p38 MAPK Signaling in Postnatal Tendon Growth and Remodeling
Tendon is a dynamic tissue whose structure and function is influenced by mechanical loading, but little is known about the fundamental mechanisms that regulate tendon growth and remodeling in vivo. Data from cultured tendon fibroblasts indicated that the p38 MAPK pathway plays an important role in tendon fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis in vitro. To gain greater insight into the ...
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 کاملThe platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor kinase insert confers specific signaling properties to a chimeric fibroblast growth factor receptor.
Signal transduction by tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors involves ligand-induced phosphorylation of substrates for the kinase, resulting in mediation of common or receptor-specific biological signals. We have compared signal transduction pathways for the fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1), the platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor (PDGFR-beta), and a chimeric FGFR-1 molec...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor signaling and human cancer.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a critical regulator of mesenchymal cell migration and proliferation. The vital functions of PDGFs for angiogenesis, as well as development of kidney, brain, cardiovascular system and pulmonary alveoli during embryogenesis, have been well demonstrated by gene knock-out approaches. Clinical studies reveal that aberrant expression of PDGF and its receptor ...
متن کاملCharacterization of platelet-derived growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor expression in asbestos-induced rat mesothelioma.
Although altered expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a hallmark of human mesothelioma, expression of PDGF receptors has not been characterized in this cell type. In addition, the expression of this growth factor and its cognate receptor in rodent mesothelioma has not been investigated. In this study, examination of transformed mesothelial cells derived from asbestos-induced r...
