TGF‑ beta 2 Inhibition of IL‑4-dependent Cell Proliferation and Neutralization by TGF‑ beta 2 Antibody. Porcine TGF-beta 2 (Catalog # 102-B2) inhibits Recombinant Mouse IL-4 (Catalog # 404-ML) induced proliferation in the HT-2 mouse T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Inhibition of Recombinant Mouse IL-4 (7.5 ng/mL) activity elicited by Porcine TGF-beta 2 (1 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rabbit Anti-TGF-beta 2 Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AB-12-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.25-1.25 µg/mL.

Detection of Human TGF-beta 2 Antibody by Western Blot MiR-30b induces expression of TGF beta 2.(A) HUVECs were transfected with either control mimic (con) or miR-30b mimic (30b) and levels of TGF beta 1 and TGF beta 2 mRNA were assessed by qRT-PCR. Expression levels relative to control mimic transfected cells and normalized to beta -actin expression are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 2). Overexpression of miR-30b significantly increases TGF beta 2 expression. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 as determined by unpaired Student’s t-test. (B) Cells were transfected with 20 nM of either control mimic (control) or miR-30b mimic (miR-30b) and protein lysates were collected after 48 hours for assessment of TGF beta 2 protein levels by western blot. beta -actin was used as endogenous control. (C) ELISAs for TGF beta 1 and TGF beta 2 were performed with 24 hour conditioned supernates from HUVECs transfected with 20 nM of either control or miR-30b mimic. Data represents the mean ± SEM (n = 2). Overexpression of miR-30b significantly increases TGF beta 2 secretion into cell culture supernate. * P = 0.044 as determined by unpaired Student’s t-test. (D) HUVECs were transfected with 20 nM of either control mimic (control) or miR-30b mimic (miR-30b) and protein lysates were collected after 48 hours for assessment of Smad2 phosphorylation by western blot.

Background: TGF-beta 2
TGF-beta 2 (transforming growth factor beta 2) is one of three closely related mammalian members of the large TGF-beta superfamily that share a characteristic cysteine knot structure (1-7). TGF-beta 1, -2 and -3 are highly pleiotropic cytokines proposed to act as cellular switches that regulate processes such as immune function, proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (1-4). Each TGF-beta isoform has some non-redundant functions; for TGF-beta 2, mice with targeted deletion show defects in development of cardiac, lung, craniofacial, limb, eye, ear and urogenital systems (2). Human TGF-beta 2 cDNA encodes a 414 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 19 aa signal peptide and a 395 aa proprotein (8). A furin-like convertase processes the proprotein to generate an N-terminal 232 aa latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a C-terminal 112 aa mature TGF- beta 2 (8, 9). Disulfide-linked homodimers of LAP and TGF-beta 2 remain non-covalently associated after secretion, forming the small latent TGF-beta 1 complex (8-10). Covalent linkage of LAP to one of three latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBPs) creates a large latent complex that may interact with the extracellular matrix (9, 10). TGF-beta is activated from latency by pathways that include actions of the protease plasmin, matrix metalloproteases, thrombospondin 1 and a subset of integrins (10). Mature human TGF-beta 2 shows 100% aa identity with porcine, canine, equine and bovine TGF-beta 2, and 97% aa identity with mouse and rat TGF-beta 2. It demonstrates cross-species activity (1). TGF-beta 2 signaling begins with binding to a complex of the accessory receptor betaglycan (also known as TGF-beta RIII) and a type II ser/thr kinase receptor termed TGF-beta RII. This receptor then phosphorylates and activates another ser/thr kinase receptor, TGF-beta RI (also called activin receptor-like kinase (ALK) -5), or alternatively, ALK-1. The whole complex phosphorylates and activates Smad proteins that regulate transcription (3, 11, 12). Use of other signaling pathways that are Smad-independent allows for disparate actions observed in response to TGF-beta in different contexts (11).
