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-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...
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 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 کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-AB promotes the generation of adult bone marrow-derived cardiac myocytes.
The directed generation of cardiac myocytes from endogenous stem cells offers the potential for novel therapies for cardiovascular disease. To facilitate the development of such approaches, we sought to identify and exploit the pathways directing the generation of cardiac myocytes from adult rodent bone marrow cells (BMCs). In vitro cultures supporting the spontaneous generation of functional c...
