Finally, TGF decreased cell viability (p < 0.05) and promoted caspase 3 activity (p = 0.08) and the expression of pro-apoptotic FASL and BAX (p < 0.05). Our results suggest that TGF supports functional regression and structural luteolysis, and also confirm the importance of ALK5, ALK4 and ALK7 activation during PGF2a mediated luteolysis in mares.

The involvement of Smad signaling onto AM effects on HaCaT keratinocytes was further corroborated by overexpression of either Smad2 or Smad3 and the use of Smad-phosphorylation specific inhibitors, revealing a differential influence on AM induced migration for each Smad. Thus, AM TGF-ß-Smad-signaling abating is essential for optimal cell migration and wound closure.

Through promoting the myristoylation of PPM1A, CSIG enhanced the phosphatase activity of PPM1A and further inhibited the TGFβ signaling. This work not only extends the biological significance of CSIG but also provides new ideas and reference for the regulatory mechanism study of myristoylation.

Review, Journal, Tumor Mutational Burden, IO Biomarker: Irradiation to Improve the Response to Immunotherapeutic Agents in Glioblastomas. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 25, 2019 Glioblastoma (GBM) remains an incurable disease despite extensive treatment with surgical resection, irradiation, and temozolomide...Various immunotherapy agents, including immune checkpoint modulators, transforming growth factor beta receptor inhibitors, and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase inhibitors, have been evaluated with irradiation in preclinical GBM models, with promising results, and are being further tested in clinical trials. This review aims to present the basic rationale behind this emerging complementary therapeutic approach in GBM, appraise the current preclinical and clinical data, and discuss the future challenges in improving the antitumor immune response.
