"Our data show that during PCMO generation pluripotency marker expression is controlled positively by activin and Smad2 and negatively by TGF-beta and Smad3 signaling, while relief from growth inhibition is primarily the result of reduced TGF-beta and Smad3, and to a lesser extent, activin and Smad2 signaling."

"In this study, we investigated that although Smad2 and Smad3 are structurally similar with 89% amino acid sequence similarity in bovine, Smad3 significantly decreased Smad2 mRNA and protein expression during bovine myoblast differentiation, which is not by binding on its promoter."
reach
"The reduction in occupancy was accompanied by a significant decrease in Smad2 mRNA expression in RA treated cells in both growth medium and under differentiation conditions, indicating that Smad2 is a C/EBPbeta target gene in this system, and raising the possibility that RA upregulated Smad3 could prevent Smad2 upregulation and thereby promote myogenesis."
