In search of the fibrotic epithelial cell: opportunities for a collaborative networkGisli Jenkins
Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK
Thorax 67:179-82. 2012..The central themes discussed in the workshop have been compiled as the proceedings of the ECIPF...
The role of proteases in transforming growth factor-beta activationGisli Jenkins
University of Nottingham, Clinical Sciences Building, Nottingham City Hospital, Nottingham NG5 1PB, UK
Int J Biochem Cell Biol 40:1068-78. 2008..This review describes the mechanism of protease driven TGF-beta activation, and discusses the physiological and pathological relevance of this process...
TGF-β activation and lung fibrosisAmanda L Tatler
Nottingham Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit, Nottingham University Hospitals, University of Nottingham, Hucknall Road, Nottingham, UK
Proc Am Thorac Soc 9:130-6. 2012..This article describes the mechanisms through which epithelial cells activate TGF-β by the αvβ6 integrin and mesenchymal cells activate TGF-β by the αvβ5 integrin, and highlights their roles in lung fibrosis...
Integrin αvβ5-mediated TGF-β activation by airway smooth muscle cells in asthmaAmanda L Tatler
Nottingham Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG5 1PB, United Kingdom
J Immunol 187:6094-107. 2011..These data highlight a mechanism of TGF-β activation in asthma and support the hypothesis that bronchoconstriction promotes airway remodeling via integrin mediated TGF-β activation...
The pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosisWilliam R Coward
Nottingham Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit, Clinical Sciences Building, Nottingham City Campus, Nottingham, UK
Ther Adv Respir Dis 4:367-88. 2010..The resulting deposition of excess disrupted matrix by these myofibroblasts leads to the development of IPF...
Lysophosphatidic acid induces alphavbeta6 integrin-mediated TGF-beta activation via the LPA2 receptor and the small G protein G alpha(q)Ming Yan Xu
Centre for Respiratory Research, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG5 1PB, UK
Am J Pathol 174:1264-79. 2009....
Tryptase activates TGFbeta in human airway smooth muscle cells via direct proteolysisAmanda L Tatler
Centre for Respiratory Research, Clinical Sciences Building, City Hospital, University of Nottingham, Hucknall Road, Nottingham NG5 1PB, UK
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 370:239-42. 2008..The results indicate that tryptase activates TGFbeta via a PAR2-independent proteolytic mechanism in human ASM cells and may help understanding the role of tryptase in asthma...
Role of integrin-mediated TGFbeta activation in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosisAmanda Goodwin
Centre for Respiratory Research, Nottingham Biomedical Research Unit, Nottingham NG5 1PB, UK
Biochem Soc Trans 37:849-54. 2009..Therefore the molecular pathways that lead to integrin-mediated TGFbeta activation must be precisely defined to identify and fully exploit novel therapeutic targets that might ultimately improve the prognosis for patients with IPF...
