PDGF-A Signaling Is a Critical Event in Lung Alveolar Myofibroblast Development and Alveogenesis
A mouse platelet-derived growth factor A chain (PDGF-A) null allele is shown to be homozygous lethal, with two distinct restriction points, one prenatally before E10 and one postnatally. Postnatally surviving PDGF-A-deficient mice develop lung emphysema secondary to the failure of alveolar septation. This is apparently caused by the loss of alveolar myofibroblasts and associated elastin fiber d...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of Gli proteins by Sufu in the lung affects PDGF signaling and myofibroblast development.
Mammalian Hedgehog (Hh) signaling relies on three Gli transcription factors to mediate Hh responses. This process is controlled in part by a major negative regulator, Sufu, through its effects on Gli protein level, distribution and activity. In this report, we showed that Sufu regulates Gli1 protein levels by antagonizing Numb/Itch. Otherwise, Numb/Itch would induce Gli1 protein degradation. Th...
متن کاملCorneal Stroma Regeneration with Acellular Corneal Stroma Sheets and Keratocytes in a Rabbit Model
Acellular corneal stroma matrix has been used for corneal stroma engineering. However, because of its compact tissue structure, regrowth of keratocytes into the scaffold is difficult. Previously, we developed a sandwich model for cartilage engineering using acellular cartilage sheets. In the present study, we tested this model for corneal stroma regeneration using acellular porcine corneal stro...
متن کاملThe role of the myofibroblast in tumor stroma remodeling
Since its first description in wound granulation tissue, the myofibroblast has been recognized to be a key actor in the epithelial-mesenchymal cross-talk that plays a crucial role in many physiological and pathological situations, such as regulation of prostate development, ventilation-perfusion in lung alveoli or organ fibrosis. The presence of myofibroblasts in the stroma reaction to epitheli...
متن کاملCytoplasmic granules of the corneal stroma cell.
I n 1955, Jackson described the existence of circulating cytoplasmic granules of polysaccharide-protein composition in the fibrogenic cells of bone, tendon, and cornea of the fowl embryo which were growing in tissue culture. Long-lasting metachromasia developed in these granules when toluidine blue or thionine was added to the culture medium. It was not specifically stated in that paper that th...
