1 To identify the necessary cell signaling proteins in E2-induced TGFbeta1 and TGFbeta2 transcription, human dermal fibroblasts were pre-treated with an inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) pathway, U0126. Estradiol transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: We found that expression of TGFbeta1, TGFbeta2, and Col22A1, a TGFbeta-responsive gene, is induced in response to E2 stimulation. Estradiol transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 Additionally, inhibiting E2-induced ERK/MAPK activation and early growth response 1 (EGR1) transcription prevents the E2-induced increase in TGFbeta1 and TGFbeta2 transcription and translation. Estradiol transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
4 Additionally, inhibiting E2-induced ERK/MAPK activation and early growth response 1 (EGR1) transcription prevents the E2-induced increase in TGFbeta1 and TGFbeta2 transcription and translation. Estradiol transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that E2-induced dermal fibrosis occurs in part through induction of TGFbeta1, 2, and Col22A1, which is regulated through EGR1 and the MAPK pathway. Estradiol transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
