Lovastatin 0-10 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 160-169 18287089-6 2008 Lovastatin and a geranylgeranyltransferase inhibitor reduce the TGFbeta1-stimulated levels of CCN2/CTGF protein by approximately 75 and 100%, respectively. Lovastatin 0-10 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 64-72 23485731-6 2013 We demonstrate that the intensity of FMT induced by TGF-beta1 was strongly and dose-dependently attenuated by lovastatin. Lovastatin 110-120 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 52-61 23485731-9 2013 Additionally we demonstrate that in bronchial fibroblast populations, both inhibitors (lovastatin and zaragozic acid A) attenuate the TGF-beta1-induced Smad2 nuclear translocation in a manner dependent on intracellular cholesterol level. Lovastatin 87-97 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 134-143 31079432-11 2019 Results: Simultaneous or sequential treatment of TGF-beta1 and lovastatin could further augment the BMP-2 overexpression compared with lovastatin-alone treatment. Lovastatin 135-145 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 49-58 31079432-14 2019 Cells in groups treated with lovastatin were less populated than that in the group treated with TGF-beta1 alone. Lovastatin 29-39 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 96-105 26517522-5 2016 While Lovastatin"s inhibitory effects on TGFbeta1, COX2, and ICAM-1 expression were independently controlled by the tumor suppressor LKB1, integrin beta3 expression was not affected. Lovastatin 6-16 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 41-49 22129737-3 2011 In the present study, probucol and lovastatin, which are therapeutics used for hyperlipidemia and proposed to act as anti-oxidants, were examined in terms of their effect on TGFbeta1-induced formation of ROS and expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA), a myofibroblast marker, in human fetal lung fibroblasts (HFL1 cells). Lovastatin 35-45 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 174-182 22129737-5 2011 Treatment with probucol (30 microM) and lovastatin (1 microM and 3 microM), in addition to lecithinized-SOD, significantly inhibited the TGFbeta1-induced formation of ROS and alphaSMA. Lovastatin 40-50 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 137-145 18421080-0 2008 Lovastatin inhibits TGF-beta-induced myofibroblast transdifferentiation in human tenon fibroblasts. Lovastatin 0-10 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 20-28 18421080-3 2008 HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors (statins) have been shown to inhibit Rho-GTPase signaling; therefore, the authors studied the influence of lovastatin on TGF-beta-mediated myofibroblast transdifferentiation to assess the potential use of statins in wound healing modulation. Lovastatin 136-146 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 150-158 18421080-9 2008 RESULTS: Lovastatin inhibited TGF-beta-induced CTGF transcription, alpha-SMA expression and incorporation into actin stress fibers, and subsequent collagen gel contraction. Lovastatin 9-19 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 30-38 18421080-12 2008 Lovastatin decreased TGF-beta-induced p38 activation, whereas Smad-2/3 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation were preserved. Lovastatin 0-10 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 21-29 18421080-13 2008 CONCLUSIONS: Lovastatin inhibits TGF-beta-induced myofibroblast transdifferentiation in human Tenon fibroblasts, most likely by interfering with Rho-signaling. Lovastatin 13-23 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 33-41 18061125-8 2008 These results indicate that lovastatin prevents the Ox-LDL-induced Ras/ERK activation that results in inhibition of Smad3 activation in mesangial cells with subsequent downregulation of TGF-beta target genes. Lovastatin 28-38 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 186-194 18061125-5 2008 Quiescent mesangial cells were incubated for 18 h with and without the presence of lovastatin before 50 microg/mL of Ox-LDL treatment for 1 h. Lovastatin inhibited markedly the stimulatory effects of Ox-LDL on ERK1/2 activation, nuclear Smad3 expression, TGF-beta1 and PAI-1 mRNA and protein expression, and PAI-1 luciferase activity.
