Signal transduction by the receptors for platelet-derived growth factor.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a connective tissue cell mitogen that originally was purified from human platelets, but recently has been found to be produced by many different cell types (reviewed by Ross et al. 1986; Heldin and Westermark, 1989). The in vivo function of PDGF remains speculative, but the fact that PDGF is released by platelets and by cells involved in the inflammatory...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-mediated signal transduction underlying astrocyte proliferation: site of ethanol action.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a critical regulator of cell proliferation. Because ethanol inhibits cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro, we hypothesize that ethanol-induced inhibition results from differential interference with signal transduction pathways activated by PDGF. Cultured cortical astrocytes were used to examine the effects of ethanol on PDGF-mediated signal transducti...
متن کاملPlatelet-activating factor receptor and signal transduction.
During the past two decades, studies describing the chemistry and biology of PAF have been extensive. This potent phosphoacylglycerol exhibits a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological effects in various cells and tissues. PAF acts, through specific receptors and a variety of signal transduction systems, to elicit diverse biochemical responses. Several important future directions c...
متن کاملPhosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-independent signal transduction pathway for platelet-derived growth factor-induced chemotaxis.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB is a potent chemoattractant for mesenchymal cells. Intracellular signal transduction for PDGF-induced chemotactic response has been reported to be dependent on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activation. Here, we report a PI3K-independent pathway operating for PDGF-induced chemotaxis in vascular smooth muscle cells and other cell types. Two differen...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-B gene delivery sustains gingival fibroblast signal transduction.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Platelet-derived growth factor-BB is a potent mediator of tooth-supporting periodontal tissue repair and regeneration. A limitation of the effects of topical platelet-derived growth factor-BB application is its short half-life in vivo. Gene therapy has shown strong promise for the long-term delivery of platelet-derived growth factor in both skin ulcer healing and period...
