“…Moreover, it has been shown in both cell types that BMP-7 directly interferes with profibrogenic TGF-␤1 signaling (57,64). Because endoglin is also expressed by mesangial and hepatic stellate cells (43,65), it is tempting to speculate that endoglin is a critical modifier of fibrogenic responses. The cells were then stimulated with indicated concentrations of TGF-␤1, and the luciferase activities were measured.…”

“…Animal models of experimental liver fibrosis, such as carbon tetrachloride-induced fibrosis [46], bile duct ligation [31] or schistosomiasis infection [11] have reported increased concentrations of TGF-1 very early in the course of fibrogenesis in these animal models. TGF-1-induced endoglin expression has been shown in cultured human monocytes and in the U-937 monocyte line [47], and in cultured mesangial cells [24]. Whereas mesangial cell is major profibrogenic cell in the kidney, hepatic stellate cells is the most profibrogenic cell type in the liver, and endoglin has been reported to be present in hepatic stellate cells, which are a target for TGF-1 [48].…”

“…Endoglin, also known as CD105, is a 180-kD homodimeric membrane glycoprotein expressed by human endothelial cells [20,21], macrophages [22], vascular smooth muscle cells [23], mesangial cells [24] and fibroblasts [21]. Endoglin binds TGF-1 and TGF-3 with high affinity in human endothelial cells [25], in association with the type II receptor [26].…”

“…Entre las células residentes en el riñón, las CMG constituyen dianas bien definidas para el TGF-β y podrían desempeñar un papel central en la aparición de la fibrosis glomerular. En apoyo de esta idea, se vio que la endoglina se expresa en las CMG y que esta expresión estaba inducida al alza por el TGF-β1 (51,52). Además, se ha observado que la expresión de endoglina reduce la acumulación de colágeno tanto basal como estimulado por el TGF-β1 en las CMG humanas y en los mioblastos de rata transfectados con endoglina (52)(53)(54), lo que indica que la endoglina podría tener una función importante en la patogenia de la fibrosis renal.…”
