Platelet-derived growth factor induces cellular growth in cultured chick ventricular myocytes.
OBJECTIVES Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates growth in various types of cells, but little is known about its effect on cardiac myocytes. Therefore, we examined whether PDGF had a direct effect on cardiac myocytes and investigated their intracellular signaling pathways. METHODS A primary culture of chick embryonic (Hamburger and Hamilton stage 36) ventricular myocytes was prepar...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor.
Platelet-derived growth factor was purified from fresh platelets by a large-scale procedure not involving the use of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate). The product, 0.5 mg of platelet-derived growth factor, obtained from about 3 x 1013 platelets migrated as a single component in analytical gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS and showed no inhomogeneity on sedimentation-equilibrium analysis i...
متن کاملv-erbA oncogene induces invasiveness and anchorage-independent growth in cultured glial cells by mechanisms involving platelet-derived growth factor.
The v-erbA oncogene coding for a mutated form of the thyroid hormone (T3) receptor (TR alpha 1) increased the invasion capacity of the mouse B3.1 glial cell line. This effect was mediated by the induction of platelet-derived growth factor (c-sis/PDGF B), as shown by its inhibition using an anti-PDGF BB antibody. Also, the low invasion capacity of parental B3.1 and c-erbA-expressing cells (B3.1 ...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-BB induces apoptosis in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells derived from human saphenous vein.
Apoptosis is increasingly recognized as an important factor in vascular remodelling and disease [I]. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a potent mitogen in many cell types, including human vascular smooth muscle cells [2], and has been implicated in the vascular response to injury and atherogenesis [3]. Induction of apoptosis is known to be influenced by the presence of survival fac...
متن کاملPlatelet-Derived Growth Factor signaling and the role of cellular crosstalk in functional muscle growth.
Increasing the understanding of the molecular and cellular players involved in the regulation of adult skeletal muscle mass is an important open issue in current muscle biology. Muscle mass is regulated through a delicate balance between protein synthesis and protein breakdown. Under conditions of muscle hypertrophy, protein synthesis exceeds protein breakdown, resulting in an increase in the s...
