Journal ArticleDOI
Smad6 inhibits signalling by the TGF-Beta superfamily
Takeshi Imamura,Masao Takase,Ayako Nishihara,Eiichi Oeda,Jun-ichi Hanai,Masahiro Kawabata,Kohei Miyazono +6 more
TL;DR: The isolation of Smad6 in the mouse indicates that signals of the TGF-β superfamily are regulated both positively and negatively by members of the SMAD family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of p300, a transcriptional coactivator, in signalling of TGF-beta.
Ayako Nishihara,Jun-ichi Hanai,Nobuaki Okamoto,Jun Yanagisawa,Shigeaki Kato,Kohei Miyazono,Masahiro Kawabata +6 more
TL;DR: Adenoviral oncoprotein E1A, which binds p300, was shown to inhibit the signalling of TGF‐β, raising the possibility that p300 may be involved in TGF-β signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI
BMPs Promote Proliferation and Migration of Endothelial Cells via Stimulation of VEGF-A/VEGFR2 and Angiopoietin-1/Tie2 Signalling
TL;DR: It is suggested that BMP signalling activates endothelium via activation of VEGF/VEGFR2 and Angiopoietin/Tie2 signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI
E1A Inhibits Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling through Binding to Smad Proteins
TL;DR: The Smad interaction domain (SID) in p300 is determined and it is found that two adjacent regions are required for the interaction, suggesting a novel mechanism whereby E1A antagonizes TGF-β signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Lysophosphatidic Acid on Proliferation of Stellate Cells and Hepatocytes in Culture
Hitoshi Ikeda,Yutaka Yatomi,Mikio Yanase,Hiroaki Satoh,Ayako Nishihara,Masahiro Kawabata,Kenji Fujiwara +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that LPA might affect proliferation of hepatocytes and stellate cells in liver diseases complicating platelet activation.
