Then rats were sacrificed, their renal pathology examined by HE staining and PASM staining; expressions of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) mRNA, and a-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), TGF-beta1 receptor I (TbetaR I), TGF-beta1 receptor II (TbetaR II) and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (C-Met) protein in kidney tissue were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively.

To understand the role of TGF-beta signaling in cardiovascular development, we generated mice with conditional deletion of the TGF-beta type II receptor (TbetaRII) gene (Tgfbr2) in cells expressing the smooth muscle cell-specific protein SM22alpha.

Binding of TGF-beta leads to the activation of an intracellular signaling cascade and subsequent phosphorylation of Sma and MAD-related proteins (SMAD).
Here we used adenoviral gene transfer to express TbetaR-IIs and -IIIs in human glioma cell lines.
