1 In mesangial cells, high glucose potentiated the effect of low-dose TGF-beta1 (0.2ng/ml) on the following TGF-beta-responsive constructs: 3TP-Lux (containing AP-1 sites and PAI-1 promoter), SBE4-Luc (containing four tandem repeats of SBE sequence), and the fibronectin promoter. Glucose fibronectin 1 Mus musculus
2 Additionally, Smad3 overexpression increased fibronectin promoter activity, an effect that was enhanced by high ambient glucose or treatment with TGF-beta1 (2ng/ml). Glucose fibronectin 1 Mus musculus
