TGFB1 and rheumatoid arthritis: Moreover, inhibition of the TGF-β1 type I receptor kinase has a preventive effect on the development of arthritis in mice [50] and TGF-β1 induces the expression of transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase κ (RPTPκ), which seems to be involved in cytoskeletal reorganisation, migration and invasiveness of RA synovial fibroblasts, promoting fibroblast migration through dephosphorylation of the tyrosine-protein kinase v-src avian sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (SRC) [51].
