Platelet-derived growth factor in chemotactic for fibroblasts
Chemotaxis assays in modified Boyden chambers were used to detect fibroblast chemoattractants in materials released from early-stage inflammatory cells, namely, mast cells, platelets, and neutrophils. Strong attractant activity was found in substances released from platelets. This activity was accounted for mainly by the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which is released from the platelet...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-D promotes fibrogenesis of cardiac fibroblasts.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-D is a newly recognized member of the PDGF family with its role just now being understood. Our previous study shows that PDGF-D and its receptors (PDGFR-β) are significantly increased in the infarcted heart, where PDGFR-β is primarily expressed by fibroblasts, indicating the involvement of PDGF-D in the development of cardiac fibrosis. In continuing with th...

متن کاملSelective Upregulation of Platelet-derived Growth Factor c~ Receptors by Transforming Growth Factor/~ in Scleroder Fibroblasts
Transforming growth factor B (TGF-~), a multifunctional cytokine, is an indirect mitogen for human fibroblasts through platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), particularly the A ligand-c~ receptor arm of that system. TGF-~ effects on PDGF ot receptor expression were studied in vitro using ligand binding techniques in three human dermal fibroblast strains: newborn foreskin, adult skin, and sclero...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation mediates actin rearrangements in fibroblasts.
Various agonist-induced cell responses in neutrophils and fibroblasts, such as chemotaxis and cytoskeletal rearrangements, have been shown to correlate with the synthesis of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3; however, the significance of this rise in second messenger levels is not clear. We show here that wortmannin inhibits platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated production of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 in human fo...
