The RhoA Activator GEF-H1/Lfc Is a Transforming Growth Factor-β Target Gene and Effector That Regulates α-Smooth Muscle Actin Expression and Cell Migration

21 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

Maintenance of the epithelial phenotype is crucial for tissue homeostasis. In the retina, dedifferentiation and loss of integrity of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) leads to retinal dysfunction and fibrosis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta critically contributes to RPE dedifferentiation and induces various responses, including increased Rho signaling, up-regulation of alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA),...
