Stage specific requirement of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α in embryonic development
BACKGROUND Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) is a cell-surface receptor tyrosine kinase for platelet-derived growth factors. Correct timing and level of Pdgfra expression is crucial for embryo development, and deletion of Pdgfra caused developmental defects of multiple endoderm and mesoderm derived structures, resulting in a complex phenotypes including orofacial cleft, spi...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (pdgfr-α) gene in zebrafish embryonic development
Here we present the cloning of a full-length zebrafish pdgfr-a cDNA as well as the expression of this gene during zebrafish embryogenesis. We show that zebrafish pdgfr-a mRNA is present at high levels in the fertilized egg as well as in all embryonic cells up to the end of gastrulation. Spatially restricted expression of the gene started after the onset of segmentation and is mainly localized i...
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 کاملModulation of muscarinic-receptor expression in human embryonic lung fibroblasts by platelet-derived growth factor.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is known to have regulatory control of a large number of cellular components, including various receptors. We show that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors of the m2 subtype on CCL 137 human fibroblasts in culture are affected by PDGF treatment. A time-dependent down-regulation is observed in steady-state RNA levels, followed by a decrease in ligand-binding ...
متن کاملPlatelet-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...
