Platelet-derived growth factor promotes polymorphonuclear leukocyte activation.
The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has several well defined important biologic activities. Platelet-derived growth factor is the major mitogen in human serum for cells of mesenchymal origins; it is a potent chemoattractant protein for human monocytes, neutrophils, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells; and has been implicated in transformation by simian sarcoma virus and perhaps in transf...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-C promotes human melanoma aggressiveness through activation of neuropilin-1
Despite recent progress in advanced melanoma therapy, identification of signalling pathways involved in melanoma switch from proliferative to invasive states is still crucial to uncover new therapeutic targets for improving the outcome of metastatic disease. Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1), a co-receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) tyrosine kinase receptors (VEGFRs), has been suggest...
متن کاملEplerenone promotes alternative activation in human monocyte-derived macrophages.
BACKGROUND In this study, we have analyzed the response of human monocyte-derived macrophages to mineralocorticoid axis modulators. METHODS Human monocyte-derived macrophages were incubated with aldosterone alone, eplerenone alone, and the combination of aldosterone and eplerenone. The analyzed variables were nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species production, and the gene and protein expres...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor in human glioma.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a 30 kDa protein consisting of disulfide-bonded dimers of A- and B-chains. PDGF receptors are of two types, alpha- and beta-receptors, which are members of the protein-tyrosine kinase family of receptors. The receptors are activated by ligand-induced dimerization, whereby the receptors become phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. These form attachment sit...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-D promotes fibrogenesis of cardiac fibroblasts.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-D is a newly recognized member of the PDGF family with its role just now being understood. Our previous study shows that PDGF-D and its receptors (PDGFR-β) are significantly increased in the infarcted heart, where PDGFR-β is primarily expressed by fibroblasts, indicating the involvement of PDGF-D in the development of cardiac fibrosis. In continuing with th...
