Cow (Bovine) Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) interaction partners

1. Results confirm the prodevelopmental actions of activin A (show INHBA Proteins) and indicate that CTGF may also function as an embryokine by regulating the number of ICM cells in the blastocyst and altering gene expression. Low concentrations of HGF (show HGF Proteins) were inhibitory to development.

2. The results indicate that CTGF suppresses the synthesis of biglycan (show BGN Proteins) but newly induced that of decorin (show DCN Proteins) in the cells when the cell density is low.

3. Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of CTGF transcription and mRNA stability

Zebrafish Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) interaction partners

1. During vascular regression, Yap/Taz is activated by blood circulation in the endothelial cells. This leads to induction of Ctgf and actin polymerization. Interference with Yap/Taz activation decreased Ctgf production, which decreased actin polymerization and vascular regression.

2. this study reveals that CTGF is necessary and sufficient to stimulate glial bridging and natural spinal cord regeneration.

3. CTGF/CCN2 plays an important role in notochord development and is required for general embryonic development
