Novel roles of Akt and mTOR in suppressing TGF-beta/ALK5 mediated Smad3 activation
Chen et al., Zhonghua Xin Xue Guan Bing Za Zhi 2008
(Coxsackievirus Infections) :
We investigated the role of mTOR signal transduction on viral myocarditis by observing the effect of mTOR inhibitor rapamycin on Smad 3 and collagen type I expression in rat myocardial fibroblasts infected with coxsackievirus B 3 ( CVB 3 )
Winbanks et al., J Cell Biol 2012
(Hypertrophy) :
Expression of constitutively active Smad3 not only markedly prevented skeletal muscle growth induced by follistatin but also potently suppressed follistatin induced Akt/mTOR/S6K signaling
