From: Exposure to oxLDL impairs TGF-β activity in human tendon cells
oxLDL changes the expression of collagen and lox via TGF-β. oxLDL decreases TGF-β expression at the level of mRNA (a) and protein (b). Adding recombinant TGF-β to human tendon cells treated with oxLDL rescued the expression of collagen and LOX mRNA (c) but not MMPs (d).
