USP7 Promotes TGF-β1 Signaling by De-Ubiquitinating Smad2/Smad3 in Pulmonary Fibrosis
1 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a long-term, progressive, and irreversible pulmonary interstitial disease. The activation of Smad family member 2 (Smad2) and Smad3 transcription factors by transforming growth factor β-1 (TGF-β1) is a critical event in the pathogenesis of IPF. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the molecular mechanisms governing Smad2 and Smad3 proteins....
