Abstract
Background: PSG1 is secreted by placental cells and regulates TGF-β1. Results: The B2 domain of PSG1 activates latent TGF-β1, whereas macrophage induction of latent TGF-β1 relies on the LYHY amino acid sequence within the N-terminal domain. Conclusion: PSG1 exerts bifunctional activity through two distinct domains, resulting in an increase in active TGF-β1. Significance: These data describe a mechanism by which PSG1 modulates TGF-β1 during pregnancy.
