Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-C, a PDGF family member with a vascular endothelial growth factor-like structure.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-C is a novel member of the PDGF family that binds to PDGF alphaalpha and alphabeta receptors. The growth factor domain of PDGF-C (GFD-PDGF-C) was expressed in high yields in Escherichia coli and was purified and refolded from inclusion bodies obtaining a biologically active growth factor with dimeric structure. The GFD-PDGF-C contains 12 cysteine residues, ...
متن کاملNeuropilin 1 binds platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-D and is a co-receptor in PDGF-D/PDGF receptor β signaling
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-D is a PDGF receptor β (PDGFRβ) specific ligand implicated in a number of pathological conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, but its biological function remains incompletely understood. In this study, we demonstrate that PDGF-D binds directly to NRP1, with the requirement of the C-terminal Arg residue of PDGF-D. Stimulation with PDGF-D, but...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-C (PDGF-C) activation by serine proteases: implications for breast cancer progression.
The PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) family members are potent mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin and serve as important regulators of cell migration, survival, apoptosis and transformation. Tumour-derived PDGF ligands are thought to function in both autocrine and paracrine manners, activating receptors on tumour and surrounding stromal cells. PDGF-C and -D are secreted as latent dim...
متن کاملLabel-free aptasensor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) protein.
A label-free aptasensor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) protein is reported. The aptasensor uses mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) composed of a thiol-modified PDGF binding aptamer and 6-mercaptohexanol (MCH) on a gold electrode. The SAMs were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) before an...
متن کاملAutocrine stimulation by platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B)
Autocrine stimulation by platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) like factors hasbeenwidely Implicated asan important mechanismin the causeand/or maintenanceof a variety of human tumors. However,normal human cells appear to be resistant to transformation by PDGF-B-like molecules,and a direct demonstrationof the tumor-promoting or tumor maintaining property of a PDGF-B autocrine system is lack...
