TGFβ superfamily includes the transforming growth factor βs (TGFβs),bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs),growth and differentiation factors (GDFs) and Activin/Inhibin families of ligands.Among the 33 members of TGFβ superfamily ligands,many act on multiple types of cells within the heart,including cardiomyocytes,cardiac fibroblasts/myofibroblasts,coronary endothelial cells,smooth muscle cells,and immune cells (e.g.monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils).In this review,we highlight recent discoveries on TGFβs,BMPs,and GDFs in different cardiac residential cellular components,in association with functional impacts in heart development,injury repair,and dysfunction.Specifically,we will review the roles of TGFβs,BMPs,and GDFs in cardiac hypertrophy,fibrosis,contractility,metabolism,angiogenesis,and regeneration.
