Expression of transforming growth factor β isoforms and their roles in tendon healing
1 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays active roles in tendon healing. However, the differential effects of TGF-beta isoforms on tendon healing have not been investigated. In cultured tendon fibroblasts, we tested the effects of TGF-beta1, beta2, and beta3 on the mRNA levels of COL1A1 and COL3A1 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. We also investigated the expression of TGF-beta...
