Regulatory relationships of Eng

  • Whereas Eng+/+ cells were only partially growth inhibited by TGFbeta, Eng-/- cells displayed a potent anti-proliferative response [1].
  • Endoglin null endothelial cells proliferate faster and are more responsive to transforming growth factor beta1 with higher affinity receptors and an activated Alk1 pathway [1].
  • Between 7.5 and 8.5 dpc, endoglin was expressed in endothelial cells of the yolk sac, dorsal aorta and primitive heart tube, and from 9.5 to 13.5 dpc in endothelial cells throughout the developing vasculature [17].
  • The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of endoglin expressed on uterine stromal cells in binding TGF-beta and in the cellular responses induced by this growth factor [18].
 

Other interactions of Eng

  • However, the function of endoglin in TGF-beta/ALK signalling has remained unclear [13].
  • Endoglin is an accessory receptor for transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) in endothelial cells, essential for vascular development [1].
  • Tumor weight, capillary density, hemoglobin and VCAM-1 were reduced by about 30% in Eng+/- compared to Eng+/+ littermates [19].
  • Its pivotal role in angiogenesis is underscored in Endoglin null (Eng-/-) murine embryos, which die at mid-gestation (E10.5) from impaired yolk sac vessel formation [1].
  • Pronounced interstitial fibrosis induced by ureteral obstruction was confirmed histologically by Masson's trichromic staining and by increased immunostaining for fibronectin and laminin without significant differences between Eng(+/-) and Eng(+/+) mice [20].
