In this paper, we examined the function of Sma and Drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3), recently characterized as intracellular effector of TGF-beta signalling, in keloid fibroblasts using siRNA.

We identified potential binding sites for IFN response factor (IRF)-3 (nt -734 to -731), Sma- and Mad-related protein (SMAD)-3 (nt -584 to -581), activating transcription factor (ATF)-2 (nt -571 to -568), IRF-7 (nt -533 to-525), and NF-kappaB (nt -215 to -209) in the murine p19 promoter.

TGFbeta1 prevents abnormal T-cell activation through the modulation of Ca2+-calcineurin signaling in a Caenorhabditis elegans Sma and Drosophila Mad proteins (SMAD) 3 and SMAD4-independent manner; however, in Treg cells, its effects are mediated, at least in part, through SMAD signaling.

Because Sma and Mad-related protein (SMAD) 2 and SMAD3 transduce activin signals in vitro, we attempted to define the role of SMAD3 in gonadal tumorigenesis and the wasting syndrome by generating inhibin alpha and Smad3 double mutant mice.

Transforming growth factor beta1, Sma/Mad (Smad) 3, and Smad7 mRNA expression and protein levels in esophageal tissue were detected by means of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, respectively.

The expression level of Smad 3 and Smad 7 protein was detected by Western blot before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 h post stimulation (PSH).

In this study, we report that TGF-beta1-activated SMA- and MAD3 (Smad3/4) transcription factors specifically bound to the second promoter region of HDM2, leading to increased HDM2 protein expression and destabilization of p53 in human cancer cell lines.

Mol Endocrinol. 2007 Oct;21(10):2472-86. Epub 2007 Jun 26.


In ethanol- and acetaldehyde-induced HSCs, zinc inhibited the activation of the p38 MAPK as well as the JNK transduction pathways and phosphorylation of IkappaB and Smad 3.
