Journal ArticleDOI

Fumaric acid esters exert neuroprotective effects in neuroinflammation via activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway

TL;DR: The ability of dimethylfumarate to activate nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-related factor 2 may offer a novel cytoprotective modality that further augments the natural antioxidant responses in multiple sclerosis tissue and is not yet targeted by other multiple sclerosis therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blockade of TGF-β inhibits mammary tumor cell viability, migration, and metastases

TL;DR: Blockade of TGF-β signaling may reduce tumor cell viability and migratory potential and represents a testable therapeutic approach against metastatic carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fumarates Promote Cytoprotection of Central Nervous System Cells against Oxidative Stress via the Nuclear Factor (Erythroid-Derived 2)-Like 2 Pathway

TL;DR: DMF and MMF are cytoprotective for neurons and astrocytes against oxidative stress-induced cellular injury and loss, potentially via up-regulation of an Nrf2-dependent antioxidant response, and these data suggest DMF andMMF may function through improving mitochondrial function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory effects of astroglial α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are mediated by inhibition of the NF-κB pathway and activation of the Nrf2 pathway.

TL;DR: The results suggest that activating astroglial α7 nAChRs may have a role in neuroprotection by decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress, and therefore could have therapeutic implication for disease modifying treatments of neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming Growth Factor-Beta-Dependent Events in Vascular Remodeling following Arterial Injury

TL;DR: In conclusion, adventitial fibrosis with abundant collagen matrix deposition but not adventitial cell proliferation is dependent upon endogenous TGF-β activity, and inhibition of T GF-β signaling prevents injury-induced reduction in lumen area by promoting vessel enlargement.
