- GPR176 promotes fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition in organ fibrosis progression
myofibroblast marker α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA), the profibrotic factor transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1 GPR176 expression was unaffected by TGFβ1 stimulation in rat renal fibroblast NRK-49 cells, whereas knockdown of Gpr176 by siRNA reduced TGFβ1-induced expression of αSMA, fibronectin, and collagen as well as Smad2 Hironobu Ishimaru, Kazuhito Tsuboi Tags Fibroblast , Fibrosis , Gpr176 , Myofibroblast , Orphan GPCR , TGFβ1
- Stretch regulates alveologenesis and homeostasis via mesenchymal Gαq/11-mediated TGFβ2 activation
Oncology and Immunology Stretch regulates alveologenesis and homeostasis via mesenchymal Gαq/11-mediated TGFβ2 Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) is essential for alveologenesis and lung repair, and the G protein α subunits Gαq and Gα11 (Gαq/11) transmit mechanical and chemical signals to activate TGFβ in epithelial , but was independent of integrins, suggesting an isoform-specific role for TGFβ2 in this model.

- Comparative analysis of the occupancy of Histone H3 Lysine 4 methylation in the cells treated with TGFβ and Interferonγ
Comparative analysis of the occupancy of Histone H3 Lysine 4 methylation in the cells treated with TGFβ Our study has compared the genes showing H3K4me3 occupancy in response to both TGFβ and IFNγ. Several genes were found to be shared between the TGFβ and IFNγ. DAVID Functional enrichment analysis in the TGFβ and IFNγ dataset revealed association of genes with activity, GPCR activity, TGFβ binding activity.
