摘要
TGF-beta plays a central and critical role in tissue repair. The recent identification of TGF-beta signal transduction pathways involving Smad proteins has now made it possible to explore their contribution to the activities of TGF-beta in vivo. Both Smad3 and its closely related homolog Smad2 act as latent nuclear transcriptional activators and mediate intracellular signaling by TGF-beta s and activin, each of which regulates cellular functions pivotal to cutaneous wound healing. Mice null for Smad3 (Smad3(ex8/ex8)) survive into adulthood and show accelerated cutaneous wound healing characterized by an increased rate of re-epithalialization and a reduced local inflammatory infiltrate. These data implicate Smad3 in specific pathways of tissue repair and suggest that it could be a target for the development of therapeutic strategies to modulate wound healing.
