The role of TGF-β1 in the generation of T h 17 cells goes against its dominant conceptualization as an anti-inflammatory cytokine; however, the shared requirement between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune cells suggests that an imbalance between these two cell types can be an important link to autoimmunity.

The TGF beta signaling pathway is involved in a wide range of cellular process and subsequently is very heavily regulated. There are a variety of mechanisms where the pathway is modulated either positively or negatively, including the agonists for ligands and R-SMADs, the decoy receptors, and the ubiquitination of R-SMADs and receptors.
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a potent cell regulatory polypeptide homodimer of 25kD. [1] It is a multifunctional signaling molecule with more than 40 related family members. TGF-β plays a role in a wide array of cellular processes including early embryonic development, cell growth, differentiation, motility, and apoptosis. [2]
An inflammatory cytokine or proinflammatory cytokine is a type of signaling molecule (a cytokine) ... Also, transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) ...
68 Ga-Trivehexin targets (i.e., binds to) the cell surface receptor αvβ6-integrin, a heterodimeric transmembrane cell adhesion receptor whose primary natural ligand is latency associated peptide (LAP) in its complex with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1).
They have also been implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. The loss of T h 17 cell populations at mucosal surfaces has been linked to chronic inflammation and microbial translocation. These regulatory T h 17 cells can be generated by TGF-beta plus IL-6 in vitro.
Secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β by T h 3 cells helps to maintain homeostasis in the gut and suppress exaggerated inflammatory and autoimmune responses in the body. TGF-β is a crucial cytokine for maintaining the naturally occurring T reg cells, that suppress T h 1 and T h 2 immune functions. [3]
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) [6] is a multifunctional peptide that controls proliferation, differentiation and other functions in many cell types. TGF-beta-1 is a peptide of 112 amino acid residues derived by proteolytic cleavage from the C-terminal of a precursor protein.
