Dysregulation of transforming growth factor β signaling in scleroderma: Overexpression of endoglin in cutaneous scleroderma fibroblasts
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: As an initial approach to understanding the basis of the systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) phenotype, we sought to identify genes in the transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) signaling pathway that are up-regulated in lesional SSc fibroblasts relative to their normal counterparts. METHODS: We used gene chip, differential display, fluorescence-activated cell sorter, and overexpression analyses...
