1 | Hyaluronic acid, fibronectin receptor, and TGF-beta levels also increased in patients with acute steroid-resistant rejection; hyaluronic acid: 290 +/- 10.8 micrograms/l vs 154 +/- 13.6 micrograms/l and 131 +/- 11.7 micrograms/l in patients with steroid-sensitive and no rejection, respectively; fibronectin receptor: 1003 +/- 23.5 ng/ml vs 573 +/- 24.8 ng/ml and 428 +/- 13.6 ng/ ml in patients with steroid-sensitive and no rejection, respectively; and TGF-beta: 393 +/- 14.9 pg/ml versus 315 +/- 10.7 pg/ml and 233 +/- 8.9 pg/ml in patients with steroid-sensitive and no rejection, respectively. | Steroids | transforming growth factor beta 1 | Homo sapiens |
2 | The increase in laminin, hyaluronic acid, fibronectin receptor, and TGF-beta during acute steroid-resistant rejection may be stimulated by the rejection-related release of cytokines and adhesion molecules which paralleled the increase in ECM parameters. | Steroids | transforming growth factor beta 1 | Homo sapiens |
