Upregulation of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta)/Smad signaling has been implicated in the primary pathogenesis of renal fibrosis. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has an important influence on TGF-beta signaling through regulating Smad degradation. As E3 ubiquitin ligases, both Arkadia and Smurf2 are involved in this prosess. In this study, we focused on Arkadia, Smurf2, Smad7, and TGF-beta type I receptor (TbetaRI), principal molecules in the regulation of TGF-beta signaling, to understand the regulatory mechanism of ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of TGF-beta signaling in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis.
