TGF-β3 (transforming growth factor-β3) is a member of a TGF­-beta superfamily subgroup that performs many cellular functions. TGF-β3 has a role in embryogenesis and cell differentiation. TGF-β3 also plays a critical role in palatogenesis, the wound healing process. TGF-β3 is capable of binding directly to the type II receptor (TβRII). TGF beta 3/TGFB3 Protein, Human (HEK293) is produced in HEK293 cells, and consists of 112 amino acids (A301-S412).

Description

TGF-β3 (transforming growth factor-β3) is a member of a TGF­-beta superfamily subgroup that performs many cellular functions. TGF-β3 has a role in embryogenesis and cell differentiation. TGF-β3 also plays a critical role in palatogenesis, the wound healing process. TGF-β3 is capable of binding directly to the type II receptor (TβRII)[1][2]. TGF beta 3/TGFB3 Protein, Human (HEK293) is produced in HEK293 cells, and consists of 112 amino acids (A301-S412).

Background

Three TGF-β isoforms have been found in mammals: TGF-β1, 2, and 3, which are structurally and functionally similar. TGF-β3 is important in embryonic development, scarless repair of injury in the embryo, adult wound healing and tissue homeostasis. It has an important role in regulating cell migration, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, modulation of immune function, extracellular matrix (ECM) production and the regulation of ECM remodelling; biological processes that are often required for tumour growth and maintenance[1][2].
As with all members of the family, TGF-β3 is highly conserved across species, with mouse, rat and human TGF-β3 demonstrating >97% sequence homology.
TGF-β3 is released from LAP by integrins: integrin-binding results in distortion of the LAP chain and subsequent release of the active TGF-β3. TGF-β3 is capable of binding directly to the type II receptor (TβRII). TGF-β3 expression increases in fetal wound healing and reduces fibronectin and collagen I and III deposition, and also improves the architecture of the neodermis. Fibroblasts are key cells in the wound healing process. In addition, TGF-β3 may actually play a protective role against tumourigenesis in a range of tissues including the skin, breast, oral and gastric mucosa. TGF-β3 is a more potent inhibitor of DNA synthesis in human keratinocytes compared to TGF-β1 and TGF-β2. TGF-β3 mRNA is expressed in lymphocytes such as CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, γδT cells, and B cells. TGF-β3 has the potential to regulate systemic autoimmune diseases by inhibiting B cells. Moreover, during palatogenesis, TGF-β3 is supposed to transduce signals via both canonical Smad-dependent and non-canonical Smad-independent signaling. In human B cells, TGF-β3 induces phosphorylation of Smad1/5 along with Smad2 and Smad3[1][2][3].
TGF-β3 is involved in cell differentiation, embryogenesis and development. TGF-β3 is crucial in tissue regeneration and scarless tissue repair. TGF-β3 is also involved in palatogenesis, chondrogenesis, and pulmonary development. Furthermore, TGF-β3 plays a role in cancer and immune diseases[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Recombinant TGF-β3 (0.01-10 ng/mL) induces fibronectin expression in leiomyoma cells and directly stimulates leiomyoma cell proliferation[4].
Recombinant TGF-β3 (0.5 ng/mL) promotes mRNA expression, and increased protein levels of osteocalcin (OCN) and type I collagen (COL I) in mouse pulpal mesenchymal cells. TGF-β3 also induces the expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin matrix protein 1[5].
Recombinant TGF-β3 (0.005-3 ng/mL) adds to rat Sertoli cells cultured in vitro on Matrigel-coated bicameral units perturbed the inter-Sertoli tight junction (TJ) permeability barrier dose-dependently. Moreover, the presence of TGF-β3 also inhibits the transient and/or basal expression of several TJ-associated proteins, which include occludin, zonula occludens-1, and claudin-11 when inter-Sertoli TJs are being assembled in vitro[8].

In Vivo

Recombinant TGF-β3 (1 μg/kg; i.p; once every week) decelerates the progress of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis and hindered the recruitment of fibrocytes to lung in radiation-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis[6].
Recombinant TGF-β3 (local infiltration (0.5 μg, 1.0 μg, 2.5 μg, and 50 μg) or intravenous application (500 μg/kg); for 7 days) treatment accelerates gastric ulcer healing in rats[7].
