Abstract excerpt
SMAD3 is one of the receptor-activated SMADs which are important in TGF-beta signal transduction. Smad3-null mice show accelerated cutaneous wound healing compared with wild-type mice. In this work, we investigated the functions and the mechanism of Smad3-mediated TGF-beta signal on matrix metaloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in mouse fibroblast. We found that MMP-2 at wound bed was expressed earlier in Smad3-null mice...
