Product Description

The TGF-β Fibrosis Pathway Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of investigating activation of TGF-β/ SMAD2/3 signaling pathways in cells or tissues that lead to the expression of profibrotic genes, including expression of α-Smooth Muscle Actin in activated fibroblasts, and upregulation of Collagen1A1, Col11A1, and YKL-40. The kit includes enough antibodies to perform at least two western blot experiments with each primary antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

α-Smooth Muscle Actin (D4K9N) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total α-smooth muscle protein. COL1A1 (E8I9Z) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total COL1A1 protein. Smad2/3 (D7G7) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Smad2/3 protein. Smad2 (D43B4) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total Smad2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with Smad3. Phospho-Smad2 (Ser465/Ser467) (E8F3R) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of Smad2 protein when phosphorylated at Ser465 and Ser467. YKL-40 (E2L1M) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total YKL-40 protein. Phospho-Smad2 (Ser465/467)/Smad3 (Ser423/425) (D27F4) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of Smad2 protein when phosphorylated at Ser465 and Ser467. This antibody also recognizes endogenous levels of Smad3 protein when phosphorylated at Ser422 only or at both Ser423 and Ser425. TGF-β (56E4) Rabbit mAb detects recombinant TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 proteins. The antibody also detects endogenous levels of the TGF-β precursor proteins. TGF-β Receptor II (E5M6F) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total TGF-β Receptor II protein. This antibody does not cross-react with TGF-β Receptor I protein.

Background

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily members are critical regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation, developmental patterning and morphogenesis, and disease pathogenesis (1-4). In the context of fibrosis, TGF-β signaling to SMAD2/3 is one of the biggest drivers of the profibrotic program (5).

TGF-β elicits signaling through three cell surface receptors: type I (RI), type II (RII), and type III (RIII). In response to ligand binding, the type II receptors form stable heterotrimeric complexes with the type I receptors, allowing phosphorylation and activation of type I receptor kinase. Activated type I receptors associate with SMAD2/3 and phosphorylate them on a conserved carboxy terminal SSXS motif. The phosphorylated SMADs dissociate from the receptor and form a heterotrimeric complex with the co-Smad (Smad4), allowing translocation of the complex to the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, phosphorylated SMAD2/3 targets a subset of DNA binding proteins to regulate the transcriptional program (6-8).

In the context of fibrosis, SMAD2/3 activation upregulates expression of profibrotic genes such as COL1A1 and other ECM modulators that modify the extracellular matrix of the tissue. (9). TGF-β/ SMAD2/3 signaling also induces expression of α-Smooth Muscle Actin in fibroblasts, causing transformation of these cells to myofibroblasts (10). Myofibroblasts further modify the ECM, causing excessive accumulation of collagens and other ECM components. Injury to the tissue attracts macrophages and other immune cells and the fibrotic tissue soon becomes a site of inflammation (11). In this pro-fibrotic, pro-inflammatory environment, YKL-40, also known as Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1), is secreted. YKL-40 is a pro-inflammatory glycoprotein that also contributes to the progression of fibrosis (12). Measurement of collagen content, α-Smooth Muscle Actin, and the release of YKL-40 are predictive of fibrotic activity.
