Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Inhibition of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Activation Is Mediated via Smad3

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that the ability of TGF-β1 to inhibit markers of VSMC activation, inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) and interleukin (IL)-6, is mediated through its downstream effector Smad3, which plays an essential role in mediating TGF -β1 anti-inflammatory response in VSMCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microarray analysis of in vitro pericyte differentiation reveals an angiogenic program of gene expression.

TL;DR: The results of these studies show that factors produced by pericytes may be responsible for recruiting ECs and promoting angiogenesis, and further understanding of the genes involved in pericyte differentiation could provide a novel approach for developing anti‐angiogenic therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo evidence for a limited role of proximal tubular Klotho in renal phosphate handling

TL;DR: Klotho expressed in the proximal tubules has a defined but limited role in renal phosphate handling in vivo and hyperphosphatemia in knockout mice was mild or nonexistent under basal conditions but occurred upon high phosphate loading, indicating the presence of compensatory mechanisms.
