias WNT/ß-Catenina, TGF-ß/BMP4 e SHH na odontogênese e odontomas
The role of proteins from the WNT/ß-Catenin, TGF-ß/BMP4 and SHH pathways in odontogenesis and odontomas

O desenvolvimento do dente depende de uma série de interações sinalizadoras recíprocas entre o epitélio oral (EO) e o ectomesênquima derivado da crista neural, a via WNT com o TGF-β e BMP4 tem sido implicada na tumorigênese. A via de sinalização tipo Wingless (Wnt) / β-catenina é essencial pa...

Resveratrol as an anti-asthmatic agent: could this stilbenoid help against COVID-19 in any way? a meta-analysis

Resveratrol is a phenolic phytoconstituent found in many plants. This molecule has always caught the attention of scientists because of biological potentials such as inhibition of inflammation, oxidative stress and platelet aggregation as well as to prevent/protect against cardiovascular and neurodegen...

Presentación atípica de síndrome de CamuratiEngelmann en una paciente femenina colombiana. Reporte de caso

Med. UIS; 34 (1), 2021
Resumen El síndrome de Camurati-Engelmann, también conocido como displasia diafisaria progresiva, es una enfermedad rara, autosómica dominante y con una prevalencia de uno por cada millón de habitantes. Genera mutaciones del factor de crecimiento transformante beta, que participa en la proliferación...

Suckling by Schistosoma mansoni-infected mothers restored IgG2a and TGF-β production, but not IL-6 and delayed-type hypersensitivity in IL-12/IL-23-deficient mice

Abstract INTRODUCTION Suckling by schistosomotic mice improves anti-ovalbumin (OA) antibody production, while delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) remains unaffected. This property of milk from schistosomotic mice was investigated in IL-12/IL-23-deficient mice (IL-12p40KO). METHODS We compared anti-OA...

Melittin suppresses growth and induces apoptosis of non-small-cell lung cancer cells via down-regulation of TGF-β-mediated ERK signal pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (2), 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer effect of melittin on growth, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. This study also explored the potential anti-cancer mechanism of melittin in NSCLC cells. The results demonstrated that melittin suppre...

Effect of rhBMP-2 applied with a 3D-printed titanium implant on new bone formation in rabbit calvarium

J. appl. oral sci; 29 (), 2021
Abstract Objective This study sought to compare the biocompatibility of a three-dimensional (3D)-printed titanium implant with a conventional machined titanium product, as well as the effect of such implant applied with recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein Type 2 (rhBMP-2) for guided bone regen...

The effect of mild hypothermia plus rutin on the treatment of spinal cord injury and inflammatory factors by repressing TGF-β/smad pathway

Acta cir. bras; 36 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose To probe the mechanism of mild hypothermia combined with rutin in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Thirty rats were randomized into the following groups: control, sham, model, mild hypothermia (MH), and mild hypothermia plus rutin (MH+Rutin). We used modified Allen's ...
