How can you use “factor-β” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Different functional subsets of genes were identified that included those for several chemokines (GRO-1, MIG, MCP-1, MCP-3, MIP1-α, MIP-β, PARC, IL-8), cytokine receptors (C-CR-1, IL-R, IL-1R antagonist, IL-2Rβ, transforming growth factor-β receptor (TGFβR), IFNγR α chain), adhesion molecules associated with mononuclear cell migration (CD62L, VCAM-1, CD64, CD29), cytotoxic proteins in granules produced by activated monocytes (grancalcin and calgranulin) and several genes associated with IFN-γ activity, such as HLA class II molecules and IFN-regulatory or responsive genes such as those for MxA, MxB and IRF-1.
Various growth factors such as angiopoietin (ang)-1, platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor-β as well as VEGF-A are also involved in arteriogenesis, and it may therefore be necessary to use combinations of these factors to obtain stable and mature vessels (Fig.
The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family including ligands, receptors, and binding proteins, has emerged as a central player in ovary physiology and female fertility [ 1 ] . The BMPs represent a large subclass of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) surperfamily of ligands whose biological responses are mediated by Ser/Thr kinase receptors via the Smad-signaling molecules [ 2 ] . The mRNAs encoding several BMP family members have been identified in the murine ovary, including the ligands, BMP-2 [ 3 ] , BMP-3 [ 3 ] , BMP-3b [ 3 ] , BMP-4 [ 4 ] , BMP-6 [ 5 ] , BMP-7 [ 4 ] , BMP-15 [ 6 7 8 ] , the BMP receptors, BMPR-IA, BMPR-IB and BMPR-II [ 4 ] and the BMP binding protein, follistatin (FS) [ 9 ] . In the murine, BMP-4 and -7 mRNA have been identified in the theca interstitial cells [ 4 ] , BMP-6 and -15 in oocytes [ 5 6 7 8 ] , BMPR-IA, BMPR-IB and BMPR-II in oocytes and granulosa cells (GCs) [ 4 ] , and FS in granulosa and lutein cells [ 9 10 ] .
The Vg1 RNA encodes a member of the transforming growth factor-β family that is required for generating dorsal mesoderm at the blastula stage of Xenopus embryogenesis [ 25 ] . Sequence conservation between the RBDs of DAZAP1 and Prrp suggests that these proteins may bind to similar RNA sequences.
For example, PPARγ agonists were shown to protect cytokine-induced PCD in cerebellar granule cells [ 59 ] . These agents could also block the neurotoxic effects caused by β-amyloid activated microglia, and thus might be beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease [ 60 ] . In non-neuronal tissues, PPARα activation was shown to suppress both spontaneous rat hepatocyte PCD and the PCD induced by transforming growth factor-β1 [ 61 ] .
