Gene Description

TGFB1 encodes transforming growth factor beta-1, a secreted multifunctional cytokine of the TGF-beta superfamily. It is made as a proprotein cleaved in the Golgi into the latency-associated peptide (LAP) and the mature TGF-beta-1 chain, which stay associated as a latent complex stored in the extracellular matrix and tethered at the cell surface by LTBP, GARP (LRRC32) and NRROS (LRRC33); integrin-mediated force releases the active cytokine. Active TGF-beta-1 binds type I, II and III TGF-beta receptors to activate receptor serine/threonine kinase and SMAD signaling, controlling cell growth and differentiation, extracellular-matrix production and fibrosis, immune tolerance (regulatory T cells, IgA class switching), epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, wound healing and many developmental processes.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0001501 skeletal system development
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: skeletal system development.
Reason: skeletal system development is an electronic (IEA) annotation under GO_REF:0000117. TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.
GO:0001558 regulation of cell growth
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: regulation of cell growth.
Reason: regulation of cell growth is an electronic (IEA) annotation under GO_REF:0000117. TGF-beta-1 modulates this cellular behaviour via receptor binding and SMAD-dependent gene regulation in target cells; a real but context-dependent downstream effect of the secreted cytokine, not a core molecular function. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.
GO:0001570 vasculogenesis
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: vasculogenesis.
Reason: vasculogenesis is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.
GO:0001570 vasculogenesis

Summary: vasculogenesis.
Reason: vasculogenesis is a sequence-similarity transfer from an experimentally-characterized ortholog (ISS, GO_REF:0000024). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine. No primary publication is attached to this annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.
GO:0001657 ureteric bud development

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: ureteric bud development.
Reason: ureteric bud development is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.
GO:0001666 response to hypoxia
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: response to hypoxia.
Reason: response to hypoxia is an electronic (IEA) annotation under GO_REF:0000120. this term records that TGF-beta-1 expression or activity is modulated in the context of hypoxia; it is a context-specific regulatory relationship of the secreted cytokine, not a core molecular function. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.
GO:0001763 morphogenesis of a branching structure
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: morphogenesis of a branching structure.
Reason: morphogenesis of a branching structure is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Reason: GO:0001837 epithelial to mesenchymal transition is supported by TGF-beta-1-mediated Smad activation driving EMT in A549 cells (E-cadherin repression, vimentin/Snail/Slug induction), modulated by syntenin's control of TbetaRI internalization. EMT is the canonical downstream SMAD-dependent program of the pathway, a consequence of the core receptor-binding function, so it is non-core.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Reason: GO:0001837 epithelial to mesenchymal transition. In pancreatic cancer cells TGF-beta-1 is the secreted ligand whose binding to TGFBR2/TGFBR1 initiates SMAD2/3 signaling that drives the EMT program; this paper uses exogenous TGF-beta-1 as the canonical EMT inducer and shows miR-202-mediated knockdown of the receptors blocks that response. EMT itself is a downstream transcriptional/morphological program executed by Snail/ZEB/Twist transcription factors acting downstream of receptor engagement, not a molecular activity TGF-beta-1 performs; the gene product's role is restricted to the upstream ligand/receptor-binding step. Non-core because EMT is a context-specific (tumor) consequence of the core receptor-binding + SMAD signaling function rather than that function itself.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Reason: GO:0001837 epithelial to mesenchymal transition. In this study TGF-Ξ²1 (5 ng/mL) was applied to A549 alveolar epithelial cells as the positive control for EMT, where it strongly downregulated E-cadherin and raised Ξ±-SMA, i.e. drove the epithelial-to-mesenchymal phenotypic switch (the paper's own focus is TMPRSS4, which partially opposes this). EMT is a multi-gene transcriptional and phenotypic program executed downstream of TGFB1 receptor binding and SMAD signaling in the target epithelial cell, not a molecular activity the secreted ligand itself performs, so it is a non-core consequence of TGFB1's core receptor-binding/SMAD-initiating role.
Supporting Evidence:

GO:0001837 epithelial to mesenchymal transition
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Reason: epithelial to mesenchymal transition is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 is a principal inducer of EMT, but this is a multi-step cellular program executed by many downstream effectors; for the ligand it is a major downstream consequence of receptor binding and SMAD signaling rather than a core molecular activity. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

Summary: neural tube closure.
Reason: neural tube closure is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: sprouting angiogenesis.
Reason: GO:0002040 sprouting angiogenesis reflects TGF-beta-1 secreted by adipose-derived stem cells acting in a paracrine manner to promote angiogenesis of dermal microvascular endothelial cells; silencing TGFB1 reverses this angiogenic effect. Angiogenesis here is a paracrine, cell-non-autonomous outcome of the ligand reaching endothelial receptors, a downstream consequence of the core receptor-binding function, hence non-core. The abstract supports an angiogenesis role but does not specify the sprouting subtype, which rests on the uncited full text.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: chondrocyte differentiation.
Reason: GO:0002062 chondrocyte differentiation records TGF-beta1 driving chondrogenic differentiation of human marrow stromal cells (induction of aggrecan and collagen type II). This is a lineage-specification outcome downstream of TGF-beta1/SMAD signaling (here acting synergistically with Wnt/beta-catenin), a tissue-specific developmental role rather than the core receptor-binding activity, so it is correctly non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15040835

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation.
Reason: GO:0002244 hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation places TGF-beta-1 as a TGF-beta superfamily regulator of hematopoietic/erythroid progenitor fate, a downstream differentiation program driven through receptor/SMAD signaling and therefore non-core. The cached abstract concerns FLRG/follistatin and the activin/BMP control of erythropoiesis and does not mention TGF-beta-1 specifically, so the TGF-beta-1 attribution for this term rests on the uncited full text; it is retained rather than removed per the policy on experimental annotations whose full text is unavailable.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: connective tissue replacement involved in inflammatory response wound healing.
Reason: Annotates TGF-beta-1 to connective tissue replacement during inflammatory wound healing (TAS). This tissue-level fibrotic/repair process reflects TGF-beta-1-driven fibroblast activation and collagen matrix deposition, a downstream physiological consequence of receptor/SMAD signaling rather than the ligand's molecular activity, hence non-core. The cited abstract concerns thrombin-stimulated fibroblast procollagen production via PAR-1 and does not itself mention TGF-beta-1, so the TGF-beta-1-specific support rests on the uncached full text and no verbatim quote is asserted.
GO:0002460 adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains.
Reason: adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 is a master immunomodulatory cytokine, but its effect on this immune process is mediated through receptor-driven SMAD transcriptional output in target cells; a genuine but downstream immunoregulatory role, non-core relative to the ligand's receptor-binding function. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: negative regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity directed against tumor cell target.
Reason: GO:0002859 negative regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity directed against tumor cell target. This is the central finding of the paper: TGF-Ξ²1-treated human NK cells show reduced tumor cytolysis and abrogated perforin polarization, because TGF-Ξ²1 induces miR-183 that represses the NK signaling adaptor DAP12. The suppression of NK anti-tumor killing is an indirect, cell-context-specific downstream consequence of TGFB1 receptor binding and SMAD signaling (operating through an induced microRNA), not a core molecular activity the ligand itself carries out, hence non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:24586048

GO:0003179 heart valve morphogenesis

Reason: heart valve morphogenesis is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: aortic valve morphogenesis.
Reason: GO:0003180 aortic valve morphogenesis captures the developmental/homeostatic consequence of TGF-beta-1 signaling in the valve, not its molecular activity. The paper shows that valve endothelial cell-derived Tgfb1 maintains Sox9 in valve interstitial cells and that its loss leads to calcific aortic valve disease, i.e. the morphogenetic/homeostatic phenotype is a downstream outcome of TGFBR1/2 engagement and SMAD signaling rather than a function the ligand performs directly. Keep as non-core: this tissue-level valve role is one of many pleiotropic contexts entrained by the core receptor-binding function. The cached abstract frames the role as calcification/disease rather than morphogenesis per se, so the specific morphogenesis term rests on the uncited full text.

Summary: protein export from nucleus.
Reason: GO:0006611 protein export from nucleus. This Smad7-focused study reports that in COS1/COS7 cells TGF-beta-1 treatment triggers relocation of the inhibitory Smad7 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. TGF-beta-1 does not itself execute nuclear export; it is the extracellular ligand whose receptor binding and SMAD signaling indirectly cause Smad7 nucleocytoplasmic redistribution, and the paper notes this behaviour is cell-type dependent (it does not occur in Hep3B/HeLa cells). Over-annotation because the nuclear-export phenotype is a far-downstream, cell-type-restricted consequence of TGF-beta-1 signaling that the ligand does not itself perform, not a molecular activity of the cytokine or a canonical signaling step it carries out.

Reason: canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 is a master immunomodulatory cytokine, but its effect on this immune process is mediated through receptor-driven SMAD transcriptional output in target cells; a genuine but downstream immunoregulatory role, non-core relative to the ligand's receptor-binding function. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: salivary gland morphogenesis.
Reason: GO:0007435 salivary gland morphogenesis is an IEP (expression-pattern) annotation: TGF-beta-1 protein is spatially and temporally expressed during human minor salivary gland development, first appearing at the canalisation stage in surrounding mesenchyme and later in acinar cells. The inferred developmental role is a downstream morphogenetic consequence of secreted-ligand signaling to receptors, so it is non-core. The expression correlation supports a developmental role but not a direct molecular activity.

Reason: Annotates TGF-beta-1 to positive regulation of cell proliferation (IDA). The cited paper concerns TGF-beta-inducible plasma-cell membrane glycoprotein-1 (PC-1/ENPP1) and inorganic pyrophosphate production in chondrocytes; its abstract does not itself address TGF-beta-1 promoting cell proliferation. TGF-beta-1 can be mitogenic in certain mesenchymal contexts, but that is a context-specific downstream signaling output and thus non-core. The abstract provides no verbatim support for the proliferation term, so the claim rests on the uncached full text; no quote is asserted.

Summary: positive regulation of cell population proliferation.
Reason: GO:0008284 positive regulation of cell population proliferation reflects the context-dependent growth-stimulating action of TGF-beta1 on mesenchymal and tumour cells, here on MG63 osteosarcoma cells where ALK5/SMAD signaling induces PDGF-AA and upregulates c-Myc to drive proliferation. This proliferative output is opposite in sign to TGF-beta1's usual cytostatic effect and is a cell-type-specific downstream response to receptor binding, peripheral to the core cytokine activity, so it is non-core.

Summary: positive regulation of cell population proliferation.
Reason: Positive regulation of cell population proliferation is supported by loss-of-function data in hepatocellular carcinoma: depleting TGF-beta1 reduced HCC colony-formation ability, an effect reversed by the downstream effector miR-208-3p. TGF-beta1 promotes proliferation here indirectly, through the TGFB1/miR-208-3p/ARID2 axis, a cancer-context downstream consequence of its signaling rather than a core molecular function of the cytokine, so it is retained as non-core.

The antiproliferative response is a downstream transcriptional output of TGF-beta-1 receptor/SMAD signaling, so it is non-core relative to the ligand's receptor-binding function.

The cytostatic effect is a canonical transcriptional output of TGF-beta-1 binding TGFBR1/2 and activating Smad3, i.e. a downstream consequence of the receptor/SMAD cascade rather than the ligand's own molecular activity, so it is non-core.

Summary: negative regulation of cell population proliferation.
Reason: Annotates TGF-beta-1 to negative regulation of cell proliferation (IMP). In myometrial smooth muscle cells TGF-beta-1 inhibited DNA synthesis by 31-54%, an antiproliferative effect reversed by a neutralizing antibody. This cytostatic response is a downstream outcome of TGF-beta-1 receptor engagement and SMAD signaling in a specific cell type, so it is non-core to the ligand's core receptor-binding function.

Summary: positive regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor production.
Reason: GO:0010575 positive regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor production. In aortic endothelial cells TGF-beta-1 upregulates VEGF expression through the ALK5/TGFBR2/SMAD2 arm (antagonized by BMP-9/ALK1/SMAD1), establishing TGF-beta-1 as a positive regulator of VEGF in the endothelium. This is a downstream transcriptional output of the core receptor-binding + SMAD2 signaling function: TGF-beta-1 is the initiating ligand and the VEGF promoter response is executed by SMAD transcription factors, not by the cytokine directly. Non-core because VEGF induction is one context-specific (endothelial/angiogenic) downstream effect of TGF-beta-1 signaling rather than its core molecular activity.

In this chondrocyte/osteoarthritis study the specific, directly measured TGF-beta-1 effect is a DECREASE in miR-29a/b/c expression (i.e. negative regulation of those miRNA genes), not a positive effect, so the paper does not directly substantiate a positive-direction gene-expression term for TGF-beta-1 (any positive consequence would be indirect de-repression of miR-29 targets). Whatever the direction, regulation of target-gene expression is a downstream transcriptional output of the core receptor-binding + SMAD signaling pathway, executed by SMAD transcription factors, and is tissue/context-specific (cartilage). Non-core; no verbatim text supports the positive-direction claim, so no supporting quote is provided.

This positive effect on specific target genes is a downstream transcriptional output of the core receptor-binding + SMAD function (SMAD transcription factors act at the miR-199/214 promoter), with TGF-beta-1 acting as the upstream ligand.

This is an inferred pathway-level (TAS) consequence of TGF-beta signaling in vascular remodeling, not a direct molecular activity of the ligand; the paper documents the miR-29b/MMP/collagen biology but does not contain a sentence tying TGF-beta-1 itself to inhibition of ECM disassembly, so no quote is asserted.

As the upstream ligand that initiates EMT, TGF-beta-1 positively regulates the transition, which is exactly what this term asserts (the transition itself is then executed downstream by SLUG/ZEB transcription factors).

Summary: positive regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
Reason: GO:0010718 positive regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. PMID:21319131 uses TGF-beta-induced EMT in HK-2 proximal tubular cells as an assay (attenuated by BMP-5) in the context of nephrosclerosis. TGF-beta1-driven EMT is a well-documented downstream morphogenetic/fibrotic program of Smad signaling, context-specific and non-core relative to receptor binding. The supporting evidence code here is NAS.

Reason: GO:0010742 macrophage derived foam cell differentiation. PMID:15219857 shows TGF-beta1 upregulates ACAT-1 (cholesterol acyltransferase) during monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation; the curator inferred (IC) a contribution to foam-cell formation from this cholesterol-esterification effect, relevant to atherosclerotic lesions. This is an indirect, disease-context consequence of TGF-beta1 signaling. The cached abstract does not mention foam cells explicitly (the row is an IC inference), so that specific link rests on the curator's reasoning and full-text reading.

Summary: positive regulation of fibroblast migration.
Reason: GO:0010763 positive regulation of fibroblast migration captures a motogenic output of TGF-beta1 in a transmembrane (Boyden) migration assay, where TGF-beta1 reproduced the dose-dependent stimulation of fibroblast migration seen with thrombospondin-1. This is a downstream cellular response elicited after TGF-beta1 binds TGFBR1/2 and activates SMAD signaling, not the receptor-binding event itself, and it is cell-type- and context-specific (fibroblast migration here was shown to be TGF-beta1-independent in the TSP-1 pathway), so it is peripheral to the core receptor-ligand function and correctly non-core.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: negative regulation of macrophage cytokine production.
Reason: GO:0010936 negative regulation of macrophage cytokine production. In the developing intestine TGF-beta suppresses LPS-induced macrophage pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-alpha/IL-8) production; the study attributes most of this activity to the TGF-beta2 isoform, with recombinant TGF-beta-1 producing a smaller but real suppressive effect. This anti-inflammatory suppression is a downstream immunomodulatory consequence of TGF-beta-1 receptor binding and SMAD2 signaling in a specific tissue/developmental context (fetal intestinal macrophage differentiation), not a core molecular activity of the cytokine, and TGF-beta-1 is not the dominant isoform here. Non-core; supporting text confirms TGF-beta (particularly the beta2 isoform) suppresses macrophage cytokine production.

Summary: hyaluronan catabolic process.
Reason: Annotates TGF-beta-1 to hyaluronan catabolic process. In human dermal fibroblasts TGF-beta-1 did not stimulate hyaluronan synthesis but increased hyaluronidase (HYAL) activity, favoring hyaluronan degradation. Modulating HYAL activity is a downstream transcriptional/enzymatic output of TGF-beta-1 receptor/SMAD signaling in fibroblasts, so the catabolic role is non-core to the ligand's core function.

Summary: positive regulation of cell migration.
Reason: GO:0030335 positive regulation of cell migration. In PC3/PC3-M prostate cancer cells, TGF-beta1 stimulates cell migration via ALK5/Smad2/3 and additionally neutralizes endoglin's anti-migratory effect by triggering ALK2/ALK5-mediated phosphorylation of the endoglin cytosolic domain, so TGF-beta1 promotes migration of these cells. This pro-migratory effect is a downstream, cell-context-specific (metastatic carcinoma) consequence of TGF-beta1 receptor engagement and its canonical/non-canonical signaling, not a core molecular activity the secreted ligand itself executes; non-core.

Reason: Membrane protein intracellular domain proteolysis refers to TGF-beta-1 triggering regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) of the membrane-bound transcription factor CREB3L1, releasing its cytosolic domain. Importantly TGF-beta-1 does not perform the cleavage itself (S1P/S2P do); it induces RIP indirectly by repressing TM4SF20 through an ERK-dependent pathway. This is a highly indirect downstream effect of TGF-beta signaling on another protein's processing, clearly non-core for the ligand.

PMID:25196641 shows that in hepatocellular carcinoma cells the TGF-beta/Smad3 axis drives NF-kappaB/IL-6/STAT-3 signaling, and that suppressing Smad3 inactivates this IL-6 arm, placing TGF-beta1 upstream of IL-6 output in this cancer context.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: receptor catabolic process.
Reason: GO:0032801 receptor catabolic process relates to this study's finding that cholesterol loading drives TGF-beta receptors into lipid rafts/caveolae and promotes rapid degradation, thereby suppressing TGF-beta responsiveness. The process is about turnover/degradation of the TGF-beta receptor system, a regulatory event imposed on the pathway (and on the ligand) rather than a catalytic or binding function that TGFB1 itself performs; the abstract describes degradation in the atherogenesis context but does not substantiate TGFB1 executing receptor catabolism, so this is a peripheral, context-specific annotation kept as non-core (no abstract sentence directly supports the term; the detail rests on the uncached full text).

Reason: GO:0032930 positive regulation of superoxide anion generation. In rat vascular smooth muscle cells TGF-Ξ²1 promoted reactive oxygen species generation, which in turn activated PARP1 upstream of Smad3; the induced ROS is an early signaling intermediate of TGFB1 action, not a molecular activity of the ligand, so the annotation is a downstream, non-core consequence. Note that the paper documents ROS generically (measured by DCFH2-DA) rather than superoxide anion specifically, so the term is more precise than what was actually assayed.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process.
Reason: Positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process is well supported: TGF-beta-1 activates COL1A1 synthesis, acutely via SMAD2/3-SMAD4 and in a sustained manner via CREB3L1-driven transcription of collagen-ECM genes. Stimulating collagen production is a canonical downstream transcriptional output of TGFBR binding and SMAD signaling, a biological process rather than the ligand's core molecular activity, so it is kept as non-core.

Summary: positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process.
Reason: positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process is an electronic (IEA) annotation under GO_REF:0000120. TGF-beta-1 is a strong driver of matrix deposition, but the biosynthetic/assembly steps are performed by collagen and ECM machinery in responding cells; for the ligand this is a downstream SMAD-dependent transcriptional consequence rather than a core activity. No primary publication is attached to this electronic annotation, so no supporting quote is asserted.

Summary: positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process.
Reason: Annotates TGF-beta-1 to positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process (IMP). Neutralizing endogenous TGF-betas reduced type I and type III collagen mRNA by 45-60% in myometrial/leiomyoma cells, indicating TGF-beta-1 supports collagen production. This pro-fibrotic transcriptional output is a classic downstream effect of TGF-beta-1-SMAD signaling on matrix genes, so it is non-core relative to the ligand's receptor-binding activity.

Summary: negative regulation of MyD88-dependent toll-like receptor signaling pathway.
Reason: GO:0034125 negative regulation of MyD88-dependent toll-like receptor signaling pathway is directly supported: TGF-beta-1 drives Smad6/Smurf-mediated K48 polyubiquitination and degradation of MyD88, suppressing MyD88-dependent TLR4/TLR2 pro-inflammatory signaling. This anti-inflammatory effect is a downstream consequence of TGFBR/SMAD signaling acting on the TLR adaptor, so it is a non-core immunomodulatory role relative to the core receptor-binding function.

Reason: GO:0036446 myofibroblast differentiation. In human lung fibroblasts TGF-Ξ²1 increased Ξ±-smooth muscle actin (the defining myofibroblast marker) together with collagens and enhanced contractility, i.e. it drove fibroblast-to-myofibroblast activation (the paper shows miR-27b opposes this by targeting TGFBR1/SMAD2). Myofibroblast differentiation is a downstream SMAD-dependent transcriptional/phenotypic program in the responding fibroblast, not a molecular activity of the secreted ligand, so it is non-core.

Reason: odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine.

The paper shows TGF-beta-1 produces a dose-dependent increase in paracellular permeability of CNS-derived endothelial monolayers. Increased vascular permeability is a downstream physiological effect of TGF-beta-1 receptor signaling acting on endothelial junctions, so it is non-core relative to the ligand's receptor-binding activity.

The abstract names non-canonical TGFbeta signalling and apoptosis but does not explicitly identify a MAPK cascade, so the specific MAPK-activation claim rests on the uncited full text. As a non-canonical branch downstream of receptor binding it is a non-core consequence of the core function.

TGF-beta1 (with IL-2) is the canonical cytokine driving induced Treg (iTreg) differentiation; in this paper TGF-beta/Smad3 signaling transcriptionally induces the deubiquitinase USP44, which stabilizes FOXP3 and is required for Treg function. The role in Treg differentiation is a downstream transcriptional/lineage program set in motion by TGF-beta1 receptor binding and SMAD signaling in a specific (immune) cell context, not a distinct core molecular activity of the ligand; non-core.

Summary: positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.
Reason: GO:0045944 positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. The cached abstract of PMID:12574355 concerns IL-4/CD40-driven induction of AID via JAK/STAT6 in B cells and does not mention TGF-beta1; TGF-beta is a well-known cofactor in B-cell isotype switching, so the transcription-activation annotation to TGFB1 likely rests on full-text data the curator read (not cached). Positive regulation of Pol II transcription is in any case a broad downstream SMAD-mediated effect rather than a core molecular activity. Per policy the experimental annotation is retained, not removed, despite the abstract foregrounding IL-4/AID.

Summary: positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.
Reason: GO:0045944 positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II reflects TGF-beta1/SMAD transcriptional activation of the protein-coding gene SNAIL1, with the pathway cooperating with HMGA2 to increase SMAD occupancy at the SNAIL1 promoter and thereby raise SNAIL1 expression. This is a nuclear transcriptional output downstream of receptor engagement and SMAD translocation, peripheral to the core cytokine-receptor binding activity, so it is non-core.

Summary: positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.
Reason: GO:0045944 positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. In VSMCs TGF-Ξ²1 drove Smad3-dependent transactivation and upregulated transcription of target genes (collagen IΞ±1, collagen IIIΞ±1, TIMP1). This Pol II transcriptional activation is the canonical downstream nuclear output of the TGFB1/SMAD3 cascade executed by the SMAD transcription factors in the responding cell, not a molecular activity of the secreted ligand itself, so it is retained as non-core relative to TGFB1's core receptor-binding function.

Reason: GO:0048298 positive regulation of isotype switching to IgA isotypes. The cached abstract of PMID:14988498 concerns APRIL's role in IgA class switching and does not mention TGF-beta1; however TGF-beta1 is the canonical switch factor directing IgA class-switch recombination, so this immunological role is well established and the TGF-beta1-specific evidence rests on the curator's full-text reading (not cached). It is a cell-type-specific downstream function of receptor/Smad signaling, non-core relative to receptor binding. The experimental annotation is retained, not removed, despite the abstract foregrounding APRIL.

Reason: lymph node development is a sequence-similarity transfer from an experimentally-characterized ortholog (ISS, GO_REF:0000024). TGF-beta-1 signaling helps pattern this developmental/morphogenetic program, but the ligand's own role is to bind its receptors and drive SMAD-dependent transcription; the developmental outcome is a downstream, tissue-context-dependent consequence rather than a core activity of the cytokine.

Summary: negative regulation of skeletal muscle tissue development.
Reason: GO:0048642 negative regulation of skeletal muscle tissue development. The same study establishes that TGF-Ξ² inhibits myogenesis through MEF2 relocalization from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, preventing MEF2 from participating in the active transcriptional complex needed for muscle-gene expression. Suppression of skeletal-muscle differentiation is a downstream developmental consequence of TGFB1 signaling in myogenic cells, not a direct molecular activity of the ligand, so it is retained as non-core.
Supporting Evidence:

Reason: Annotates TGF-beta-1 to positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation. The paper identifies a pro-proliferative TGF-beta-1-Stat3-FoxO1 axis in vascular smooth muscle cells. Promotion of VSMC proliferation is a cell-type- and context-specific downstream output of the receptor-activated signaling axis, so it is non-core relative to TGF-beta-1's core receptor-binding/SMAD-initiating function.

Reason: GO:0050680 negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation reflects the antiproliferative action of TGF-beta1 on corneal epithelial cells, tested here in single-cell clonal growth assays alongside GDF-5. The abstract reports that GDF-5 inhibited proliferation of corneal epithelial and stromal cells and that TGF-beta1 was used in the same proliferation assays, but it does not state TGF-beta1's specific result, so the antiproliferative effect of TGF-beta1 here rests on the uncached full text. This cytostatic effect is a downstream response to TGF-beta1 receptor binding and SMAD signaling, peripheral to the core activity, so it is kept as non-core.

Reason: negative regulation of phagocytosis is an electronic transfer from an experimentally-annotated ortholog via Ensembl Compara (IEA, GO_REF:0000107). TGF-beta-1 is a master immunomodulatory cytokine, but its effect on this immune process is mediated through receptor-driven SMAD transcriptional output in target cells; a genuine but downstream immunoregulatory role, non-core relative to the ligand's receptor-binding function.

The abstract reports stimulation of cell migration but does not use the word chemotaxis, so no sentence specifically substantiates this exact term; the chemotactic framing rests on the uncached full text. The term is in any case a downstream motility response to TGF-beta1 receptor binding and SMAD signaling, peripheral to the core cytokine-receptor function, so it is retained as non-core.

Summary: positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade.
Reason: Positive regulation of the ERK1/ERK2 cascade reflects TGF-beta-1's non-canonical (SMAD-independent) signaling: it activates ERKs, which in this study drive repression of TM4SF20 and the resulting RIP of CREB3L1. ERK activation is a downstream, non-canonical branch of TGF-beta signaling distinct from the protein's core receptor-binding and SMAD-initiating function, so the annotation is correctly non-core.

Reason: GO:0070723 response to cholesterol is supported by the demonstration that cholesterol loading suppresses or attenuates TGF-beta responsiveness across cell types (reduced SMAD2 phosphorylation, PAI-1 induction and growth inhibition), while cholesterol depletion enhances it. The TGF-beta signaling system thus responds to cellular cholesterol levels; this is a regulatory-input/environmental-response property modulating the pathway, downstream and peripheral to the core receptor-binding function, hence non-core.

Summary: cellular response to low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus.
Reason: GO:0071404 cellular response to low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus. In PMID:32141990 TGF-beta1 is induced/activated by oxidized LDL in endothelial cells, i.e. here TGF-beta1 is a responder whose expression and activity change as part of the cellular response to a modified LDL particle. This is an upstream-stimulus/expression relationship specific to the vascular-injury setting, not a core molecular activity of the secreted ligand.

Summary: cellular response to hypoxia.
Reason: GO:0071456 cellular response to hypoxia reflects TGF-beta-1 being an output of the hypoxic response: in adipose-derived stem cells HIF1A and TGFbeta1 expression rise under hypoxia (via HIF1A repressing miR-20a, which otherwise targets TGFB1). This places TGF-beta-1 as a hypoxia-regulated effector rather than performing a hypoxia-sensing activity itself, so it is a non-core, context-specific role downstream of the hypoxia/HIF1A axis.

Reason: GO:0085029 extracellular matrix assembly. The paper demonstrates that TGF-Ξ²1 released by mesenchymal stem cells drives extracellular matrix production (procollagen/COL1A1 gene expression) by lung fibroblasts, one of the two hallmarks of fibrogenesis. The evidence directly supports TGFB1-driven ECM/collagen production (which feeds matrix formation) rather than the ECM assembly/cross-linking step per se; this is a downstream consequence of TGFB1/SMAD signaling in target cells and is retained as non-core.

Summary: positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway.
Reason: GO:0090263 positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. In pancreatic cancer cells TGF-Ξ²/Smad3 represses miR-29c, which de-represses Wnt upstream regulators and thereby activates the canonical Wnt/Ξ²-catenin cascade. TGFB1's positive effect on Wnt signaling is thus indirect crosstalk operating through an induced reduction in a microRNA, a cell-context-specific downstream consequence of TGFB1/SMAD signaling rather than a core molecular activity, so it is non-core.

No verbatim sentence substantiates the extrinsic-pathway specificity; that distinction rests on the uncached full text.

The abstract states TGF-beta-1 did not increase hyaluronan-synthesizing activity in dermal fibroblasts (and instead raised hyaluronidase activity); it does not explicitly report a decrease in hyaluronan synthase expression/activity substantiating active negative regulation of biosynthesis. Any such effect is a downstream consequence of TGF-beta-1-SMAD signaling and non-core; the specific claim of negative regulation of biosynthesis rests on the uncached full text, so no verbatim quote is asserted.

Reason: Annotates TGF-beta-1 to positive regulation of mesenchymal stem cell proliferation (IGI). The paper shows miR-181a blocks TGF-beta signaling (downregulating TGFBR1/TGFBRAP1) and prevents MSC proliferation, implying intact TGF-beta signaling supports MSC proliferation. This genetic-interaction inference links TGF-beta-1 to MSC proliferation only indirectly, via a downstream receptor-signaling output, so it is non-core. The abstract contains no verbatim statement of TGF-beta-1 promoting MSC proliferation, so no quote is asserted.

The abstract frames this as decreased expression/phosphorylation rather than explicitly as loss of plasma-membrane localization, so the specific localization claim rests on the uncached full text and no verbatim quote is asserted. The effect is a downstream consequence of TGF-beta-1 receptor signaling on endothelial junctions, hence non-core.

Summary: negative regulation of cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin.
Reason: GO:2000048 negative regulation of cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin captures the loosening of adherens junctions during TGF-beta1 signaling. This study is actually about Smad7 (an inhibitory SMAD that antagonizes TGF-beta signaling) promoting cell-cell adhesion by stabilizing the beta-catenin/E-cadherin complex, so the negative-regulation annotation on TGFB1 is the inferred inverse: active TGF-beta/SMAD signaling reduces cadherin-mediated adhesion. The abstract describes Smad7's pro-adhesive effect, not a direct statement that TGF-beta1 negatively regulates cadherin adhesion, so that attribution rests on the uncached full text. The term is a downstream, indirect consequence of signaling (EMT-associated junction disassembly), peripheral to the core cytokine-receptor activity, and is retained as non-core.

Summary: positive regulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 production.
Reason: GO:2000343 positive regulation of chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 production. This is one more component of the ox-LDL-induced endothelial inflammatory program that TGF-beta1 drives in PMID:32141990. CXCL2 induction is a downstream, context-specific output of receptor binding plus Smad3 signaling rather than a core activity. The cached abstract reports only a general inflammatory response and does not name CXCL2, so the CXCL2-specific claim rests on the curator's full-text reading (not cached).

Summary: positive regulation of endothelial cell apoptotic process.
Reason: GO:2000353 positive regulation of endothelial cell apoptotic process. PMID:32141990 shows that silencing TGF-beta1 reverses the ox-LDL-induced apoptosis of HUVECs (endothelial cells), so TGF-beta1 promotes endothelial apoptosis in this oxidative-stress context. TGF-beta1 is anti-apoptotic/cytoprotective in many other settings, underscoring that this pro-apoptotic effect is a context-specific downstream consequence of Smad3 signaling, not a core function.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:32141990
Silence of TGF-Ξ²1 reversed the inductive effect of ox-LDL on apoptosis and inflammatory response of HUVECs.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: positive regulation of primary miRNA processing.
Reason: GO:2000636 positive regulation of primary miRNA processing. This study shows TGF-beta (and BMP) signaling promotes post-transcriptional maturation of miR-21: receptor-activated R-SMADs are recruited to pri-miR-21 together with the helicase p68, a DROSHA microprocessor subunit, enhancing cropping of pri-miR-21 into pre-miR-21 in a SMAD4-independent manner. Enhancing microprocessor-mediated miRNA processing is a specialized non-canonical downstream branch of TGF-beta1/SMAD signaling (in vascular smooth muscle and cancer cells), not the secreted ligand's core receptor-binding activity; non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18548003
TGF-Ξ² and BMP signalling promotes a rapid increase in expression of mature miR-21 through a post-transcriptional step, promoting the processing of primary transcripts of miR-21 (pri-miR-21) into precursor miR-21 (pre-miR-21) by the DROSHA (also known as RNASEN) complex

Summary: positive regulation of cardiac muscle cell differentiation.
Reason: GO:2000727 positive regulation of cardiac muscle cell differentiation records TGF-beta1 inducing differentiation of cardiosphere-derived (cardiac progenitor) cells, confirmed by qPCR, immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. This is a tissue-specific developmental outcome downstream of TGF-beta1/SMAD signaling, not the core receptor-binding activity, and is appropriately non-core.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which of the many TGF-beta-1-regulated processes reflect direct autocrine/paracrine signaling versus systemic or indirect effects, and how is context-specific SMAD output determined?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Cell-type-resolved profiling of SMAD target genes after acute, latency-bypassing TGF-beta-1 stimulation to separate direct transcriptional responses from secondary effects.
