Our observation that TGF-beta 1 is hyperexpressed in black ESRD patients suggests a mechanism for the increased prevalence of renal failure (since TGF-beta 1 hyperexpression can result in renal insufficiency in experimental models) among the black population.
Only animals from the 1WIK group developed severe chronic renal failure, glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, and upregulation of transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) gene, which was associated with increased TGF-beta(1) protein expression in tubular epithelial cells, arterioles, and in areas of mononuclear interstitial cell infiltrate.
This study aimed to evaluate the association of TGF-beta1 polymorphisms with chronic renal disease (CRD), and its progression to dialysis in a retrospective longitudinal study of an end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cohort.

Carriage of the TGF-beta 1 (codon 10) TT and IL-10 (-1082) GG genotypes may increase susceptibility to ESRD in German patients with type 2 diabetes or glomerulonephritis.
Phosphorylated NF-κB p65 was expressed and colocalized with p53, p21, β-galactosidase, TGF-β1, and α-SMA in the kidneys of chronic renal failure (CRF) rats.
Our results conclude that TGF-β1 (rs1800470) may increase the risk of both ESRD and T2D in both populations, but TGF-β1 (rs1800469) provided risk for only ESRD in the population of Jammu and Kashmir.
This study is the first prospective study to demonstrate that circulating TGF-β1-regulated miRNAs are deregulated early in T1D patients who are at risk for rapid progression to ESRD.
These results suggested that osthole protects against inflammation in a rat model of CRF via suppression of NF‑κB and TGF‑β1, and activation of PI3K/Akt/nuclear factor (erythroid‑derived 2)‑like 2 signaling.
Decreased expression of transforming growth factor-β1 and α-smooth muscle actin contributes to the protection of lotensin against chronic renal failure in rats.
