The mechanism for the activation of latent TGF-beta during co-culture of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells: cell-type specific targeting of latent TGF-beta to smooth muscle cells

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is secreted in a latent form and activated during co-culture of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Plasmin located on the surface of endothelial cells is required for the activation of latent TGF-beta (LTGF-beta) during co-culture, and the targeting...
