Glomerular ultrafiltrate from diabetic rats, which contained bioactive transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), induced increased CTGF expression in tubular cells.

TGF-beta1 and, to a lesser extent, HGF also raised CTGF expression in cultured proximal tubular cells.

By these means, CTGF may act downstream of TGF-beta and HGF and may contribute to chronic tubulointerstitial fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy.

These findings implicate JNK pathway and TGF-beta1 as key players in LDL signaling leading to CTGF and collagen I expression in mesangial cells.

We showed that glucose stimulated CTGF expression in cultured mProx24 in both a dose- and a time-dependent manner, and that this effect was mediated by increased levels of TGF-beta.

In TK173 cells, BMP6 antagonised the TGF-beta-induced expression of the genes encoding plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and connective tissue growth factor (70 and 50% reduction, respectively).

CTGF is a secreted protein known to modulate several growth factor-signaling pathways including TGF-beta, BMP, and Wnt.

Because sphingosine kinase-1 (SK-1) activity is also upregulated by TGF-beta, we studied its effect on CTGF expression and on the development of renal fibrosis.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression is stimulated by all TGF-beta isoforms and is abundant in glomerulosclerosis and other fibrotic disorders.

During the capillary loop and maturing glomerular stages and simultaneous with the presence of TGF-beta(1), -beta(2), and -beta(3) protein, CTGF mRNA expression was maximal and present only in differentiating glomerular epithelial cells.
