1 LPA-induced secretion of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 in hADSCs, and pretreatment of the cells with SB431542, a TGF-beta type I receptor kinase inhibitor, or anti-TGF-beta1 neutralizing antibody inhibited the LPA-induced expression of alpha-SMA and phosphorylation of Smad2. lysophosphatidic acid transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 These results suggest that cancer-derived LPA stimulates differentiation of hADSCs to myofibroblast-like cells and increases SDF-1 expression through activating autocrine TGF-beta1-Smad signaling pathway. lysophosphatidic acid transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
