1	8647942	The cytoskeletal linking proteins, moesin and radixin, are upregulated by platelet-derived growth factor, but not basic fibroblast growth factor in experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
2	8647942	The expression of the two cytoskeletal linking proteins, moesin and radixin, was examined in experimental mesangial proliferative nephritis in rats (anti-Thy1 model).
3	8647942	Moesin and radixin mRNA and protein are constitutively expressed in all cell types of normal rat glomeruli, except podocytes.
4	8647942	In the anti-Thy1 model the expression of moesin and radixin was increased in infiltrating macrophages and in activated, alpha-smooth muscle actin-positive mesangial cells and was concentrated in the cellular extensions of mesangial cells in areas of glomerular remodelling.

15	10482316	Augmentation of kidney injury by basic fibroblast growth factor or platelet-derived growth factor does not induce progressive diabetic nephropathy in the Goto Kakizaki model of non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
16	10482316	Specifically, we examined whether the administration of either platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in sub-nephritogenic doses might lead to an aggravation of kidney structural changes associated with hyperglycemia, resulting in progressive kidney damage in the Goto Kakizaki (GK) rat, which is a genetic model of non-obese non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), in which progressive kidney disease does not develop spontaneously.
17	10482316	The results demonstrate that the administration of PDGF to hyperglycemic GK rats led to acute mesangial cell proliferation and activation as assessed by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine-positive nuclei and immunostaining for alpha-smooth muscle actin.
