Platelet-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 کاملTargeting the platelet-derived growth factor receptor in antivascular therapy for human ovarian carcinoma.
PURPOSE We sought to determine whether blockade of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) activation by oral administration of a PDGF-R tyrosine kinase inhibitor (STI571) alone or in combination with i.p. paclitaxel can inhibit the progression of tumors caused by human ovarian carcinoma cells growing in the peritoneal cavity of female nude mice. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In several differ...
متن کاملEffects of platelet-derived growth factor on phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor in human skin fibroblasts.
Heterologous regulation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was studied in FS4 human skin fibroblasts. The addition of PDGF to FS4 cells inhibited high affinity binding of 125I-EGF and stimulated phosphorylation of the EGF receptor. Phosphopeptide analysis by high performance liquid chromatography revealed that PDGF treatment of cells increased...
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 کاملPlatelet - derived Growth Factor rnRNA Detection in Human
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) mRNA, and mRNA for its receptor, have been localized to specific cell types within the human atherosclerotic plaque, using in situ hybridization. The predominant cell types found to express PDGF A and B chain mRNA are mesenchymal-appearing intimal cells and endotheHal cells, respectively, with little or no expression detectedin macrophages. The distribution...
