Crosstalk between Shh and TGF-β signaling in cyclosporine-enhanced cell proliferation in human gingival fibroblasts.

BACKGROUND: Immunosuppressant cyclosporine-A induces gingival hyperplasia, which is characterized by increased fibroblast proliferation and overproduction of extracellular matrix components and regulated by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β). The TGF-β and Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathways both med...
