"These results indicate that the early upregulation of syndecan-4 mRNA expression by TGF-beta 1 is mediated by Smad3, whereas Smad2 or Smad3 alone is not involved in the late downregulation of syndecan-4 mRNA expression by TGF-beta 1; the late downregulation of syndecan-4 core protein expression by TGF-beta 1 is mediated by Smad3."

"The functional damage of vascular endothelial cells caused by the disturbed flow induces chronic TGF-beta 1 accumulation in the vascular wall, and the accumulated TGF-beta 1 suppresses the expression of syndecan-4 by activation of Smad2/3, which contributes to the progression of atherosclerosis [Tull et al., 2006; Nesbitt et al., 2009; Popovic et al., 2009]."
