TGF-β signalling plays an important role in fibroblasts activation and tumour progression. Here, we report that the TGFBR-IDH1-Cav1 axis promotes TGF- β signalling in fibroblasts. Our data demonstrated that IDH1 was downregulated by TGF-β signalling in fibroblasts, and downregulation of IDH1 increased cellular concentration of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) by accelerating glutamine metabolization. Interestingly, α-KG suppressed Cav1 expression through reducing the trimethylation of histone H3K4. Furthe ...[more]
