Mutations in genes encoding members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta superfamily have been identified in idiopathic forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The current study examined whether perturbations to the TGF-beta/Smad2,3 signalling axis occurred in a monocrotaline (MCT) rodent model of experimental PAH. Expression of the TGF-beta signalling machinery was assessed in the lungs and...
