转化生长因子-β和/或受体/信号转导功能的异常表达存在于多种疾病过程中,利用组织特异性启动子在转基因小鼠中过度表达转化生长因子-β亚型,为研究转化生长因子-β在完整生物体中活性增加的影响提供了模型系统。我们将回顾其中一些模型的相关特征,并讨论这些研究提供的关于转化生长因子-β在健康和疾病中的调节和作用的新见解。
Aberrant expression of TGF-beta and/or receptor/signaling function is present in a wide variety of disease processes, Overexpression of TGF-beta isoforms in transgenic mice using tissue-specific promoters has provided model systems to study the effects of increased activity of TGF-beta in the intact organism. We will review the pertinent features of some of these models, and discuss new insights provided by these studies into regulation and role of TGF-beta in health and disease.
