1 29506624 CCN3, a key matricellular protein, distinctly inhibits TGFβ1-mediated Smad1/5/8 signalling in human podocyte culture.
2 29506624 CCN3 is a member of CCN family which also comprises CCN1 (CYR61), CCN2 (CTGF), CCN4 (WISP-1), CCN5 (WISP-2) and CCN6 (WISP-3).
3 29506624 CCN3 has been shown to antagonise CTGF.
4 29506624 Real time PCR was performed to look for gene expression of Fn and collagen IV and collagen I.
5 29506624 TGFβ1 induced the Smad1/5/8, Smad3 and p38 phosphorylation and CCN3 downregulated the TGFβ1 induced Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation and did not affect Smad3 and p38 phosphorylation.
6 29506624 CCN3 also induced collagen IV, Collagen I and Fn gene expression.
7 29506624 This is the first evidence of downregulation of TGFβ-mediated activation of a Smad1/5/8 signalling pathway by CCN3 in human podocytes and in any cell type.
