P311 induces a TGF-β1–independent, nonfibrogenic myofibroblast phenotype
2002-11-01
Abstract excerpt
P311, also called PTZ17, was identified by suppressive subtraction hybridization as potentially involved in smooth muscle (SM) myogenesis. P311 is an 8-kDa protein with several PEST-like motifs found in neurons and muscle. P311 transfection into two fibroblast cell lines, NIH 3T3 and C3H10 T1/2, induced phenotypic changes consistent with myofibroblast transformation, including upregulation of SM α−actin and SM22,...
