Transforming growth factor (TGF beta) is a multifunctional cytokine with proinflammatory as well as immunosuppressive activities. A regulatory role for TGF beta has been suggested in investigations of several experimental and spontaneous models of pathological autoreactivity. It is suggested that many of the functional effects of TGF beta parallel the major immune system abnormalities seen in SLE.
转化生长因子(TGF-β)是一种具有促炎和免疫抑制活性的多功能细胞因子。在对几种病理性自身反应性的实验和自发模型的研究中,已表明TGF-β具有调节作用。有人提出,TGF-β的许多功能效应与系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)中所见的主要免疫系统异常情况相似。
