The essential role for c-Ski in mediating TGF-β1-induced bi-directional effects on skin fibroblast proliferation through a feedback loop
11 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
The bi-directional regulation of TGF-beta1 (transforming growth factor-beta1) on fibroblast proliferation with stimulation at low concentration, but inhibition at high concentration, has important significance during tissue repair. The mechanism has not been defined. c-Ski is a major co-repressor of TGF-beta1/Smad3 signalling; however, the exact role of c-Ski in the bi-directional regulation of fibroblast...
