(Diabetes Mellitus, Experimental...) :
Confocal microscopy and real-time PCR showed that transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 induced de novo expression of alpha-SMA and loss of expression of VE-cadherin and CD31 in MMECs and primary cultures of renal endothelial cells in a time- and dose dependent fashion

:
Analysis of the intracellular signaling pathways indicates that TGF-beta 1 induces protein kinase C activity, as well as PECAM-1 phosphorylation and association with cytoskeletal components
