| Abstract | Transforming growth factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) is a known pleiotropic growth factor in cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic transition. Fibroblasts are considered the most reactive in the vascular wall. We aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of TGF-ß1 on aortal adventitial fibroblasts (AFs) induced by TGF-ß1. AFs were cultured in vitro by tissue explants. After stimulation by TGF-ß1 and treatment with small interfering RNA (siRNA)-Smad2 and siRNA-Smad3, MTT and the transwell chamber techniques were used for assessing AF proliferation and migration. The expression of phospho (pho)-Smad2, pho-Smad3, Smad7, -smooth muscle actin (SMA) and collagen I and III were evaluated by Western blot analysis and real-time RT-PCR. After stimulation by TGF-ß1 for 24 h, the proliferation and migration of treated AFs were higher compared to those of untreated AFs, as was the expression of Smad2, Smad3, pho-Smad2, pho-Smad3, SMA and collagen I and III (P<0.05), but not Smad7 (P>0.05). Knockdown of Smad2 and Smad3 inhibited proliferation and migration of AFs and down-regulated the expression of SMA and collagen I and III (P<0.05). TGF-ß1 plays a key role in remodeling processes by contributing to the proliferation, migration and phenotypic modulation of AFs and collagen composition. The mechanism may be related to both the Smad2 and Smad3 signaling pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
