Methods In vitro cultured dermal fibroblasts were treated with rhTGF-β1 (5ng/ml) or recombinant adenovirus containing α truncated type Ⅱ TGF-β receptor gene (50 pfu/cell). Their effects on regulating gene expression of TGF-β1 were observed with Northern Blot. Results rh TGF-β1 up-regulated the gene expression of TGF-β1, (34 %-150%) and type Ⅰ pro-collagen( 13 %- 190%). Overexpression of a truncated receptor Ⅱ decreased the gene expression of TGF-β1 (53%-66%). Conclusion Over-expression of the truncated TGF-β receptor Ⅱdown-regulated TGF-β1 autoproduction via blocking signal transduction of TGF-β. This study may provide a new strategy for scar gene therapy.展开更多
