Mitogenic activity of cementum components to gingival fibroblasts.
Cementum forms the interface between root dentin and periodontal ligament through which periodontal connective tissue is attached to root surfaces. We have examined how cementum components influence the biological activities of gingival fibroblasts. Cementum was harvested from freshly extracted human teeth and extracted sequentially with 0.5 mol/L acetic acid, 4 mol/L guanidine-0.5 mol/L EDTA, ...
متن کاملBiological characterization of human fibroblast-derived mitogenic factors for human melanocytes.
To clarify the paracrine linkage between human fibroblasts and melanocytes in cutaneous pigmentation, we studied the effects of human fibroblast-derived factors on the proliferation of human melanocytes. In medium conditioned for 4 days with human fibroblast culture, factors were produced that markedly stimulated DNA synthesis of human melanocytes. The stimulatory effect was higher in medium co...
متن کاملMitogenic signaling via platelet-derived growth factor beta in metanephric mesenchymal cells.
Mice deficient in either platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) B chain or PDGF receptor (PDGFR) beta lack mesangial cells. PDGF stimulates proliferation and migration of metanephric mesenchymal cells, from which mesangial cells are derived. Binding of PDGF to PDGFR-beta induces autophosphorylation at specific tyrosine residues and activates various effector proteins, including phosphatidylinosi...
متن کاملDissociation of the chemotactic and mitogenic activities of platelet- derived growth factor by human neutrophil elastase
Because platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) may be released at sites where neutrophil proteinases may also be released, we examined the effects of neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G upon the chemotactic and mitogenic activities of PDGF. Elastase abolished the chemotactic activity of PDGF for fibroblasts but had no effect on its chemotactic activity for monocytes, or on its mitogenic activity...
متن کاملMitogenic and chemotactic effects of platelet-derived growth factor on human retinal glial cells.
Glial cell migration and proliferation appear to play a role in many of the proliferative retinopathies. Knowledge concerning the regulation of the migratory and proliferative responses of glial cells to pathophysiologic conditions in the human retina is limited. Here, we report that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has both mitogenic and chemotactic effects on human retinal glial cells in...
