Platelet-derived growth factor receptor α-positive cells in the tunica muscularis of human colon
An obstacle to understanding motor pathologies of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is that the physiology of some of the cellular components of the gut wall is not understood. Morphologists identified fibroblast-like cells in the tunica muscularis many years ago, but little is known about these interstitial cells because of inadequate techniques to identify these cells. Recent findings have show...
متن کاملMiR-34a inhibits colon cancer proliferation and metastasis by inhibiting platelet-derived growth factor receptor α.
The microRNA (miRNA), miR‑34a is significant in colon cancer progression. In the present study, the role of miR‑34a in colon cancer cell proliferation and metastasis was investigated. It was found that the expression of miR‑34a in colon cancer tissues and cell lines was lower when compared with that of normal tissues and cells. Further research demonstrated that miR‑34a inhibited cell prolifera...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Sarcoma Overexpressing Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor α
Pulmonary artery sarcoma is highly malignant and easily metastasizes to the systemic organs. Both the introduction of novel diagnostic procedures and the development of new treatment modalities are required to achieve long-term survival. Several studies have shown that platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) gene amplification is frequently observed in pulmonary artery sarcoma. PDGFR...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor in human colon cancer angiogenesis: role of infiltrating cells.
BACKGROUND Development of new blood vessels is essential for tumor growth and metastasis and depends on the production of angiogenic factors by tumor and/or infiltrating cells. We previously showed that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and vessel count correlate with metastasis in human colon cancer. Although most tumors with high vessel counts express high levels of VEGF, s...
