Signal transduction by the receptors for platelet-derived growth factor.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a connective tissue cell mitogen that originally was purified from human platelets, but recently has been found to be produced by many different cell types (reviewed by Ross et al. 1986; Heldin and Westermark, 1989). The in vivo function of PDGF remains speculative, but the fact that PDGF is released by platelets and by cells involved in the inflammatory...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Sarcoma Overexpressing Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor α
Pulmonary artery sarcoma is highly malignant and easily metastasizes to the systemic organs. Both the introduction of novel diagnostic procedures and the development of new treatment modalities are required to achieve long-term survival. Several studies have shown that platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) gene amplification is frequently observed in pulmonary artery sarcoma. PDGFR...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor receptor sequences important for binding of src family tyrosine kinases.
We previously demonstrated that src family tyrosine kinases associate with activated platelet-derived growth factor receptors. We have now investigated the requirement for tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the human platelet-derived growth factor receptor for this binding. Tyrosine 857, but not tyrosine 751, is required for efficient association. Furthermore, even though src family tyrosine kin...
متن کاملMiR-34a inhibits colon cancer proliferation and metastasis by inhibiting platelet-derived growth factor receptor α.
The microRNA (miRNA), miR‑34a is significant in colon cancer progression. In the present study, the role of miR‑34a in colon cancer cell proliferation and metastasis was investigated. It was found that the expression of miR‑34a in colon cancer tissues and cell lines was lower when compared with that of normal tissues and cells. Further research demonstrated that miR‑34a inhibited cell prolifera...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor receptor α-positive cells in the tunica muscularis of human colon
An obstacle to understanding motor pathologies of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is that the physiology of some of the cellular components of the gut wall is not understood. Morphologists identified fibroblast-like cells in the tunica muscularis many years ago, but little is known about these interstitial cells because of inadequate techniques to identify these cells. Recent findings have show...
