Activation of TGF-beta pathway by areca nut constituents: A possible cause of Oral submucous fibrosis.

ABSTRACT: To understand the role of areca nut constituents in manifestation of Oral submucous fibrosis, we studied gene expression profile in epithelial cells following areca nut water extract treatment. A comaprison with TGF-beta induced gene expression changes were performed as epithelial cells were predicted to be source of TGF-beta.
