Disease relevance of Thbs2

 

High impact information on Thbs2

  • Similarly, interference with the Smad2/3/4 pathway using dexamethasone also heavily decreased expression of collagen type I and TSP-2 whereas transdifferentiation of HSC to the typical morphology of MFB with loss of fat droplets and increasing alpha-SMA was unchanged [3].
  • Decreased expressions of thrombospondin 2 in cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth [2].
  • Western blot analyses showed that the expression of TSP2 protein was dose-dependently reduced by the CsA treatments in human cultured gingival fibroblasts [2].
  • 24 genes of known function (thrombospondin-2, vimentin, etc.), 13 genes of known sequence but unknown function including 7 of ESTs (SNERG1, rat GPCR, etc.), and 2 novel genes [4].
