We have attempted to describe and compare the effect of fibroblast growth factor ( FGF ) and transforming growth factor beta ( TGFbeta ) on NOS-II mRNA level in three different cell species : rat, bovine, and human
Hamby et al., Glia 2006
(Encephalitis) :
Evidence suggests that TGF-beta1 can either attenuate or augment NOS-2 expression, with the prevailing effect dependent on the experimental paradigm employed and the cell-type under study ... The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of TGF-beta1 on astrocytic NOS-2 expression ... In purified astrocyte cultures, TGF-beta1 alone did not induce NOS-2 or NO production
Hamby et al., Neurochem Int 2008
(Encephalitis...) :
A recent study examining the regulation of astrocytic NOS-2 expression demonstrated that transforming growth factor-beta1 ( TGF beta 1 ) potentiated LPS plus IFN gamma induced NOS-2 expression via expansion of the pool of astrocytes that express NOS-2
