Immunohistochemical evaluation of phosphorylated SMAD2/SMAD3 and the co-activator P300 in human glomerulonephritis: correlation with renal injury
2006-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Background: Smad2 and Smad3 are transcription factors that mediate transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signals. Upon their activation, phosphorylated Smad2/Smad3 (pSmad2/Smad3), translocate to the nucleus and associate with co-activators such as p300, regulating the transcription of genes that contribute to the fibrotic processes. Methods: We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of pSmad2/Smad3 and...
