| Description | Thymosin β4 (Tβ4) is a thymic hormone with multiple and different intracellular and extracellular activities affecting wound healing, inflammation, fibrosis and tissue regeneration. |
| In vitro | Thymosin β4能够促进心肌细胞和内皮细胞的迁移,并增强心肌细胞的存活率。LIM结构域蛋白PINCH18和ILK19均为细胞迁移和存活所必需,它们与thymosin β4形成复合体,进而导致存活激酶Akt的磷酸化。 |
| In vivo | 在成年小鼠心脏结扎术后用Thymosin β4处理,结果显示心脏中Akt的磷酸化水平上升,早期心肌细胞存活率提高,心脏功能得到改善。 |
