title: [Functional interactions between the TGF-beta signaling pathway via the Smads and TNF-alpha: implications for the regulation of type I collagen expression].
abstract: The balance between production and degradation of type I collagen plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of organ and tissue integrity. Its also represents the most crucial element governing the process of tissue repair. TGF-beta, a key player in the physiopathology of tissue repair, enhances type I collagene gene expression. In contrast, TNF-alpha, whose matrix-remodelling function is opposite to that of TGF-beta, reduces type I collagen gene expression. This review focuses on transcriptional regulation of type I collagen by TGF-beta and TNF-alpha, and on the molecular mechanisms that control the antagonistic activity of TNF-alpha against TGF-beta-driven type I collagen gene expression.
