"While TGFbeta1 and TGFbeta2 increased binding of Smad4 protein with the TBE1 site of c-Myc promoter, the effect of TGFbeta3 was significantly greater (XREF_FIG), as shown by higher levels of immunoprecipiated DNA, indicating that activated Smad4, in response to TGFbeta, binds to the TBE1 site (XREF_FIG)."
reach
"Fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the transfection efficiency and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot analysis were used to observe gene and protein expression levels of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Smad4, respectively, in HSCs treated with TGF-beta1 or TGF-beta1 and miRNA-122."
reach
"TGF-beta1 being a strong activator of ECM accumulation stimulates the Col 1A2 gene expression by inducing the binding of a Sp1- and p, Smad2/3, Smad4, and containing complex to Col 1A2 upstream promoter element (-330 bp to -286 bp and -271 bp to -255 bp; TGF-beta1 responsive element; TbRE) which contains a CAGA box."
reach
"These data, combined with the observation that mutation of TBE1 and 2 decreased luciferase expression by the greatest amount (XREF_FIG), suggest that TBE1 and 2 are the most important regions in the c-Myc promoter for Smad4 mediated transactivation induced by TGFbeta1 signaling in UMSCC38 cells, but not in UMSCC11B cells."
reach
"The results of luciferase reporter experiments and ChIP assays demonstrated that TGFbeta1 promoted the binding of Smad4 to the miR-155 promoter at a site located in 454 bp from the transcription start site in vivo, further verifying that miR-155 is a transcriptional target of the TGFbeta1 and Smad4 pathway."
