Activin A overexpression promotes rat follicular development through SCF-kit-mediated cell signals.
Title: Activin A overexpression promotes rat follicular development through SCF-kit-mediated cell signals.
Plasma activin A doubled in unilateral ureter obstruction rats after 10 days while no changes were seen in unilateral nephrectomized rats, suggesting secretion of activin A from the obstructed kidney with potentially systemic effects on CKD-MBD.
Title: Klotho and activin A in kidney injury: plasma Klotho is maintained in unilateral obstruction despite no upregulation of Klotho biosynthesis in the contralateral kidney.
These data suggest that ghrelin inhibits myocardial fibrosis, attenuates left ventricular remodeling, and eventually improves cardiac function by adjusting Act A/FS imbalance.
Title: Ghrelin suppresses cardiac fibrosis of post-myocardial infarction heart failure rats by adjusting the activin A-follistatin imbalance.
The activation of JNK and p38 MAPK pathways in OGD-treated PC12 cells was suppressed by exogenous Act A and enhanced by ActRIIA-Ab. Together, our results suggest that Act A/Smads signaling pathway negatively regulates OGD-induced autophagy via suppression of JNK and p38 MAPK pathways in neuronal PC12 cells.
Title: CHOP deficiency inhibits methylglyoxal-induced endothelial dysfunction.
Activin A/Smad 2/3 and activin A/ERK1/2 signaling pathway may be involved in isoflurane induced postconditioning induced neuroprotection.

These data suggest that activin A produced by interstitial fibroblasts acts as a potent profibrotic factor during renal fibrosis. Blockade of activin A action may be a novel approach for the prevention of renal fibrosis progression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
