90 2960669 Insulin and IGF-I induce phosphorylation, in intact cells, of their respective receptor beta subunits.
91 2960669 In addition, both insulin and IGF-I induced phosphorylation of an endogenous protein of molecular mass 185 kDa (pp185).
92 2960669 The rapidity and dose dependency of the phosphorylation of pp185 suggested that it may represent a common endogenous substrate for the insulin and IGF-I receptors in these neural-derived cells.
93 2960669 Phosphorylation was primarily on phosphoserine and phosphotyrosine residues. pp185 did not absorb to wheat germ agglutinin-agarose and was not stimulated by either epidermal growth factor or platelet-derived growth factor.
94 2960669 The finding of pp185 in these neural-related cells as well as in non-neural tissues suggests that it may represent a ubiquitous endogenous substrate for both the insulin and IGF-I receptor kinases.

101 3908487 Addition of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF; 50 ng/chamber) to the collagen-filled chambers caused an earlier influx of connective tissue cells, a marked increase in DNA synthesis, and a greater collagen deposition in the chamber during the first 2 wk after implantation.
102 3908487 After 3 wk, however, the levels of collagen were similar in PDGF-supplemented and control chambers.
103 3908487 Combinations of PDGF and insulin caused an even more rapid increase in collagen deposition.

111 7538809 The levels of mRNA coding for transforming growth factor-beta 1, tenascin, and laminin B1 increased 1.9-, 2.0-, and 1.7-fold, respectively, whereas platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B, alpha 1(IV) collagen, 72-kd collagenase, alpha-smooth muscle actin, and beta-actin mRNA remained stable in the diabetic mice.
112 7538809 There was no increase in cell number per glomerulus after the onset of diabetes, a finding consistent with stable PDGF-B and alpha-smooth muscle actin mRNA levels.
113 7538809 These findings provide evidence that increased glomerular transforming growth factor-beta 1, but not PDGF-B, mRNA is associated with the up-regulation of tenascin and laminin expression after advanced glycosylation endproduct accumulation, early after the onset of diabetes.

120 7544540 The amount of glomerular type IV collagen and tenascin but not laminin was increased by immunofluorescence microscopy. mRNA levels in microdissected glomeruli were measured by competetive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and corrected for cell number. alpha 1-Chain type IV collagen and tenascin mRNAs were increased 3.2-fold and 1.8-fold, whereas laminin B1 mRNA levels were not.

134 7752595 We found prominent mesangial cell proliferation at three days (4.34 +/- 2.24 PCNA + cells/glom vs. 1.6 +/- 0.74 in controls, P < 0.001) associated with increased alpha-actin expression.
135 7752595 PDGF B-chain mRNA was slightly increased at day one, and PDGF B-chain immunostaining was slightly increased at days one and six.
136 7752595 Insulin treatment prevented mesangial cell proliferation, actin expression, and macrophage infiltration, and normalized TGF-beta expression at 14 and 30 days.
137 7752595 These multiple cellular events preceded any detectable increases in glomerular gene expression or deposition of collagen I, IV or laminin.
138 7852393 Replacement of the TM domain with that of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, insertion of 3 amino acids, and substitution of Asp for Val938 or of Ala for either Gly933 or Pro934 had no effect on internalization.
139 7867886 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a powerful mitogen for many cell types, and is believed to play a major role in wound healing when released from platelets at sites of injury.
140 7867886 Neither plasma nor serum PDGF concentrations differed significantly between control subjects, insulin-dependent, and non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
141 7867886 However, limited joint mobility was not associated with elevated serum or plasma PDGF in insulin-dependent or non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
142 7957489 Cultured aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) of diabetic rats and rabbits, which overexpress platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor compared with controls, have a unique phenotype.
143 7983060 Demonstration that the p85 subunit binds directly to the COOH terminus of the insulin receptor in intact cells.
144 7983060 Phosphorylated IRS-1 binds to SH2 domains in the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidyl inositol (PI) 3-kinase, thereby stimulating the catalytic activity of PI 3-kinase.
145 7983060 For most growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (including receptors for epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor), the p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase binds directly to phosphorylated YXXM motifs contained in the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor itself.
146 7983060 Previous studies in cell-free systems have shown that the phosphorylated YHTM sequence (amino acid residues 1322-1325) in the COOH terminus of the insulin receptor has the ability to bind to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase, thereby activating the enzyme.
147 7983060 Subsequent to insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, a complex is formed that contains the insulin receptor and PI 3-kinase.
148 7983060 This complex can be immunoprecipitated by antibodies directed against either the insulin receptor or the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase.
149 7983060 The delta 43 mutant insulin receptor that lacks 43 amino acids at the COOH terminus does not bind p85.
150 7983060 Thus, by binding directly to p85, the phosphorylated YHTM motif in the COOH terminus of the insulin receptor contributes partially to mediating the effect of insulin to activate PI 3-kinase.

178 8195682 We have previously reported that the mRNA levels of endothelin (ET-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha), (TNF-alpha), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B chain, transforming growth factor (TGF-beta), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) all increased with age in diabetic rat glomeruli.
179 8195682 We have now assessed the effect of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril on the expression of the ET-1, TNF-alpha, PDGF-B, TGF-beta, and bFGF genes in 24-week-old rat glomeruli after streptozotocin injection.
180 8195682 Enalapril also attenuated the increases in ET-1 mRNA levels observed in the glomeruli of diabetic rats (0.5-fold compared with untreated diabetic rats at 24 weeks [p < 0.01]) but had no effect on increased mRNA levels of TNF-alpha, PDGF-B, TGF-beta, and bFGF.
181 8195682 We have previously reported that the mRNA levels of endothelin (ET-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha), (TNF-alpha), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B chain, transforming growth factor (TGF-beta), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) all increased with age in diabetic rat glomeruli.

187 8265565 This structural motif, without the 77-77 disulfide bond, defines also the common fold for a general family of growth factors, including the nerve growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor families.
188 8340422 Mitogen regulation of c-Raf-1 protein kinase activity toward mitogen-activated protein kinase-kinase.
189 8340422 The c-raf-1 protooncogene encodes a Ser/Thr protein kinase.
190 8340422 A mitogen-activated protein kinase-kinase (MAPKK) purified from bovine brain is phosphorylated and activated 4-9-fold in vitro by c-Raf-1 from mitogen-treated cells. c-Raf-1 protein kinase activity, measured by the phosphorylation of brain MAPKK substrate, is detectably activated within 1 min after addition of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to 3T3 cells, increasing more rapidly than the endogenous NIH 3T3 cell MAPKK activity. c-Raf-1 activation is also induced by insulin, phorbol ester, thrombin, and endothelin.
191 8340422 PDGF-, epidermal groth factor-, and insulin-stimulated 32P-c-Raf-1 yield very similar, complex tryptic 32P-peptide maps, wherein only 2 of 10 32P-peptides appear entirely de novo after growth factor addition.
192 8340422 Mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase-2 can phosphorylate c-Raf-1 in vitro on 4-6 tryptic 32P-peptides, all of which comigrate with tryptic 32P-peptides derived from c-Raf-1 labeled in situ.
193 8340422 Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation of c-Raf-1 in vitro, however, does not 1) generate 32P-peptides that comigrate with those that appear de novo after PDGF or insulin treatment in situ; 2) does not convert c-Raf-1 polypeptides to a slower mobility on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as is seen after PDGF or insulin; 3) does not alter c-Raf-1 kinase activity toward MAPKK.
194 8340422 Thus, based on overlapping site specificity, Erk-2 is a viable candidate to be among the PDGF-stimulated c-Raf-1 kinases.
195 8340422 Although PDGF/insulin-stimulated c-Raf-1 Ser/Thr phosphorylation may be necessary to sustain the active state, a role for mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase-2 phosphorylation in the initiation of c-Raf-1 activation is unlikely.
196 8440708 MTA had no effect on either epidermal growth factor- or platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated protein tyrosine phosphorylation in fibroblasts.

199 8476260 Endothelium-derived growth inhibitors include heparin (sulfates) and transforming growth factor beta 1, while basic fibroblast growth factors and platelet-derived growth factor and possibly endothelin promote proliferation.
200 8530404 Insulin-induced phosphorylation of insulin receptors and insulin receptor substrate-1 displaces phosphorylated platelet-derived growth factor receptors from binding sites on PI 3-kinase.
201 8530404 The p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase binds to phosphotyrosine residues of various phosphoproteins including the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, the insulin receptor, and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1).
202 8530404 Using NIH-3T3 cells overexpressing the human insulin receptor, we demonstrate that the p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase binds to phosphorylated PDGF receptor in cells incubated in the absence of insulin.
203 8530404 When insulin is added, p85 is released from phosphorylated PDGF receptors and binds to phosphorylated insulin receptors and insulin receptor substrate-1.
204 8530404 Moreover, insulin-induced dissociation of PDGF receptors from binding sites on PI 3-kinase requires a functional insulin receptor and is not prevented by vanadate treatment.
205 8530404 In contrast, insulin activation does not displace PDGF receptors from binding sites on Ras GTPase-activating protein.
206 8530404 This competition for binding to PI 3-kinase provides a mechanism for cross-talk among signaling pathways initiated by distinct peptide hormones and growth factors such as insulin and PDGF.
207 8530404 Insulin-induced phosphorylation of insulin receptors and insulin receptor substrate-1 displaces phosphorylated platelet-derived growth factor receptors from binding sites on PI 3-kinase.
208 8530404 The p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase binds to phosphotyrosine residues of various phosphoproteins including the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, the insulin receptor, and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1).
209 8530404 Using NIH-3T3 cells overexpressing the human insulin receptor, we demonstrate that the p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase binds to phosphorylated PDGF receptor in cells incubated in the absence of insulin.
210 8530404 When insulin is added, p85 is released from phosphorylated PDGF receptors and binds to phosphorylated insulin receptors and insulin receptor substrate-1.
211 8530404 Moreover, insulin-induced dissociation of PDGF receptors from binding sites on PI 3-kinase requires a functional insulin receptor and is not prevented by vanadate treatment.
212 8530404 In contrast, insulin activation does not displace PDGF receptors from binding sites on Ras GTPase-activating protein.
213 8530404 This competition for binding to PI 3-kinase provides a mechanism for cross-talk among signaling pathways initiated by distinct peptide hormones and growth factors such as insulin and PDGF.
214 8603774 These results indicated that PDGF-beta receptor expression was enhanced by high glucose through the activation of protein kinase C.

217 8603774 Furthermore, we observed similar effects of high glucose on both PDGF-beta receptor expression and protein kinase C activation in rat mesangial cells and human capillary endothelial cells.
218 8674900 At least three mitogens for SMCs, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor, and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF), are known to be produced by SMCs themselves and are considered to be the most potent growth factors in the progression of macroangiopathy as seen in diabetes.
219 8674900 HB-EGF, but not PDGF, is regulated at the transcriptional level by 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), a major and highly reactive intermediate in the glycation reaction.
220 8676507 We have identified sequences related to the Rep recognition sequence in the AAV P5 promoter in or near the c-sis proto-oncogene and the genes coding for a hepatocyte glucose transporter, alpha-A-crystallin, and carcinoma marker GA733-1.
221 8760171 We also examined whether certain VSMC growth factors, such as angiotensin II, platelet-derived growth factor, and transforming growth factor-beta, could also regulate the formation of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha.
222 8764141 TNF-alpha and IL-1 alpha induce mannose receptors and apoptosis in glomerular mesangial but not endothelial cells.
223 8764141 Mannose receptor mRNA was induced in a dose- and time-dependent manner in mesangial cells by interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) but not by platelet-derived growth factor-B or IL-6.
224 8764141 TNF-alpha and IL-1 alpha also induced apoptosis in mesangial cells.
225 8817104 The proliferation of human smooth muscle cells in the presence of 10% fetal calf serum or platelet derived growth factor-BB (10 ng/ml) was inhibited by type 1 collagen coated on the dishes.
226 8890924 The aim of this investigation was to assess the effects of angiotensin II and high glucose on the production of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in human endothelial cells.
227 8890924 Angiotensin II significantly increased PDGF in human endothelial cells and the effect was accompanied by a transient increase in cytosolic calcium.
228 8890924 The angiotensin II-induced intracellular Ca2+ increases, PDGF production were completely abolished by saralasin and neomycin, respectively.
229 8890924 We postulate that the increased production of PDGF by the vascular endothelium in response to high glucose and angiotensin II may participate in the development of the diabetic angiopathy.

236 8910437 We have reported previously that substitution of the transmembrane domain of the insulin receptor with that of the erbB-2 oncogene (IRerbV-->E) results in constitutive activation of the insulin receptor kinase.
237 8910437 Compared to NIH3T3 cells overexpressing wild-type insulin receptors (IRwt), cells overexpressing IRerbV-->E displayed a decrease in IRS-1 protein content by 55%, but basal tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was increased.
238 8910437 This resulted in an increased association of IRS-1 with the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, increased phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in anti-IRS-1 immunoprecipitates, constitutive activation of p70 S6 protein kinase, and an increased association of Grb2 with Shc in the absence of ligand.
239 8910437 However, Grb2 association with IRS-1 could not be detected in the basal or insulin-stimulated states, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity could not be stimulated by insulin, epidermal growth factor, or platelet-derived growth factor.
240 8910437 With decreased IRS-1 content, tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was decreased by over 75%, leading to decreased IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase and Grb2.
241 8910437 In addition, Grb2 association with Shc and activation of MAPK and the p70 S6 kinase were insensitive to insulin stimulation.
242 8910437 By contrast, association of Grb2 with Shc and activation of MAPK, but not the p70 S6 kinase, could be stimulated by epidermal growth factor or platelet-derived growth factor.
243 8910437 We have reported previously that substitution of the transmembrane domain of the insulin receptor with that of the erbB-2 oncogene (IRerbV-->E) results in constitutive activation of the insulin receptor kinase.
244 8910437 Compared to NIH3T3 cells overexpressing wild-type insulin receptors (IRwt), cells overexpressing IRerbV-->E displayed a decrease in IRS-1 protein content by 55%, but basal tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was increased.
245 8910437 This resulted in an increased association of IRS-1 with the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, increased phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in anti-IRS-1 immunoprecipitates, constitutive activation of p70 S6 protein kinase, and an increased association of Grb2 with Shc in the absence of ligand.
246 8910437 However, Grb2 association with IRS-1 could not be detected in the basal or insulin-stimulated states, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity could not be stimulated by insulin, epidermal growth factor, or platelet-derived growth factor.
247 8910437 With decreased IRS-1 content, tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was decreased by over 75%, leading to decreased IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase and Grb2.
248 8910437 In addition, Grb2 association with Shc and activation of MAPK and the p70 S6 kinase were insensitive to insulin stimulation.
249 8910437 By contrast, association of Grb2 with Shc and activation of MAPK, but not the p70 S6 kinase, could be stimulated by epidermal growth factor or platelet-derived growth factor.
250 8952619 Furthermore, the over-expression of the fibronectin receptor resulted in a suppressed chemotactic response of these cells to platelet-derived growth factor.
251 8956981 A polyclonal anti-platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB (0.21-3.3 micrograms/ml) inhibited (by 66.5 +/- 6.6%) the tube-forming activity of conditioned medium (CM) from M phi in diabetic GK rats, but not that in age-matched normal Wistar rats.
252 8971657 No changes were observed in mRNA expression for platelet-derived growth factor-AA, platelet-derived growth factor-BB, insulin-like growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta 1.
253 9006901 Splice variants of an insulin and growth factor receptor-binding protein with PH and SH2 domains.
254 9006901 cDNA clones encoding human (h) Grb7 and a previously unknown protein with high homology to hGrb-IR and mGrb10 (where m indicates mouse) were found by screening expressed sequence tag data bases. hGrb7 mRNA expression is greatest in pancreas and restricted to a few other tissues.
255 9006901 In cells, Grb-IRbeta/Grb10 protein translocates from cytosol to membrane upon insulin stimulation, most likely due to direct interactions with the insulin receptor.
256 9006901 Studies with mutated receptors and synthetic phosphopeptides show that the hGrb-IRbeta/Grb10 SH2 domain binds at least two sites in the insulin receptor: the kinase activation loop > the juxtamembrane site. hGrb-IRbeta/Grb10 also binds a 135-kDa phosphoprotein in unstimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes; binding is reduced upon insulin stimulation.
257 9006901 In addition, the c-Abl SH3 domain binds Grb-IR/Grb10, whereas Fyn, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p85, and Grb2 SH3 domains do not.
258 9006901 The site of c-Abl SH3 domain interaction is highly conserved within the Grb-IR/Grb10/Grb7/Grb14 family. hGrb-IRbeta/Grb10 also binds platelet-derived growth factor and epidermal growth factor receptors, suggesting a broader role in the signaling pathways of numerous receptors.
259 9006901 We conclude that hGrb-IRbeta/Grb10 is a widely expressed, PH and SH2 domain-containing, SH3 domain-binding protein that functions downstream from activated insulin and growth factor receptors.
260 9067916 Epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF) beta 1, TGF-beta 2 and TGF-beta 3, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and TNF-beta candidate genes were selected for analysis due to their putative roles in diabetic renal disease and chronic glomerulonephritis.
261 9067916 The interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL1RN) was also genotyped due to its reported association with diabetic nephropathy.
262 9111509 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B mRNA was high at 2 to 3 months (7.4-fold) and 6 to 9 months (9.5-fold) and was associated with an increased [3H]-thymidine-labeling index and glomerular cell number.
263 9111509 In slow progressors (bGH-m11 mice), the mRNA levels at 2 to 3 months were approximately one half that of rapid progressors (alpha 1(IV) collagen, 3.4-fold; laminin B1 1.9-fold; tenascin, 3-fold; TGF-beta 1, 2.2-fold).
264 9111509 At 6 to 9 months, alpha 1(IV) collagen, TGF-beta 1, and PDGF-B mRNA levels doubled, whereas tenascin and laminin B1 levels remained stable.
265 9111509 At 12 to 18 months, the alpha 1(IV) collagen, TGF-beta 1, and tenascin levels increased by nearly another 50%.
266 9111509 In slow progressors, alpha 1(IV) collagen and TGF-beta 1 mRNA levels continued to increase at a slow rate, but tenascin and laminin mRNA levels were only further increased at 12 to 18 months.
267 9111509 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B mRNA was high at 2 to 3 months (7.4-fold) and 6 to 9 months (9.5-fold) and was associated with an increased [3H]-thymidine-labeling index and glomerular cell number.
268 9111509 In slow progressors (bGH-m11 mice), the mRNA levels at 2 to 3 months were approximately one half that of rapid progressors (alpha 1(IV) collagen, 3.4-fold; laminin B1 1.9-fold; tenascin, 3-fold; TGF-beta 1, 2.2-fold).
269 9111509 At 6 to 9 months, alpha 1(IV) collagen, TGF-beta 1, and PDGF-B mRNA levels doubled, whereas tenascin and laminin B1 levels remained stable.
270 9111509 At 12 to 18 months, the alpha 1(IV) collagen, TGF-beta 1, and tenascin levels increased by nearly another 50%.
271 9111509 In slow progressors, alpha 1(IV) collagen and TGF-beta 1 mRNA levels continued to increase at a slow rate, but tenascin and laminin mRNA levels were only further increased at 12 to 18 months.
272 9112014 Smooth muscle cells in arteries of diabetic rats and rabbits have unique properties including the overexpression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor compared with controls.
273 9112014 Cultured aortic smooth muscle cells of diabetic rats expressed TGF-beta type II receptor about 8.7 times that of controls at the protein level and 5.7 times at the mRNA level, whereas the expression of the type I receptor did not differ between the two types of smooth muscle cells.
274 9112014 Furthermore, protein expression of fibronectin, and mRNA and protein of TGF-beta type II receptor were increased in the diabetic aorta compared with the control aorta in vivo, implying the importance of the TGF-beta-fibronectin pathway for the unique biology of smooth muscle cells in the diabetic artery.
275 9137900 Interest has focused on basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta) and more recently vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF).
276 9137900 Histologic studies have demonstrated the presence of growth factor proteins and receptors and/or their mRNA, mainly VEGF, PDGF, and bFGF, in preretinal membranes of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
277 9137900 Elevated intravitreal levels of IGF-1 and VEGF correlating with neovascular activity have been found in some patients.
278 9137900 Inhibition of IGF-1 by somatostatin analogs has produced unsatisfactory results.
279 9148380 The latter include angiotensin II, thromboxane, platelet-derived growth factor, endothelins, insulin-like growth factor-1, and transforming growth factor-beta.
280 9288548 In the present study the modulatory action of captopril on the angiotensin II (AngII), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced increase of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was investigated in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and cultured glomerular mesangial cells (MC) from rats using the fluorescent dye technique.
281 9336387 Increasing evidence suggests that cytokines such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1), IL-4, and IL-8 may play an important role in the chronic inflammation and cellular growth observed in cardiovascular diseases.
282 9336387 Furthermore, earlier studies have shown that vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth factors such as angiotensin II and platelet-derived growth factor can increase LO activity and expression in VSMCs.
283 9336387 In the present study, we have examined whether vasoactive and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-4, and IL-8 can modulate 12-LO activity and expression in porcine VSMCs and also whether they have growth-promoting effects in these cells.
284 9407457 Urinary excretion of TGF-beta 1, PDGF-BB and fibronectin in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients.
285 9407457 We studied the urinary excretion of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF) and fibronectin (FN) in 104 patients (52 normoalbuminuric, 24 microalbuminuric, and 28 with overt diabetic nephropathy) with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) of a long duration and in 30 non-diabetic controls.
286 9407457 IDDM patients had higher urinary excretion of TGF-beta 1, PDGF and FN compared to controls.
287 9407457 Urinary excretion of TGF-beta 1 and PDGF was elevated in all IDDM subgroups, while FN excretion was significantly increased only in patients with macroalbuminuria.
288 9407457 Urinary excretion of TGF-beta 1 and FN did not differ between normoalbuminuric IDDM patients with long duration of diabetes, a group at low risk of ever developing diabetic nephropathy, and IDDM patients with incipient or overt diabetic nephropathy.
289 9407457 In conclusion, although longitudinal follow-up studies are needed to further clarify the issue, our results in long-standing IDDM do not support a hypothesis of urinary excretion of TGF-beta 1, PDGF or FN to predict development of diabetic nephropathy.
290 9422724 To test this, binding studies were conducted with tandem domains from the five signaling enzymes: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p85, ZAP-70, Syk, SHP-2, and phospholipase C-gamma1.
291 9422724 Bisphosphorylated TAMs (tyrosine-based activation motifs) were derived from biologically relevant sites in platelet-derived growth factor, T cell, B cell, and high affinity IgE receptors and the receptor substrates IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate-1) and SHPS-1/SIRP.
292 9525704 The factors that mediate increased renal TGF-beta activity involve hyperglycemia per se and the intermediary action of other potent mediators such as angiotensin II, thromboxane, endothelins, and platelet-derived growth factor.
293 9526909 Diabetes prevents periodontitis-induced increases in gingival platelet derived growth factor-B and interleukin 1-beta in a rat model.
294 9526909 Diabetes alone did not alter the gingival cytokine profile for platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B), interleukin 1-beta (IL-1beta), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).
295 9526909 Periodontitis alone demonstrated a significant increase (P < 0.05) in levels of PDGF-B and IL-1beta.
296 9526909 Thus, diabetes-induced metabolic alterations do not affect gingival cytokine levels per se; however, they do alter the normal host response to periodontitis through blockage of periodontitis-induced increases in PDGF-B and IL-1beta.

307 9526909 Periodontitis alone demonstrated a significant increase (P < 0.05) in levels of PDGF-B and IL-1beta.
308 9526909 Thus, diabetes-induced metabolic alterations do not affect gingival cytokine levels per se; however, they do alter the normal host response to periodontitis through blockage of periodontitis-induced increases in PDGF-B and IL-1beta.
309 9593635 Some of these effects occur in part through induction of cytokines such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which is expressed by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
310 9593725 Association of the insulin receptor with phospholipase C-gamma (PLCgamma) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes suggests a role for PLCgamma in metabolic signaling by insulin.
311 9593725 Phospholipase C-gamma (PLCgamma) is the isozyme of PLC phosphorylated by multiple tyrosine kinases including epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, nerve growth factor receptors, and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases.
312 9593725 To determine the functional significance of the interaction of PLCgamma and the IR, we used a specific inhibitor of PLC, U73122, or microinjection of SH2 domain glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins derived from PLCgamma to block insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation.
313 9593725 U73122 selectively inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase, leaving the Akt and p70 S6 kinase pathways unperturbed.
314 9625357 Growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, nerve growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I act as survival factors and inhibit apoptosis in a number of cell types such as haematopoietic cells, preovulatory follicles, the mammary gland, phaeochromocytoma cells and neurones.
315 9655183 Here, we report that in baboon aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs), vanadate induced p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity.
316 9655183 Although activation of p42/p44MAPK/MAPKK is generally thought to be necessary for proliferation, in SMCs, vanadate did not promote DNA synthesis and inhibited thymidine incorporation stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB in a dose dependent fashion (IC50: 30 microM).
317 9655183 The addition of PDGF-BB further activated p42/p44MAPK/MAPKK in the presence of vanadate and substantially increased vanadate toxicity.
318 9655183 We conclude from these observations that activation of the p42/p44MAPK/MAPKK signalling module contributes to the cytotoxic effects induced by vanadate.
319 9784857 Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), are critically involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals across the plasma membrane and therefore in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation.
320 9784857 EGFR and PDGFR are selectively inhibited by analogues of the marine natural product aeroplysinin.
321 9812917 Atrial natriuretic factor 1-28 (ANF) and C-type natriuretic factor-22 (CNP) reduced angiotensin II (Ang II)- and platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated PAI-1 mRNA expression in rat aortic smooth muscle cells by 50% to 70%, with corresponding reductions in PAI-1 protein release.
322 9812917 Treatment of human aortic smooth muscle cells with CNP similarly inhibited both platelet-derived growth factor-induced PAI-1 mRNA expression and PAI-1 protein release by 50%.
323 9812917 Dose-response studies revealed that the inhibitory effects of CNP and ANF on PAI-1 expression were concentration dependent, with IC50s of approximately 1 nmol/L for both natriuretic peptides.
324 9812917 Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 expression was also inhibited by the nitric oxide donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine.
325 9812917 The membrane-permeant cGMP analogue 8-Br-cGMP reduced Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 expression by 60%, and an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase (1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4, 3-a]quinoxalin-1-one) significantly impaired the inhibitory effects of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine on Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 expression.
326 9812917 Atrial natriuretic factor 1-28 (ANF) and C-type natriuretic factor-22 (CNP) reduced angiotensin II (Ang II)- and platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated PAI-1 mRNA expression in rat aortic smooth muscle cells by 50% to 70%, with corresponding reductions in PAI-1 protein release.
327 9812917 Treatment of human aortic smooth muscle cells with CNP similarly inhibited both platelet-derived growth factor-induced PAI-1 mRNA expression and PAI-1 protein release by 50%.
328 9812917 Dose-response studies revealed that the inhibitory effects of CNP and ANF on PAI-1 expression were concentration dependent, with IC50s of approximately 1 nmol/L for both natriuretic peptides.
329 9812917 Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 expression was also inhibited by the nitric oxide donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine.
330 9812917 The membrane-permeant cGMP analogue 8-Br-cGMP reduced Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 expression by 60%, and an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase (1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4, 3-a]quinoxalin-1-one) significantly impaired the inhibitory effects of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine on Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 expression.
331 9819414 Sorting nexin 1 (SNX1) is a protein that binds to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and is proposed to play a role in directing EGF receptors to lysosomes for degradation (R.
332 9819414 We have obtained full-length cDNAs and deduced the amino acid sequences of three novel homologous proteins, which were denoted human sorting nexins (SNX2, SNX3, and SNX4).
333 9819414 Human SNX1 (522 amino acids), SNX1A (457 amino acids), SNX2 (519 amino acids), SNX3 (162 amino acids), and SNX4 (450 amino acids) are part of a larger family of hydrophilic molecules including proteins identified in Caenorhabditis elegans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
334 9819414 When expressed in COS7 cells, epitope-tagged sorting nexins SNX1, SNX1A, SNX2, and SNX4 coimmunoprecipitated with receptor tyrosine kinases for EGF, platelet-derived growth factor, and insulin.
335 9819414 Interestingly, endogenous COS7 transferrin receptors associated exclusively with SNX1 and SNX1A, while SNX3 was not found to associate with any of the receptors studied.
336 9914941 Bone contains several growth factors, including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and basic and acidic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF and aFGF).
337 9916172 Expression of mRNA for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor A chain, and insulin-like growth factor-1 was reduced >83% in subtherapeutic compared with therapeutic Dermagraft.
338 9916172 Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and VEGF protein secretion, determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and angiogenic activity also depended on therapeutic range.
339 9931102 TNF-alpha-induced migration of vascular smooth muscle cells is MAPK dependent.
340 9931102 Because activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is known to be required in platelet-derived growth factor-directed and angiotensin II-directed migration of these cells, we used the MAPK-inhibitor PD98059 to determine if chemotactic signaling by TNF-alpha involves the MAPK pathway as well.
341 9931102 TNF-alpha (100 U/mL) transiently activated MAPK with a maximal induction 10 minutes after stimulation that returned to baseline levels by 2 hours after treatment.
342 9931102 PD98059 also blocked TNF-alpha-stimulated MAPK activation in a concentration-dependent manner, which is consistent with its inhibition of TNF-alpha-directed migration.
343 9931102 To identify which TNF-alpha receptor is involved in TNF-alpha-induced MAPK activation, antibodies against the p55 TNF-alpha receptor-1 (TNF-R1) and the p75 TNF-alpha receptor-2 (TNF-R2) were used.
344 9931102 VSMC express both receptors, but TNF-alpha-induced MAPK activation was inhibited only by the TNF-R1 antibody.
345 9931102 Thiazolidinediones are known to inhibit TNF-alpha signaling in adipose tissue and attenuate platelet-derived growth factor-directed and angiotensin II-directed migration in VSMC.
346 9931102 Both TRO and RSG inhibited migration, but neither attenuated TNF-alpha-induced MAPK activation, indicating that their antimigration activity was exerted downstream of MAPK.
347 9931102 These experiments provide the first evidence that early activation of MAPK is a crucial event in TNF-alpha-mediated signal transduction leading to VSMC migration.
348 9931102 Moreover, inhibition of TNF-alpha-directed migration by the insulin sensitizers TRO and RSG underscores their potential as vasculoprotective agents.
349 9931102 TNF-alpha-induced migration of vascular smooth muscle cells is MAPK dependent.
350 9931102 Because activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is known to be required in platelet-derived growth factor-directed and angiotensin II-directed migration of these cells, we used the MAPK-inhibitor PD98059 to determine if chemotactic signaling by TNF-alpha involves the MAPK pathway as well.
351 9931102 TNF-alpha (100 U/mL) transiently activated MAPK with a maximal induction 10 minutes after stimulation that returned to baseline levels by 2 hours after treatment.
352 9931102 PD98059 also blocked TNF-alpha-stimulated MAPK activation in a concentration-dependent manner, which is consistent with its inhibition of TNF-alpha-directed migration.
353 9931102 To identify which TNF-alpha receptor is involved in TNF-alpha-induced MAPK activation, antibodies against the p55 TNF-alpha receptor-1 (TNF-R1) and the p75 TNF-alpha receptor-2 (TNF-R2) were used.
354 9931102 VSMC express both receptors, but TNF-alpha-induced MAPK activation was inhibited only by the TNF-R1 antibody.
355 9931102 Thiazolidinediones are known to inhibit TNF-alpha signaling in adipose tissue and attenuate platelet-derived growth factor-directed and angiotensin II-directed migration in VSMC.
356 9931102 Both TRO and RSG inhibited migration, but neither attenuated TNF-alpha-induced MAPK activation, indicating that their antimigration activity was exerted downstream of MAPK.
357 9931102 These experiments provide the first evidence that early activation of MAPK is a crucial event in TNF-alpha-mediated signal transduction leading to VSMC migration.
358 9931102 Moreover, inhibition of TNF-alpha-directed migration by the insulin sensitizers TRO and RSG underscores their potential as vasculoprotective agents.
359 10102683 Activation of protein kinase B and induction of adipogenesis by insulin in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes: contribution of phosphoinositide-3,4,5-trisphosphate versus phosphoinositide-3,4-bisphosphate.
360 10102683 PKB was also activated by insulin, in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
361 10102683 Wortmannin and LY294002, inhibitors of PI 3-kinase, reduced insulin-dependent activation of PKB, whereas rapamycin, an inhibitor of p70 S6 kinase, had no effect.
362 10102683 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which is not adipogenic, stimulated the production of both 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositide species, and this was associated with a greater activation of PKB than that observed with insulin.
363 10102683 A low dose of PDGF (1 ng/ml), which increased the production of only PI(3,4,5)P3 and mirrored the insulin effect, was unable to induce adipocyte differentiation.
364 10102683 In summary, insulin and PDGF differ with respect to the accumulation of 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositides and to PKB activation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, but these responses do not themselves explain why insulin, but not PDGF, is adipogenic.
365 10102704 Treatment of the cells with cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin-1beta, or with growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-I, and epidermal growth factor, all led to NF-kappaB activation in cells cultured in both NG and HG.
366 10102704 The augmented TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation in HG was associated with increased TNF-alpha-mediated transcriptional activation of the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 promoter.
367 10102704 HG-induced NF-kappaB activation was inhibited by a protein kinase C inhibitor, calphostin C.
368 10318852 Membrane-targeted phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase mimics insulin actions and induces a state of cellular insulin resistance.
369 10318852 Even at this submaximal PI 3-kinase activity, p110(CAAX) fully stimulated p70 S6 kinase, Akt, 2-deoxyglucose uptake, and Ras, whereas, p110(WT) had little or no effect on these downstream effects.
370 10318852 Interestingly p110(CAAX) did not activate MAP kinase, despite its stimulation of p21(ras).
371 10318852 Surprisingly, p110(CAAX) did not increase basal glycogen synthase activity, and inhibited insulin stimulated activity, indicative of cellular resistance to this action of insulin. p110(CAAX) also inhibited insulin stimulated, but not platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation, demonstrating that the p110(CAAX) induced inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase and insulin signaling is specific, and not due to some toxic or nonspecific effect on the cells.
372 10318852 Moreover, p110(CAAX) stimulated IRS-1 Ser/Thr phosphorylation, and inhibited IRS-1 associated PI 3-kinase activity, without affecting insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting that it may play an important role as a negative regulator for insulin signaling.
373 10320053 It has been known for some time that down-regulation and reduced kinase activity of the insulin receptor play a role in insulin resistance; however, it has recently emerged that defects in the intracellular responses to insulin are also very important.
374 10320053 We found that the insulin-stimulated activation of MAP kinase was defective in obese, insulin-resistant mice.
375 10320053 Similarly, we investigated insulin-stimulated PI3-kinase activation in the isolated soleus muscle of lean and obese mice, and found a marked reduction in the PI3-kinase activation of obese animals.
376 10320053 The magnitude of the effect was greater than the reduction in insulin receptor activation, suggesting that impairment of PI3-kinase activation is a very important element in the development of insulin resistance in obese mice.
377 10320053 In keeping with this, we found that the defect in PI3-kinase activation developed in young obese mice before the emergence of overt insulin resistance.
378 10320053 In adipocytes from young obese mice in which insulin resistance had not yet developed, we found that there were already marked defects in IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation.
379 10320053 Such a process could contribute to the defective IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in insulin-resistant animals.
380 10320053 We found that brief exposure of 3T3-L1 adipocytes to platelet-derived growth factor led to IRS-1 serine/threonine phosphorylation through a PI3-kinase-dependent pathway, and that this prevented phosphorylation of the tyrosine residues of IRS-1.
381 10320053 Such a mechanism, induced by growth factors, TNF-alpha or some other agent, may play an important role in the development of insulin resistance in obese mice.
382 10328554 Tetrandrine and KS-1-4, but not KS-1-1, inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor- and platelet-derived growth factor-BB-stimulated angiogenesis in normal choroids.
383 10382275 We also show that serum lipids cause a generalized decrease in macrophage cytokine production using interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) as marker cytokines.
384 10384364 This article reports the author's experience with treatment of chronic lower extremity ulcers of mixed etiologies with recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor--BB [rhPDGF-BB, REGRANEX (becaplermin) Gel 0.01%] in a patient with multiple risk factors including long-standing insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes.
385 10410831 The authors review the potential roles of some important receptors, such as the insulin receptor, beta 3-adrenergic receptor, leptin receptor and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, in the pathogenesis of human type 2 diabetes.
386 10410831 They emphasize the significance of effective glycemic control by examining the evidence that strongly suggests the association of chronic complications of type 2 diabetes with abnormalities of receptors for the advanced glycation end products, transforming growth factor-beta and platelet-derived growth factor.
387 10432377 Other factors such as hemodynamic forces, protein glycation products, and several mediators (for example, angiotensin II, endothelin-1, thromboxane, and platelet-derived growth factor) may further amplify the synthesis of TGF-beta and/or the expression of its receptors in the diabetic state.
388 10432377 The molecular mechanism arresting mesangial cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle is the induction of cyclin-dependent kinase (CdK) inhibitors such as p27Kip1 and p21, which bind to and inactivate cyclin-CdK complexes responsible for G1-phase exit.
389 10432377 High-glucose-induced activation of protein kinase C and stimulated TGF-beta expression appear to be essential for stimulated expression of p27Kip1.
390 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.
391 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.
392 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.
393 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.
394 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.
395 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.
396 10657238 Sequence analysis of the proximal promoter region revealed several potential regulatory elements; these include the recognition elements of Sp1, Nkx, CP2, E2A, SIF (SIS-inducible factor), TFII-I and cAMP-responsive element (CRE), but no TATA sequences.
397 10657238 Furthermore, electrophoretic mobility-shift assays demonstrated that Sp3 but not other Sp (specificity protein) family members binds to three of the Sp1 sites.
398 10657238 Our present study suggests that Sp3 is involved in the basal transcriptional activation of the mStaf gene.
399 10712383 We have previously reported that high glucose stimulates osteopontin (OPN) expression through protein kinase C-dependent pathways as well as hexosamine pathways in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
400 10712383 We also found that OPN stimulated the migration and enhanced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated DNA synthesis of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
401 10712383 OPN and PDGF synergistically activated focal adhesion kinase as well as extracellular signal-regulated kinase; this finding seems to explain the OPN-induced enhancement of PDGF-mediated DNA synthesis.
402 10729385 Medial SMC in OLETF rats expressed more platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor and fibronectin at the protein level than those from control, Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats, not only after but also before the onset of diabetes mellitus.
403 10729385 In in vitro culture system, fibronectin synthesis was stimulated by transforming growth factor-beta1(TGF-beta1) in SMC from OLETF rats, but not in those from LETO rats, suggesting that SMC from OLETF rats respond to TGF-beta1.
404 10751215 In experimental diabetic glomerular sclerosis, there is translocation of high-molecular-weight growth factors, namely, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, from plasma into tubular fluid, both of which act on tubular cells through apical membrane receptors.
405 10751215 In the present studies, the hypothesis is examined that ultrafiltered HGF and TGF-beta induce increased expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins directly in tubular cells, or induce increased expression of cytokines that may act on interstitial myofibroblasts.
406 10751215 Incubation of cultured tubular cells with recombinant human (rh) TGF-beta modestly raises expression of collagen type III, but rhHGF dose dependently blocks expression of this ECM protein.
407 10751215 Both growth factors raise fibronectin expression up to fourfold and increase expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB up to sixfold, but not of fibroblast growth factor-2.
408 10751215 In the presence of neutralizing antibodies that block actions of HGF and TGF-beta, diabetic rat glomerular ultrafiltrate fails to increase tubular cell PDGF-BB expression.
409 10751215 The findings provide evidence for ultrafiltered HGF and TGF-beta to contribute to interstitial accumulation of ECM proteins by direct effects on tubular cells as well as indirect mechanisms, via PDGF-BB and its action on myofibroblasts.
410 10775572 We recently demonstrated that alpha(v)beta(3) integrins are involved in the mechanisms of angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced DNA synthesis and collagen gel contractions in rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFBs), cellular mechanisms that are relevant for cardiac remodeling.
411 10775572 The alpha(v)beta(3) integrin receptor expression was significantly increased (P<0.05) at the mRNA level after treatment with Ang II, transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) for 8 and 16 hours.
412 10775572 The present study demonstrates that the expression of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is augmented by Ang II, PDGF, and TGF-beta(1) in neonatal CFBs.
413 10801895 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily that is activated by binding certain fatty acids, eicosanoids, and insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinediones (TZD).
414 10801895 Flow cytometry demonstrated that both TRO and another TZD, rosiglitazone, prevented G(1) --> S progression induced by platelet-derived growth factor and insulin.
415 10801895 TRO and rosiglitazone attenuated both the mitogen-induced degradation of p27(kip1) and the mitogenic induction of p21(cip1). 15d-PGJ(2) and PD98059 inhibited both the degradation of p27(kip1) and the induction of cyclin D1 in response to mitogens.
416 10802145 To examine the role of PDGF in the development of diabetic nephropathy, we conducted immunohistochemical analysis for PDGF B-chain (PDGF-B) and PDGF beta-receptor (PDGFR-beta) in the glomeruli of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
417 10802145 The immunostaining of mirror sections revealed the existence of PDGF-B or PDGFR-beta not only in mesangial cells but also in visceral epithelial cells.
418 10802145 To examine the role of PDGF in the development of diabetic nephropathy, we conducted immunohistochemical analysis for PDGF B-chain (PDGF-B) and PDGF beta-receptor (PDGFR-beta) in the glomeruli of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
419 10802145 The immunostaining of mirror sections revealed the existence of PDGF-B or PDGFR-beta not only in mesangial cells but also in visceral epithelial cells.
420 10802150 IDL isolated from diabetics also increased not only platelet-derived growth factor B-chain, but also intercellular adhesion molecule-1 mRNA contents.
421 10807736 Flow cytometry demonstrated that Dox prevents mitogen-induced G(1)-->S progression of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) in a dose-dependent manner, with a maximal reduction of S-phase transition by 88+/-10.5% in 20 ng/mL platelet-derived growth factor and 1 micromol/L insulin (P+I)-stimulated cells (P<0.01 for 10 micromol/L Dox versus P+I alone) and 52+/-18.7% for 10% FBS-induced mitogenesis (P<0.05 for 10 micromol/L Dox versus 10% FBS alone).
422 10853682 Vascular endothelial growth factor- and platelet-derived growth factor-angiogenesis depressed but fetal bovine serum-angiogenesis enhanced choroidal tissue cultures of streptozotocin-diabetic Wistar and GK rats.
423 10887940 By flow cytometric cell cycle analysis, VEGF showed quite different transition patterns from those of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in 5-day (at the progression phase) cultured normal rat EC even though VEGF belongs to the PDGF family.
424 10887940 VEGF promoted cell cycle transition from the G0 to the G1 phase at 3 ng/ml, but at 30 ng/ml, VEGF weakly inhibited it compared with the effect of PDGF.
425 10967116 We recently described the identification of a non-peptidyl fungal metabolite (l-783,281, compound 1), which induced activation of human insulin receptor (IR) tyrosine kinase and mediated insulin-like effects in cells, as well as decreased blood glucose levels in murine models of Type 2 diabetes (Zhang, B., Salituro, G., Szalkowski, D., Li, Z., Zhang, Y., Royo, I., Vilella, D., Diez, M.
426 10967116 Here we report the characterization of an active analog (compound 2) with enhanced IR kinase activation potency and selectivity over related receptors (insulin-like growth factor I receptor, epidermal growth factor receptor, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor).
427 10997698 Regulation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors by transforming growth factor-beta: implications for vascular dysfunction in diabetes.
428 10997698 Earlier studies have demonstrated that vascular smooth muscle cells and mesangial cells pretreated with TGF-beta have impaired calcium mobilization to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) generating agonists, such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and Angiotensin I1 (Ang II).
429 10997698 We postulated that this action of TGF-beta may be caused by regulation of the key intracellular calcium channel, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R).
430 10997698 Short-term exposure of mesangial cells to TGF-beta (15-60 min) leads to phosphorylation of the type I IP3R at specific serine residues.
431 10997698 Long-term exposure of mesangial cells to TGF-beta (24 hours) leads to down-regulation of protein levels of both types I and III IP3Rs as assessed by Western blot and confocal analysis.
432 10997698 We conclude that the vascular dysfunction of diabetes leading to glomerular hypertrophy is mediated, in part, by TGF-beta-induced regulation of IP3Rs.
433 11081306 [Cytokines in the vitreous fluid of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy--vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor are elevated in proliferative diabetic retinopathy].
434 11085978 We have identified a novel 342-amino acid residue sorting nexin, SNX15, and a 252-amino acid splice variant, SNX15A.
435 11085978 The phox homology domain of SNX15 is required for its membrane association and for association with the platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
436 11085978 We did not detect association of SNX15 with receptors for epidermal growth factor or insulin.
437 11085978 However, overexpression of SNX15 led to a decrease in the processing of insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors to their mature subunits.
438 11085978 Immunofluorescence studies showed that SNX15 overexpression resulted in mislocalization of furin, the endoprotease responsible for cleavage of insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors.
439 11180921 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta), platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) in cytoplasm were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).
440 11180921 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was standardized by the DNA content of the cells.
441 11195866 Transfer of platelet-derived growth factor-BB gene by gene gun increases contraction of collagen lattice by fibroblasts in diabetic and non-diabetic human skin.
442 11195866 We have used an in vitro model of wound contraction, the fibroblast-populated collagen lattice, to examine the effect of platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) and PDGF-BB gene transfer by gene gun on the contraction of lattices composed of either diabetic or non-diabetic human fibroblasts.
443 11195866 Transfer of platelet-derived growth factor-BB gene by gene gun increases contraction of collagen lattice by fibroblasts in diabetic and non-diabetic human skin.
444 11195866 We have used an in vitro model of wound contraction, the fibroblast-populated collagen lattice, to examine the effect of platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) and PDGF-BB gene transfer by gene gun on the contraction of lattices composed of either diabetic or non-diabetic human fibroblasts.
445 11230363 P:eroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) is a novel nuclear receptor, which enhances insulin-mediated glucose uptake.
446 11230363 PPARgamma ligands rosiglitazone (1 to 10 micromol/L) and troglitazone (1 to 10 micromol/L) inhibited platelet-derived growth factor-induced DNA synthesis, measured as bromodeoxyuridine incorporation (P<0.01).
447 11230363 These data suggest that PPARgamma activation may directly attenuate diabetic glomerular disease, possibly by inhibiting mesangial growth, which occurs early in the process of diabetic nephropathy, or by inhibiting PAI-1 expression.
448 11279102 Sorting nexin 6, a novel SNX, interacts with the transforming growth factor-beta family of receptor serine-threonine kinases.
449 11279102 Human SNX1, -2, and -4 have been proposed to play a role in receptor trafficking and have been shown to bind to several receptor tyrosine kinases, including receptors for epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and insulin as well as the long form of the leptin receptor, a glycoprotein 130-associated receptor.
450 11279102 We now describe a novel member of this family, SNX6, which interacts with members of the transforming growth factor-beta family of receptor serine-threonine kinases.
451 11279102 Of the type II receptors, SNX6 was found to interact strongly with ActRIIB and more moderately with wild type and kinase-defective mutants of TbetaRII.
452 11279102 Conversely, SNX6 behaved similarly to the other SNX proteins in its interactions with receptor tyrosine kinases.
453 11289052 Furthermore, the mitogenic actions of platelet-derived growth factor, IGF-I, or serum are not enhanced by high glucose.
454 11297552 Platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGF-C), a novel growth factor that binds to PDGF alpha and beta receptor.
455 11297552 We have characterized platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) C, a novel growth factor belonging to the PDGF family.
456 11297552 PDGF-C is a multidomain protein with the N-terminal region homologous to the extracellular CUB domain of neuropilin-1, and the C-terminal region consists of a growth factor domain (GFD) with homology to vascular endothelial growth factor (25%) and PDGF A-chain (23%).
457 11297552 Competition binding and immunoprecipitation studies on cells bearing both PDGF alpha and beta receptors reveal a high affinity binding of recombinant GFD (PDGF-CC) to PDGF receptor-alpha homodimers and PDGF receptor-alpha/beta heterodimers.
458 11297552 Together, these studies describe a third member of the PDGF family (PDGF-C) as a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin in in vitro and in vivo systems with a binding pattern similar to PDGF-AB.
459 11297552 Platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGF-C), a novel growth factor that binds to PDGF alpha and beta receptor.
460 11297552 We have characterized platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) C, a novel growth factor belonging to the PDGF family.
461 11297552 PDGF-C is a multidomain protein with the N-terminal region homologous to the extracellular CUB domain of neuropilin-1, and the C-terminal region consists of a growth factor domain (GFD) with homology to vascular endothelial growth factor (25%) and PDGF A-chain (23%).
462 11297552 Competition binding and immunoprecipitation studies on cells bearing both PDGF alpha and beta receptors reveal a high affinity binding of recombinant GFD (PDGF-CC) to PDGF receptor-alpha homodimers and PDGF receptor-alpha/beta heterodimers.
463 11297552 Together, these studies describe a third member of the PDGF family (PDGF-C) as a potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin in in vitro and in vivo systems with a binding pattern similar to PDGF-AB.
464 11348869 The RAR ligands all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) and ethyl-p-[(E)-2-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)-l-propenyl]-benzoic acid (TTNPB); a pan-RXR/RAR agonist, 9-cis-retinoic acid (9cRA); and the RXR-selective ligand AGN4204 all inhibited DNA synthesis stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor and insulin (IC(50): TTNPB 63 nmol/L, atRA 120 nmol/L, AGN4204 460 nmol/L, 9cRA 1.5 micromol/L).
465 11348869 All retinoids attenuated mitogen-induced downregulation of CDKI p27(Kip1), a major negative regulator of Rb phosphorylation, partly through stabilizing p27(Kip1) turnover.
466 11348869 These data demonstrate that retinoids have antiproliferative activity by modulating G(1) --> S cell cycle regulators in human CASMCs through inhibition of Rb phosphorylation and elevation of p27(Kip1) levels.
467 11375352 Hyperglycemia potentiated both platelet aggregation and the subsequent release of platelet-derived growth factor AB induced by a nonaggregating subthreshold concentration of collagen, which were also completely inhibited by TTFA or CCCP.
468 11375352 Furthermore, hyperglycemia was found to inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activity and increase phosphorylation of the tyrosine kinase Syk in platelets exposed to collagen.
469 11375352 Hyperglycemia-induced PTP inhibition and Syk phosphorylation were found to be completely prevented by TTFA, CCCP, or Mn(III)tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin, a stable cell-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic.
470 11402048 Insulin-stimulated activation of eNOS is independent of Ca2+ but requires phosphorylation by Akt at Ser(1179).
471 11402048 Vasodilator actions of insulin are mediated by activation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) and subsequent production of NO.
472 11402048 Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Akt play important roles in insulin-signaling pathways leading to production of NO in vascular endothelium.
473 11402048 Here we dissected mechanisms whereby insulin activates eNOS by using the fluorescent dye DAF-2 to directly measure NO production in single cells.
474 11402048 Insulin caused a rapid increase in intracellular NO in NIH-3T3(IR) cells transiently transfected with eNOS.
475 11402048 However, cells expressing the eNOS-S1179A mutant (disrupted Akt phosphorylation site) did not produce detectable NO in response to insulin, whereas the response to LPA was similar to that observed in cells expressing wild-type eNOS.
476 11402048 Moreover, production of NO in response to insulin was blocked by coexpression of an inhibitory mutant of Akt, whereas the response to LPA was unaffected.
477 11402048 Phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser(1179) was observed only in response to treatment with insulin, but not with LPA.
478 11402048 Interestingly, platelet-derived growth factor treatment of cells activated Akt but not eNOS.
479 11402048 We conclude that insulin regulates eNOS activity using a Ca(2+)-independent mechanism requiring phosphorylation of eNOS by Akt.
480 11415460 We have previously shown that unsaturated fatty acids amplify platelet-derived-growth-factor (PDGF)-induced protein kinase C (PKC) activation in vascular smooth-muscle cells (VSMCs).
481 11415460 Fractionation of VSMC extracts demonstrated that the DGK alpha isoform was the major DGK activity present.
482 11415460 PDGF markedly increased the DGK activity of cultured cells.
483 11415460 An inhibitor selective for the DGK alpha isoform, R59949 [3-[2-[4-(bis-(4-fluorophenyl)methylene]piperidin-1-yl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-4(1H)-quinazolinone], abolished the growth-factor-induced increase in DGK activity, but had little effect on basal activity.
484 11415460 PDGF thus selectively activates DGKalpha.
485 11415460 Epidermal growth factor and alpha-thrombin stimulated total DGK activity similarly to PDGF.
486 11415460 Activation by epidermal growth factor was sensitive to R59949, again suggesting involvement of DGKalpha.
487 11440895 TZDs inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell growth independently of the cyclin kinase inhibitors p21 and p27.
488 11440895 Because of reports that the cyclin kinase inhibitors (CKIs) p21(Waf1/Cip1) and p27(Kip1) can exhibit both growth-inhibitory and growth-permissive effects in VSM cells, we asked whether alterations in these cell cycle regulatory proteins are the mechanism by which the TZDs inhibit VSM cell growth.
489 11440895 We show that platelet-derived growth factor-BB increases p21 and p27 and that this increase is attenuated by TZDs.
490 11440895 Surprisingly, when VSM cells were transfected with antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to p21 and p27, inhibition of DNA synthesis by TZDs occurred to the same degree as in control cells.
491 11446768 Total RNA was isolated from normal and diseased corneas. cDNA was synthesized from individual corneas and semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed with primers to IL-1alpha, 1IL-8, PDGF-B, BMP-2, BMP-4, IGF-I, TGF-beta2, FGF-2, and VEGF.
492 11446768 Antibodies to IGF-I, BMP-2, VEGF and TGF-beta2 were used for immunohistochemistry.
493 11446768 IGF-I and BMP-4 RNA levels were increased in PBK/ABK.
494 11446768 In contrast, PBK/ABK corneas had specific significant elevations of BMP-4 and IGF-I.
495 11457715 Regulation of ANP clearance receptors by EGF in mesangial cells from NOD mice.
496 11457715 Mesangial cells from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice (D-NOD) that develop diabetes at 2-4 mo express an increased density of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) clearance receptors [natriuretic peptide C receptor (NPR-C)] and produce less GMP in response to ANP than their nondiabetic counterparts (ND-NOD).
497 11457715 Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and heparin-binding (HB)-EGF, but not platelet-derived growth factor or insulin-like growth factor I, inhibited (125)I-ANP binding to ND-NOD and D-NOD mesangial cells, particularly in the latter.
498 11457715 The EGF effect depended on activation of its receptor tyrosine kinase but not on that of protein kinase C, mitogen-activated protein kinases, or phosphoinositide-3 kinase.
499 11457715 The cGMP response to physiological concentrations of ANP was greater in EGF-treated D-NOD cells.
500 11457715 These studies suggest that EGF potentiates the ANP glomerular effects in diabetes by inhibition of its degradation by mesangial NPR-C via a mechanism involving AP-1.
501 11472620 While platelet-derived growth factor had no effect on keratinocyte proliferation, angiotensin II and angiotensin (1-7) significantly increased keratinocyte proliferation.
502 11472733 Glucosamine enhances platelet-derived growth factor-induced DNA synthesis via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway in rat aortic smooth muscle cells.
503 11472733 Culture of vascular smooth muscle A10 cells with high glucose for 4 weeks enhanced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced BrdU incorporation.
504 11472733 Of the subsequent intracellular signaling pathways, PDGF-induced PDGF beta-receptor association with PLC gamma was not affected, whereas tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, subsequent association of Shc with Grb2, and MAP kinase activation were relatively decreased.
505 11472733 In contrast, PDGF-induced PDGF beta-receptor association with the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3-kinase and PI3-kinase activation were increased by 20% (P<0.01) and 36% (P<0.01), respectively.
506 11472733 Pretreatment with PLC inhibitor (U73122) had negligible effects, and MEK1 inhibitor (PD98059) showed only a slight inhibitory effect on the PDGF-induced BrdU incorporation.
507 11472733 In contrast, pretreatment with PI3-kinase inhibitor (LY294002) significantly inhibited glucosamine enhancement of PDGF-induced BrdU incorporation.
508 11472733 These findings suggest that glucosamine is involved in the development of atherosclerosis by enhancing PDGF-induced mitogenesis specifically via the PI3-kinase pathway.

511 11472733 Of the subsequent intracellular signaling pathways, PDGF-induced PDGF beta-receptor association with PLC gamma was not affected, whereas tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, subsequent association of Shc with Grb2, and MAP kinase activation were relatively decreased.
512 11472733 In contrast, PDGF-induced PDGF beta-receptor association with the p85 regulatory subunit of PI3-kinase and PI3-kinase activation were increased by 20% (P<0.01) and 36% (P<0.01), respectively.

516 11473053 Growth hormone induces cellular insulin resistance by uncoupling phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and its downstream signals in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
517 11473053 In this study, we demonstrated that chronic GH treatment of differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes reduces insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose (DOG) uptake and activation of Akt (also known as protein kinase B), both of which are downstream effects of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, despite enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, association of IRS-1 with the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase, and IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity.
518 11473053 In contrast, chronic GH treatment did not affect 2-DOG uptake and Akt activation induced by overexpression of a membrane-targeted form of the p110 subunit of PI 3-kinase (p110(CAAX)) or Akt activation stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor.
519 11473053 Fractionation studies indicated that chronic GH treatment reduces insulin-stimulated translocation of Akt from the cytosol to the plasma membrane.
520 11473053 Interestingly, chronic GH treatment increased insulin-stimulated association of IRS-1 with p85 and IRS-1-associated PI 3-kinase activity preferentially in the cytosol.

540 11598137 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ligands inhibit mitogenic induction of p21(Cip1) by modulating the protein kinase Cdelta pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells.
541 11598137 PPARgamma ligands troglitazone (TRO, 10 microm) and rosiglitazone (RSG, 10 microm) attenuated the induction of p21(Cip1) protein by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin without affecting cognate mRNA levels in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMC).
542 11598137 Kinetic studies using the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide showed that TRO, RSG, and rottlerin shortened the half-life of p21(Cip1) protein.
543 11598137 TRO, RSG, and rottlerin inhibited PDGF-induced expression of p21(Cip1), but they did not affect insulin-induced expression of p21(Cip1).
544 11598137 Both ligands inhibited PKCdelta enzymatic activity in PDGF-stimulated RASMC but not in insulin-stimulated cells.
545 11598137 Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of PKCdelta rescued the down-regulation of p21(Cip1) expression both by TRO and RSG in PDGF-treated RASMC.
546 11598137 These data suggested that the PKCdelta pathway plays a critical role in PDGF-induced expression of p21(Cip1) in RASMC and may be the potential target for PPARgamma ligand effects.
547 11598137 Tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of c-Src in response to PDGF were unaffected by either PPARgamma ligand.
548 11598137 Both inhibitors also reversed PPARgamma ligand effects on p21(Cip1) expression in PDGF-treated RASMC.
549 11598137 PPARgamma ligands regulate p21(Cip1) at a post-translational level by blocking PKCdelta signaling and accelerating p21(Cip1) turnover.
550 11785657 Protein kinase C inhibits insulin-induced Akt activation in vascular smooth muscle cells.
551 11785657 We hypothesized that the negative regulation of Akt in the vasculature by PKC could contribute to insulin resistant states and, may therefore play a role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.
552 11785657 In this study, we specifically looked at the ability of PKC to inhibit Akt activation induced by insulin in cultured rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
553 11785657 A PKC activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), inhibited insulin-dependent Akt phosphorylation.
554 11785657 However, PMA did not inhibit platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced activation of Akt.
555 11785657 In addition, we demonstrated that PMA inhibited the insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1).
556 11823933 Topical platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB has proven effective in improving healing in impaired wounds but has the disadvantage of requiring large and repeated doses.
557 11838000 The ensuing inflammatory response is modulated by cytokines and growth factors, among them platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1).
558 11838000 In two independent studies, we demonstrated that mRNA levels for PDGF-A and -B and for MCP-1 are reduced after ingestion of n-3 fatty acids by human volunteers.
559 11838000 Together, our investigations lend support to the importance of PDGF-A, PDGF-B, and MCP-1 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and the beneficial role of n-3 fatty acids therein.

567 11861803 Close relationship between the platelet activation marker CD62 and the granular release of platelet-derived growth factor.
568 11861803 We characterized the relationship between CD62 expression and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)(AB) and PDGF(BB) secretion in response to thrombin-receptor activating peptide (TRAP).
569 11861803 The principal findings were 1) expression of CD62 as a constituent of platelet alpha-granule membrane and secretion of PDGF, an important ingredient of alpha-granules, can be stimulated by TRAP-induced activation in a dose-dependent fashion; 2) the activation marker and secretion product are closely correlated with each other; and 3) changes in the CD62 expression induced by a drug, namely clopidogrel, or by a disease, namely diabetes, are paralleled by changes in PDGF secretion.
570 11861803 Although CD62 is perceived as an activation marker of platelets indicating enhanced aggregability and secretion of alpha-granular content, the proof that the CD62 status and its modifications reflect directly the actual secretion of the most important platelet mitogen, PDGF, has so far not been given.
571 11861803 This ex vivo-in vitro study shows that at least for the activation pathway provided by the PAR-1 receptor for which TRAP is the selective agonist, CD62 expression on platelets could be a surrogate for their secretory activity.

577 11872370 We have previously reported that high glucose stimulates osteopontin (OPN) expression through protein kinase C-dependent pathway, as well as the hexosamine pathway, in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC).
578 11872370 We also found that OPN stimulated migration and enhanced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated DNA synthesis of cultured rat aortic SMC.
579 11872370 OPN and PDGF synergistically activated focal adhesion kinase (FAK), as well as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), which seems to be a reason for OPN-induced enhancement of PDGF-mediated DNA synthesis.
580 11936867 Incubation of IRPTC with BSA-AGE-degradation products increased the expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) mRNA to 210% after 1 hr; the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) mRNA reached 184% after 2 hr.
581 11991199 Potentiation of mitogenic activity of platelet-derived growth factor by physiological concentrations of insulin via the MAP kinase cascade in rat A10 vascular smooth muscle cells.
582 11991199 In this study, we attempted to determine whether insulin affects mitogenic signaling induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in a rat VSMC cell line (A10 cells).
583 11991199 Initiation of DNA synthesis was preceded by activation of Raf-1, MEK and MAP kinases (Erk 1 and Erk2).
584 11991199 Treatment of the cells with PD98059, an inhibitor of MAPK kinase (MEK) attenuated but did not abolish PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, suggesting that MAPK is required but not essential for DNA synthesis.
585 11991199 PDGF also stimulated phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and p70 S6Kinase (p70S6K) in a wortmannin-sensitive manner.
586 11991199 Low concentrations of insulin (1-10 nmol/l) alone showed little mitogenic activity and no significant effect on MAPK activity.
587 11991199 However, the presence of insulin enhanced both DNA synthesis and MAPK activation by PDGF.
588 11991199 Insulin was without effect on PDGF-stimulated activations of protein kinase B (Akt/PKB) and p70S6K.
589 11991199 We conclude that insulin, at pathophysiologically relevant concentrations, potentiates the PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis, at least in part, by potentiating activation of the MAPK cascade.

599 11998867 Fibroblasts derived from chronic diabetic ulcers differ in their response to stimulation with EGF, IGF-I, bFGF and PDGF-AB compared to controls.
600 11998867 Healing can be accelerated by application of growth factors like platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF).
601 11998867 We investigated the mitogenic responses, measured by 3[H]thymidine incorporation, of fibroblasts cultured from diabetic ulcers, non-diabetic ulcers, and non-lesional diabetic and age-matched controls, to recombinant human PDGF-AB, epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I).
602 11998867 Also the addition of bFGF, PDGF-AB and EGF prior to IGF-I induced a higher 3[H]thymidine uptake in all fibroblasts compared to the combination of each in reverse order.

606 12028051 Our data demonstrated that among various cytokine combinations of thrombopoietin (TPO), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1beta), IL-3, IL-6 and Flt-3 ligand (Flt-3L), TPO + IL-6 + Flt-3L was most efficient in promoting the expansion of CD34+ cells, CD34+CD38- cells, mixed-lineage colony-forming units (CFU-GEMM) and long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) by 21.7 +/- 5.00-, 103 +/- 27.9-, 10.7 +/- 7.94- and 6.52 +/- 1.51-fold, respectively, after 12-14 d of culture.
607 12028051 More significantly, PDGF enhanced the engraftment of human CD45+ cells and their myeloid subsets (CD33+, CD14+ cells) in non-obese diabetic (NOD)/severe-combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice.
608 12028051 The expression of PDGF receptor (PDGFR)-beta was not detectable in fresh CD34+ cells but was upregulated after culture for 3 d.
609 12028051 PDGF also enhanced the development of adherent cells/clusters that expressed the endothelial markers VE-cadherin and CD31.
610 12028051 The mechanism could be mediated by PDGFR-beta on committed CD34+ progenitor cells and/or secondary to the stimulation of autologous, stromal feeder cells.

620 12130557 Content and activity of cAMP response element-binding protein regulate platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha content in vascular smooth muscles.
621 12130557 Experiments in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) indicate that the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), the cyclic nucleotide response element-binding protein, suppresses expression of the platelet-derived growth factor-alpha receptor gene (PDGFRalpha).
622 12130557 Adenovirus-mediated expression of constitutively active CREB mutants decreases PDGFRalpha mRNA, PDGFRalpha protein, and PDGFRalpha promoter-luciferase reporter activity in cultured SMCs.
623 12130557 Expression of dominant negative CREB protein, A-CREB, increases PDGFRalpha protein content and the PDGFRalpha-promoter activity in SMCs.
624 12130557 Active CREB prevents activation of PDGFRalpha promoter-luciferase reporter activity by CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-delta (C/EBPdelta), shown to mediate IL-1beta stimulation of PDGFRalpha expression.
625 12130557 Exposure of cultured SMCs to high glucose or reactive oxidant stress, which decrease CREB protein content and activity, increases PDGFRalpha protein content and promoter activity.
626 12130557 Expression of active CREB blunts reactive oxidant stress-induced PDGFRalpha accumulation in SMCs.
627 12130557 Loss of CREB protein in aortic walls of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes is accompanied by an increase in PDGFRalpha content.
628 12130557 Ob/- controls), treatment with the peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor gamma rosiglitazone increases CREB content and decreases PDGFRalpha content in the aortic wall.
629 12130557 Thus, both in vitro and in vivo loss of CREB content and activity and subsequent accumulation of PDGFRalpha may contribute to SMC activation during diabetes.
630 12130557 Content and activity of cAMP response element-binding protein regulate platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha content in vascular smooth muscles.
631 12130557 Experiments in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) indicate that the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), the cyclic nucleotide response element-binding protein, suppresses expression of the platelet-derived growth factor-alpha receptor gene (PDGFRalpha).

640 12138086 Epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor alpha mimic the effects of insulin in human fat cells and augment downstream signaling in insulin resistance.
641 12138086 The ability of the growth factors epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha, and platelet-derived growth factor to exert insulin-like effects on glucose transport and lipolysis were examined in human and rat fat cells.
642 12138086 No effects were found in rat fat cells, whereas EGF (EC(50) for glucose transport approximately 0.02 nm) and transforming growth factor alpha (EC(50) approximately 0.2 nm), but not platelet-derived growth factor, mimicked the effects of insulin (EC(50) approximately 0.2 nm) on both pathways.
643 12138086 EGF increased the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins (the EGF receptor, insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, IRS-2, and Grb2-associated binder 1), whereas Shc and Gab2 were only weakly and inconsistently phosphorylated. p85, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), was also found to associate with all of these docking molecules, showing that EGF activated PI 3-kinase pools that were additional to those of insulin.
644 12138086 EGF and/or insulin increased protein kinase B/Akt serine phosphorylation to a similar extent, whereas mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation was more pronounced for EGF than for insulin.
645 12138086 The impaired insulin-stimulated downstream signaling, measured as protein kinase B/Akt serine phosphorylation, in insulin-resistant cells (Type 2 diabetes) was improved by the addition of EGF.
646 12138086 EGF mimics the effects of insulin on both the metabolic and mitogenic pathways but utilize in part different signaling pathways.
647 12138086 Both insulin and EGF increase the tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of IRS-1 and IRS-2, whereas EGF is also capable of activating additional PI 3-kinase pools and, thus, can augment the downstream signaling of insulin in insulin-resistant states like Type 2 diabetes.
648 12138086 Epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor alpha mimic the effects of insulin in human fat cells and augment downstream signaling in insulin resistance.
649 12138086 The ability of the growth factors epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha, and platelet-derived growth factor to exert insulin-like effects on glucose transport and lipolysis were examined in human and rat fat cells.
650 12138086 No effects were found in rat fat cells, whereas EGF (EC(50) for glucose transport approximately 0.02 nm) and transforming growth factor alpha (EC(50) approximately 0.2 nm), but not platelet-derived growth factor, mimicked the effects of insulin (EC(50) approximately 0.2 nm) on both pathways.
651 12138086 EGF increased the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins (the EGF receptor, insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, IRS-2, and Grb2-associated binder 1), whereas Shc and Gab2 were only weakly and inconsistently phosphorylated. p85, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), was also found to associate with all of these docking molecules, showing that EGF activated PI 3-kinase pools that were additional to those of insulin.
652 12138086 EGF and/or insulin increased protein kinase B/Akt serine phosphorylation to a similar extent, whereas mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation was more pronounced for EGF than for insulin.
653 12138086 The impaired insulin-stimulated downstream signaling, measured as protein kinase B/Akt serine phosphorylation, in insulin-resistant cells (Type 2 diabetes) was improved by the addition of EGF.
654 12138086 EGF mimics the effects of insulin on both the metabolic and mitogenic pathways but utilize in part different signaling pathways.
655 12138086 Both insulin and EGF increase the tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of IRS-1 and IRS-2, whereas EGF is also capable of activating additional PI 3-kinase pools and, thus, can augment the downstream signaling of insulin in insulin-resistant states like Type 2 diabetes.
656 12176727 Insulin inhibits PDGF-directed VSMC migration via NO/ cGMP increase of MKP-1 and its inactivation of MAPKs.
657 12176727 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) increased VSMC migration, which was inhibited by pretreatment with insulin in a dose-dependent manner.
658 12176727 Insulin also caused a 60% decrease in PDGF-stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation and activation.
659 12176727 Insulin inhibition of MAPK was accompanied by a rapid induction of MAPK phosphatase (MKP-1), which inactivates MAPKs by dephosphorylation.
660 12176727 Pretreatment with inhibitors of the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway, blocked insulin-induced MKP-1 expression and restored PDGF-stimulated MAPK activation and migration.
661 12176727 In contrast, adenoviral infection of VSMCs with MKP-1 or cGMP-dependent protein kinase Ialpha (cGK Ialpha), the downstream effector of cGMP signaling, blocked the activation of MAPK and prevented PDGF-directed VSMC migration.
662 12176727 Expression of antisense MKP-1 RNA prevented insulin's inhibitory effect and restored PDGF-directed VSMC migration and MAPK phosphorylation.
663 12176727 We conclude that insulin inhibition of VSMC migration may be mediated in part by NO/cGMP/cGK Ialpha induction of MKP-1 and consequent inactivation of MAPKs.
664 12196513 High glucose stimulates synthesis of fibronectin via a novel protein kinase C, Rap1b, and B-Raf signaling pathway.
665 12196513 This investigation describes the effect of high glucose (HG) on a small GTP-binding protein, Rap1b, expression and activation, and the relevance of protein kinase C (PKC) and Raf pathways in fibronectin synthesis in cultured renal glomerular mesangial cells (MCs).
666 12196513 B-Raf and Raf-1 expression was investigated to assess whether Rap1b effects are mediated via the Raf pathway.
667 12196513 B-Raf, and not Raf-1, expression was increased in MCs transfected with Rap1b.
668 12196513 HG also caused activation of Rap1b, which was largely unaffected by anti-platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) antibodies.
669 12196513 HG-induced activation of Rap1b was specific, since Rap2b activation and expression of Rap2a and Rap2b were unaffected by HG.
670 12196513 This effect appears to be PKC-dependent and PDGF-independent, but involves B-Raf, suggesting a novel PKC-Rap1b-B-Raf pathway responsible for HG-induced increased mesangial matrix synthesis, a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy.
671 12213733 Independent regulation of transforming growth factor-beta1 transcription and translation by glucose and platelet-derived growth factor.
672 12213733 We have previously demonstrated that proximal tubular renal epithelial cell TGF-beta1 synthesis may be modulated by elevated glucose concentration and by cytokines such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF).
673 12213733 The aim of the current study was to characterize the mechanism by which glucose and PDGF synergistically stimulate the generation of TGF-beta1.
674 12213733 Addition of either 25 mmol/L of D-glucose or low-dose PDGF increased TGF-beta1 mRNA expression without stimulation of TGF-beta1 protein synthesis.
675 12213733 In contrast sequential stimulation with 25 mmol/L of D-glucose for 48 hours followed by low-dose (25 ng/ml) PDGF led to a significant increase in TGF-beta1 synthesis.
676 12213733 PDGF at low dose did not influence TGF-beta1 transcription, but led to alteration in TGF-beta1 mRNA stability and translation.
677 12213733 Without a previous glucose-induced increase in the amount of TGF-beta1 transcript, PDGF did not stimulate significant TGF-beta1 protein synthesis.
678 12213733 At a high dose (100 ng/ml) PDGF stimulated TGF-beta1 synthesis independent of glucose concentration.
679 12213733 In conclusion the data suggests that in diabetic nephropathy, the role of glucose is to lower the threshold at which a stimulus such as PDGF stimulates TGF-beta1 protein synthesis.
680 12213733 The data also suggest that independent regulation of TGF-beta1 transcription and translation by glucose and PDGF account for their synergistic effect on TGF-beta1 protein synthesis.

689 12213733 In conclusion the data suggests that in diabetic nephropathy, the role of glucose is to lower the threshold at which a stimulus such as PDGF stimulates TGF-beta1 protein synthesis.
690 12213733 The data also suggest that independent regulation of TGF-beta1 transcription and translation by glucose and PDGF account for their synergistic effect on TGF-beta1 protein synthesis.
691 12232532 The place of topical growth factor like PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) and of living skin equivalents (dermagraft, apligraf) is not defined in ischaemic diabetic ulcers.
692 12351455 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B is involved in pericyte recruitment, and brain capillaries of mice with a genetic ablation of PDGF-B show pericyte loss and microaneurysms.
693 12512939 Cultured explants from diabetic rats displayed a delay in the time-course of [3H]-thymidine incorporation as well as enhanced sensitivity to endothelin-1 (ET-1) or insulin. iSC cultured in high (25 mM) glucose-containing media also exhibited higher [3H]-thymidine incorporation, along with an enhanced activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and phospholipase C in response to ET-1 or platelet-derived growth factor as compared to controls (5.5 mM glucose).
694 12540630 Glucose-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent upregulation of the platelet-derived growth factor-beta receptor potentiates vascular smooth muscle cell chemotaxis.
695 12540630 The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of elevated D-glucose concentrations on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) expression of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)beta receptor and VSMC migratory behavior.
696 12540630 Immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining, and RT-PCR of human VSMCs showed that elevated D-glucose induced an increase in the PDGFbeta receptor that was inhibited by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibitors.

709 12560158 High glucose potentiates mitogenic responses of cultured ovine coronary smooth muscle cells to platelet derived growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta1.
710 12560158 Transforming growth factor-beta1 (1 ng/ml) caused a 100% increase of the PDGF-bb response in both normal and high glucose media.
711 12560158 In conclusion, high glucose, per se, only very weakly stimulates smooth muscle cell growth but it interacts positively to potentiate the responses to the vascular derived growth factors PDGF and TGF-beta1.
712 12574158 The extracellular domain of receptor activity-modifying protein 1 is sufficient for calcitonin receptor-like receptor function.
713 12574158 A functional calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor requires dimerization of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) with receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP 1).
714 12574158 To determine the function of the three domains (extracellular, ECD; transmembrane, TM; and tail domains) of human RAMP 1, three mutants were constructed: RAMP 1 without the cytoplasmic tail, a chimera consisting of the ECD of RAMP 1 and the TM and tail of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and the ECD of RAMP 1 alone.
715 12574158 These RAMP 1 mutants were examined for their ability to associate with CRLR to effect CGRP-stimulated cAMP accumulation, CGRP binding, CRLR trafficking, and cell surface expression.
716 12574158 All RAMP 1 mutants were able to associate with CRLR with full efficacy for CGRP-stimulated cAMP accumulation.
717 12574158 However, the RAMP 1/platelet-derived growth factor receptor chimera demonstrated a 10-fold decrease in potency for CGRP signaling and binding, and the RAMP 1-ECD mutant had a 4000-fold decrease in potency.

724 12598306 To identify new markers for pericytes, we have taken advantage of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B knockout mouse model, in which developing blood vessels in the central nervous system are almost completely devoid of pericytes.
725 12598306 Absence of RGS5 expression in PDGF-B and PDGFR beta-null embryos correlated with pericyte loss in these mice.

728 12606526 Latent transforming growth factor-beta binding protein-1, a component of latent transforming growth factor-beta complex, accelerates the migration of aortic smooth muscle cells in diabetic rats through integrin-beta3.
729 12606526 Aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of diabetic animals have unique properties, including the overexpression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) type II receptor, fibronectin, and platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor.
730 12606526 TGF-beta1 is produced and secreted as latent high-molecular weight complex consisting of mature TGF-beta1, latency-associated peptide (LAP), and a latent TGF-beta1 binding protein (LTBP-1).
731 12606526 LAP has an important function in the latency of TGF-beta complex, but the role of LTBP-1 is not known in diabetic angiopathy.
732 12606526 Furthermore, cross-linking experiments show that LTBP-1 binds integrin-beta(3) in diabetic SMCs much more than in control SMCs in coincidence with the increase of integrin-beta(3) in diabetic aorta by immunohistochemistry.
733 12606526 Taken together, these observations suggest that LTBP-1 plays a critical role in intimal thickening of diabetic artery through the acceleration of SMC migration via integrin-beta(3).
734 12606528 Role of protein kinase C on the expression of platelet-derived growth factor and endothelin-1 in the retina of diabetic rats and cultured retinal capillary pericytes.
735 12606528 The effects of high glucose and protein kinase C (PKC) activation on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB and of ET-1 expression in the retina of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and bovine retinal pericytes (BRPC) were examined.
736 12606528 Treatment with PKC-beta isoform-specific inhibitor (LY333531) or insulin normalized retinal ET-1 and PDGF-B expression.
737 12606528 The addition of PDGF-BB but not PDGF-AA increased expression of ppET-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA by 1.6- and 2.1-fold, respectively, with both inhibited by AG1296, a selective PDGF receptor kinase inhibitor.
738 12606528 Thus, increased ET-1 expression in diabetic retina could be due to increased expression of PDGF-BB, mediated via PDGF-beta receptors in part by PKC activation.
739 12606528 Role of protein kinase C on the expression of platelet-derived growth factor and endothelin-1 in the retina of diabetic rats and cultured retinal capillary pericytes.

754 12740486 Contribution of Rho A and Rho kinase to platelet-derived growth factor-BB-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.
755 12740486 In order to identify small G protein (s) which contributes to the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), we examined the effect of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (cerivastatin), a farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI-277), a geranyl geranyl transferase inhibitor (GGTI-286) and a Rho kinase inhibitor (Y-27632) on the proliferation of cultured rat VSMCs stimulated with 20ng/ml platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB.
756 12740486 Contribution of Rho A and Rho kinase to platelet-derived growth factor-BB-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.
757 12740486 In order to identify small G protein (s) which contributes to the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), we examined the effect of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (cerivastatin), a farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI-277), a geranyl geranyl transferase inhibitor (GGTI-286) and a Rho kinase inhibitor (Y-27632) on the proliferation of cultured rat VSMCs stimulated with 20ng/ml platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB.
758 12768220 In addition to decreasing angiotensin II and increasing bradykinin levels, ramipril increases the levels of vasodilatory renal medullary neutral lipids and inhibits platelet-derived growth factor-induced proliferation of glomerulus cells.
759 12845621 These include increased synthesis of type IV collagen following hyperglycaemia-induced alteration of the pattern of podocyte-integrin expression, decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and 3), and increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP).
760 12845621 Other factors which may contribute to renal matrix accumulation include vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), since treatment with anti-VEGF antibodies attenuates glomerular basement membrane thickening, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (B chain) and its receptor, which appear to be highly expressed in mesangial and visceral epithelial cells and might play a role in the development of diabetic nephropathy.
761 14514641 The mechanisms by which insulin exerts these contrasting effects were examined using alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) as a marker of VSMC phenotype because alpha-SMA is highly expressed in quiescent but not migratory VSMC.
762 14514641 Wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, decreased insulin-stimulated expression of alpha-SMA mRNA by 26% and protein by 48% but had no effect on VSMC migration.
763 14514641 PD98059, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase inhibitor, decreased insulin-induced VSMC migration by 52% but did not affect alpha-SMA levels.
764 14514641 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) promoted dedifferentiation of VSMC, and insulin counteracted this effect.
765 14514641 Furthermore, insulin increased alpha-SMA mRNA and protein levels to 111 and 118%, respectively, after PDGF-induced dedifferentiation, an effect inhibited by wortmannin.
766 14514641 In conclusion, insulin's ability to maintain VSMC quiescence and reverse the dedifferentiating influence of PDGF is mediated via the PI3K pathway, whereas insulin promotes VSMC migration via the MAPK pathway.
767 14514641 Thus, with impaired PI 3-kinase signaling and intact MAPK signaling, as seen in insulin resistance, insulin may lose its ability to maintain VSMC quiescence and instead promote VSMC migration.
768 14516785 The present studies were designed to investigate the signal transduction pathways controlling the expression of MCM6 and MCM7 in VSMC in response to mitogenic stimuli.
769 14516785 MCM6 and MCM7 expression was substantially increased after stimulation with platelet-derived growth factor-BB and insulin.
770 14516785 Pretreatment with PD98059, a specific inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK)-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), competely inhibited the mitogen-induced MCM6 and MCM7 mRNA and protein expression, demonstrating a critical role for this pathway in transmitting transmembrane signals required for the initiation of DNA replication.
771 14516785 The p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580, the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3-kinase) pathway inhibitor wortmannin, and the protein kinase C pathway (PKC) inhibitor Gö 6976 did not significantly affect mitogen-induced MCM6 and MCM7 expression.
772 14516785 Transient transfection experiments revealed that PD98059 inhibited mitogen-induced MCM6 and MCM7 transcriptional activation.
773 14516785 Inhibition of mitogen-induced MCM6 and MCM7 expression by PD98059 was reversed by ectopic overexpression of E2F, indicating that ERK/MAPK signaling is required for events that occur upstream of E2F release from phosphorylated Rb.
774 14669155 To examine possible mechanisms for this effect, we studied nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation and the tyrosine phosphorylation pathway; AGE stimulated NF-kappaB activity, but phosphorylation of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor was unchanged.
775 14669155 In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing galectin-3, an AGE receptor related to atherosclerosis, AGE increased thymidine uptake.
776 15067514 Glomerular expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-A, -B chain and PDGF receptor-alpha, -beta in human diabetic nephropathy.
777 15127326 Differential regulation of ANG2 and VEGF-A in human granulosa lutein cells by choriogonadotropin.
778 15127326 In this study we investigated by RT PCR if the growth factors PGF, PDGF-A, PDGF-B, VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, ANG1, ANG2, ANG3 and ANG4 are expressed in granulosa cells.
779 15127326 We show the expression of VEGF-A, VEGF-B, PDGF-A, ANG1 and ANG2 in granulosa cells.
780 15127326 Using RT-PCR and Real-Time PCR we demonstrate that angiopoietin 2 is downregulated in human granulosa cells in vitro after choriogonadotropin treatment whereas the expression of angiopoietin 1 is not significantly altered.
781 15127326 In total these findings suggests that in granulosa cells the mRNA of various growth factors is detectable by RT-PCR and that VEGF-A and ANG2 is regulated by the gonadotropic hormone choriogonadotropin.
782 15131119 White adipose tissue of FIRKO mice is also characterized by a polarization into two major populations of adipocytes, one small (<50 microm) and one large (>100 microm), which differ with regard to basal triglyceride synthesis and lipolysis, as well as in the expression of fatty acid synthase, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBP-alpha).
783 15131119 These alterations exhibited 10 defined patterns and occurred in response to two distinct regulatory effects. 63 genes were identified as changed in expression depending primarily upon adipocyte size, including C/EBP-alpha, C/EBP-delta, superoxide dismutase 3, and the platelet-derived growth factor receptor. 48 genes were regulated primarily by impairment of insulin signaling, including transforming growth factor beta, interferon gamma, insulin-like growth factor I receptor, activating transcription factor 3, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, and protein kinase Cdelta.
784 15131119 These data suggest an intrinsic heterogeneity of adipocytes with differences in gene expression related to adipocyte size and insulin signaling.
785 15140748 We investigated the effects of angiotensin II (ANG II) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB on VSMC-monocyte interactions.
786 15140748 Using specific signal transduction inhibitors, we demonstrated the involvement of Src, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and MAPKs in ANG II- or PDGF-BB-induced binding.
787 15161630 Analysis of gene expression by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction demonstrates a significant up-regulation of platelet-derived growth factor-B and fibroblast growth factor-2 in VEGF-treated wounds, which corresponds with the increased granulation tissue in these wounds.
788 15161630 We observed increased numbers of circulating VEGFR2(+)/CD11b(-) cells in the VEGF-treated mice by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, which likely represent an endothelial precursor population.
789 15161630 In diabetic mice with bone marrow replaced by that of tie2/lacZ mice we demonstrate that the local recruitment of bone marrow-derived endothelial lineage lacZ+ cells was augmented by topical VEGF.
790 15176000 While there are several mechanisms that regulate IFP in tumors, activation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor, which is expressed in various cell types within the tumor microenvironment, has been observed to play an important role in elevating IFP.
791 15176000 In preclinical studies, treatment with imatinib, which inhibits both alpha- and beta-platelet-derived growth factor receptors, as well as KIT, ABL, ARG, and BCR-ABL tyrosine kinases, has been shown to decrease tumor IFP and concomitantly augment uptake of chemotherapeutic drugs, thereby enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy.

794 15229188 It regulates both insulin and leptin signaling, and interacts with the epidermal- and platelet-derived growth factor receptors.
795 15240344 In wild-type VSMCs, exogenously added L-PGDS delayed serum-induced cell cycle progression from the G1 to S phase, as determined by gene array analysis and the decreased protein expressions of cyclin-dependent kinase-2, p21(Cip1), and cyclin D1.
796 15240344 Cyclin D3 protein expression was unaffected by L-PGDS, although its gene expression was stimulated by L-PGDS in wild-type cells.

799 15336602 Calcium-sensing receptor activation stimulates parathyroid hormone-related protein secretion in prostate cancer cells: role of epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation.
800 15336602 We have previously reported that high extracellular Ca2+ stimulates parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) release from human prostate and breast cancer cell lines as well as from H-500 rat Leydig cancer cells, an action mediated by the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR).
801 15336602 Activating the CaR leads to phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that participate in PTHrP synthesis and secretion.
802 15336602 Because the CaR is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), it is likely to transactivate the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR).
803 15336602 In this study, we hypothesized that activation of the CaR transactivates the EGFR or PDGFR, and examined whether transactivation affects PTHrP secretion in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells.
804 15336602 Using Western analysis, we observed that an increase in extracellular Ca2+ resulted in delayed activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in PC-3 cells.
805 15336602 Pre-incubation with AG1478 (an EGFR kinase inhibitor) or an EGFR neutralizing antibody inhibited the high Ca2+ -induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2.
806 15336602 GM6001, a pan matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor, also partially suppressed the ERK activation, but AG1296 (a PDGFR kinase inhibitor) did not.
807 15336602 When cells were preincubated with AG1478, GM6001, or an antihuman heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF) antibody, PTHrP secretion was significantly inhibited under basal as well as high Ca2+ conditions, while AG1296 had no effect on PTHrP secretion.
808 15336602 Taken together, these findings indicate that activation of the CaR transactivates the EGFR, but not the PDGFR, leading to phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and resultant PTHrP secretion, although CaR-EGFR-ERK might not be the only signaling pathway for PTHrP secretion.
809 15336602 This transactivation is most likely mediated by activation of MMP and cleavage of proheparin-binding EGF (proHB-EGF) to HB-EGF.
810 15370072 One mechanism by which ROS exert their cellular effects involves their ability to modulate the expression and function of vascular genes, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which play key atherogenic roles by their regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and fibroproliferative responsiveness.

824 15504957 Insulin stimulates the disposal of blood glucose into skeletal muscle and adipose tissues by the translocation of GLUT4 from intracellular pools to the plasma membrane, and consequently the concentration of blood glucose levels decreases rapidly in vivo.
825 15504957 Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and Akt play a pivotal role in the stimulation of glucose transport by insulin, but detailed mechanisms are unknown.

856 16103269 Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB (25 ng/mL) increased DNA synthesis ([3H]thymidine incorporation), cellular proliferation (cell number), collagen synthesis ([3H]proline incorporation), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity, and these effects were attenuated by 2-chloroadenosine (nonselective AR agonist) and 5'-N-methylcarboxamidoadenosine (MECA; nonselective AR agonist), but not by N6-cyclopentyladenosine (selective A1 AR agonist), AB-N-MECA (selective A3 AR agonist), or CGS21680 (selective A(2A) AR agonist).

862 16249442 Stimulation of patients' skin fibroblast cells with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) resulted in a lower-level tyrosine phosphorylation of cytosolic proteins compared with that seen in normal cells.
863 16249442 We further showed that the lower-level tyrosine phosphorylation in response to growth factors results from the downregulation of an NADPH oxidase, Nox4, which in turn results in the reduction of ROS generation.
864 16249442 Ectopic expression of Nox4 in the patient fibroblast cells consistently restored PDGF-induced ROS production and regulation of PTPase activities.

874 16569213 Angiotensin II stimulates phosphorylation of an ectodomain-truncated platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta and its binding to class IA PI3K in vascular smooth muscle cells.
875 16569213 PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) activity is involved in Ang (angiotensin) II-stimulated VSMC (vascular smooth muscle cell) growth and hypertrophy.
876 16569213 In the present study, we demonstrate that the inhibition of PI3K in VSMCs by expression of a dominant-negative p85alpha mutant lacking the p110-binding domain (Deltap85), or by treatment of cells with LY294002, inhibited Ang II-stimulated PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) mRNA expression.
877 16569213 Using a GST (glutathione S-transferase) fusion protein containing the p85 N-terminal SH2 (Src homology 2) domain as 'bait' followed by MS/MS (tandem MS), we identified a 70 kDa fragment of the p70 PDGFR-beta (platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta) as a signalling adapter that is phosphorylated and recruits the p85 subunit of PI3K after Ang II stimulation of AT1 (Ang II subtype 1) receptors on VSMCs.
878 16569213 Stimulation of VSMCs with Ang II increased tyrosine-phosphorylation of p70 PDGFR-beta at Tyr751 and Tyr1021 and increased its binding to p85.
879 16569213 PDGF also induced phosphorylation of p70 PDGFR-beta, a response inhibited by the PDGF tyrosine kinase selective inhibitor, AG1296.
880 16569213 Ang II-stimulated phosphorylation of the p70 PDGFR-beta was blocked by the AT1 receptor antagonist, candesartan (CV 11974) and was partially inhibited by PP2 {4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine}, an Src family kinase inhibitor.

1012 17191576 Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor enhances repair of cutaneous full-thickness excision by increasing the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase in diabetic rat.
1013 17259386 The Rab GTPase-activating protein AS160 integrates Akt, protein kinase C, and AMP-activated protein kinase signals regulating GLUT4 traffic.
1014 17259386 Insulin-dependent phosphorylation of Akt target AS160 is required for GLUT4 translocation.
1015 17259386 Insulin and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (Akt activators) or activation of conventional/novel (c/n) protein kinase C (PKC) and 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) all promote a rise in membrane GLUT4 in skeletal muscle and cultured cells.
1016 17259386 Here we explore the hypothesis that AS160 is a molecular link among diverse signaling cascades converging on GLUT4 translocation.
1017 17259386 PDGF and insulin increased AS160 phosphorylation in CHO-IR cells.
1018 17259386 Stimuli that activate c/n PKC or AMPK also elevated AS160 phosphorylation.
1019 17259386 We therefore examined if these signaling pathways engage AS160 to regulate GLUT4 traffic in muscle cells.
1020 17259386 Nonphosphorylatable AS160 (4P-AS160) virtually abolished the net surface GLUT4myc gains elicited by insulin, PDGF, K(+) depolarization, or 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-d-ribofuranoside but partly, yet significantly, inhibited the effects of 4-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate.
1021 17259386 RK-AS160 (GTPase-activating protein [GAP] inactive) or 4PRK-AS160 (GAP inactive, nonphosphorylatable) had no effect on surface GLUT4myc elicited by all stimuli.
1022 17259386 Collectively, these results indicate that activation of Akt, c/n PKC, or alpha2-AMPK intersect at AS160 to regulate GLUT4 traffic, as well as highlight the potential of AS160 as a therapy target to increase muscle glucose uptake.

1025 17403678 The Lipoxin A4 receptor is coupled to SHP-2 activation: implications for regulation of receptor tyrosine kinases.
1026 17403678 Using site-directed mutagenesis of the cytosolic domain of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRbeta), we report that mutation of the sites for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Tyr(740) and Tyr(751)) and SHP-2 (Tyr(763) and Tyr(1009)) recruitment specifically inhibit the effect of LXA(4) on the PDGFRbeta signaling; furthermore inhibition of SHP-2 expression with short interfering RNA constructs blocked the effect of LXA(4) on PDGFRbeta phosphorylation.
1027 17403678 We demonstrate that association of the PDGFRbeta with lipid raft microdomains renders it susceptible to LXA(4)-mediated dephosphorylation by possible reactivation of oxidatively inactivated SHP-2.
1028 17477023 This led us to examine TGF-beta1 regulation when the effects of macrophage derived cytokines such as platelet derived growth factor and interleukin-1 are combined with exposure to elevated glucose concentrations.
1029 17477023 In addition, direct interaction between monocyte-macrophage CD18 and PTC cell surface ICAM-1 stimulates TGF-beta1 synthesis.

1031 17596523 Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with increased oxidative stress, overexpression and activation of growth factor receptors, including those for transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta-RII), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-R), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF1-R).
1032 17596523 The early phase of diabetes was found to be associated with an increase in glomerular expression of IGF1-R, PDGF-R, and TGF-beta-RII and activation of IRS1, Erk 1/2, and Smad 2/3.

1164 18804536 In conclusion, simvastatin inhibits VSMC proliferation in high glucose status, mimicking diabetes, inducing a G0/G1 phase cell cycle growth arrest by acting on multiple steps upstream of pRb, including inhibition of CDK2/4 expression and up-regulation of p53, p21, p16, and p27.
1165 18923384 The inability of mesangial cells to degrade abnormal levels of tenascin-C--along with the increased expression of some growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)--is crucial to the pathogenesis of light chain deposition disease (LCDD).

1184 19373754 Rat somatotroph MtT-S and mouse corticotroph AtT20 tumor cells expressed only a part of the PDGF/PDGF receptor components whereas mouse gonadotroph alphaT3-1 and rat lactosomatotroph GH3 pituitary tumour cells contained neither PDGF nor PDGF receptors.
1185 19373754 To further characterize the role of PDGF in TtT/GF cells, the effect of PDGF-AB and -BB on growth and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) release was studied.

1196 19443196 Ferulic acid augments angiogenesis via VEGF, PDGF and HIF-1 alpha.
1197 19443196 Using Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, we found that ferulic acid increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) expression in HUVECs.
1198 19443196 Furthermore, the amounts of hypoxic-induced factor (HIF) 1 alpha mRNA and protein, the major regulator of VEGF and PDGF, also showed up-regulation by ferulic acid.
1199 19443196 Moreover, inhibitors of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) abolished the binding activity of HIF-1 alpha and the subsequent activation of VEGF and PDGF production by ferulic acid.
1200 19443196 This effect might be observed through the modulation of VEGF, PDGF and HIF-1 alpha.
1201 19452424 Transforming growth factor beta, connective tissue growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors are among those best known and investigated.
1202 19452424 There are also data, even though limited, on the involvement of other two growth factors, epidermal growth factor and platelet derived growth factor, in the pathogenesis of DN.
1203 19580379 We have investigated the role of transcription and translation on the GAG hyper-elongation effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
1204 19580379 To determine if the response involves specific signalling pathways or the process of GAG hyper-elongation we have also investigated the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and thrombin.
1205 19799585 Vitreous and serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor and their correlation in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and clinically significant macula oedema.
1206 19881493 In the retina, pericyte apoptosis and the formation of acellular capillaries, the most specific vascular pathologies attributed to hyperglycemia, is linked to the loss of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated survival actions owing to unknown mechanisms.
1207 19881493 Here we show that hyperglycemia persistently activates protein kinase C-delta (PKC-delta, encoded by Prkcd) and p38alpha mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) to increase the expression of a previously unknown target of PKC-delta signaling, Src homology-2 domain-containing phosphatase-1 (SHP-1), a protein tyrosine phosphatase.
1208 19881493 This signaling cascade leads to PDGF receptor-beta dephosphorylation and a reduction in downstream signaling from this receptor, resulting in pericyte apoptosis independently of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling.
1209 19881493 Unlike diabetic age-matched wild-type mice, diabetic Prkcd(-/-) mice did not show activation of p38alpha MAPK or SHP-1, inhibition of PDGF signaling in vascular cells or the presence of acellular capillaries.
1210 19881493 We also observed PKC-delta, p38alpha MAPK and SHP-1 activation in brain pericytes and in the renal cortex of diabetic mice.
1211 20091922 The objective of this study was to assess the effects of three specific concentrations of silicone resin particles (12 mum average diameter) in conjunction with either platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on fibroblast cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, cell morphology, and migration through in vitro assays and a monolayer scratch wound model.
1212 20091922 PDGF and bFGF enhanced the proliferation of fibroblasts 5.7-fold and fivefold, respectively, while the addition of silicone particles had no significant effect on proliferation.
1213 20091922 Fibroblast migration was enhanced by the addition of both PDGF and bFGF compared to controls, although slower scratch wound closure rates were observed in the presence of particles compared to controls without particles.
1214 20437788 These secretory proteins include cytokines and growth factors such as transforming growth factor-beta, vascular endothelia growth factor, platelet derived growth factor, and so on.

1216 20610572 Structural characteristics of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains on PGs influence lipoprotein binding and are altered adversely by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF).
1217 20610572 The signaling pathway for PDGF-mediated GAG elongation via the PDGF receptor (PDGFR) was investigated.
1218 20610572 Knockdown of PDGFRbeta using small interfering RNA demonstrated that PDGF mediated changes in PGs via PDGFRbeta.
1219 20610572 Downstream signaling to GAG hyperelongation was mediated through ERK MAPK and not phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase or phospholipase Cgamma.
1220 20610572 In high-fat-fed apolipoprotein E(-/-) mice, inhibition of PDGFRbeta activity by imatinib reduced aortic total lipid staining area by 35% (P < 0.05).
1221 20659357 Among them, keratinocyte growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor were highly expressed in the EPCs and were present at substantial levels in the EPC-injected dermal tissue.
1222 20705622 Oxidative stress is one of the major markers of inflammatory response and oxidative stress markers such as lipid peroxidation, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase, G Peroxidase, G-S Peroxidase and plasma total antioxidant play a major role in the nonhealing of diabetic foot ulcers.
1223 20705622 Growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are needed for normal wound repair, while proteases such as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and serine proteases found in chronic wounds delay the healing process.
1224 20800279 To examine if DAPT would interfere with vessel maturation, DAPT was also delivered with a combination of VEGF and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF).
1225 20946955 Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signal through EGF and PDGF receptors, which are important receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).
1226 20946955 Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) are four helical bundle peptide hormones that signal via GHR and PRLR, members of the cytokine receptor superfamily.
1227 20946955 We find that GH and EGF specifically synergize for activation of ERK in murine preadipocytes.
1228 20946955 The locus of this synergy resides at the level of MEK activation, but not above this level (i.e., not at the level of EGFR, SHC, or Raf activation).
1229 20946955 Furthermore, dephosphorylation of the scaffold protein, KSR, at a critical serine residue is also synergistically promoted by GH and EGF, suggesting that GH sensitizes these cells to EGF-induced ERK activation by augmenting the actions of KSR in facilitating MEK-ERK activation.
1230 20946955 Similarly specific synergy in ERK activation is also detected in human T47D breast cancer cells by cotreatment with PRL and PDGF.
1231 20946955 Consistent with this synergy, PRL and PDGF also synergized for c-fos-dependent transactivation of a luciferase reporter gene in T47D cells, indicating that events downstream of ERK activation reflect this signaling synergy.
1232 21537407 However, vascular complications result from imbalances caused by increases in systemic toxic metabolites, such as those that occur under conditions of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, and by reductions in endogenous protective factors such as insulin, vascular endothelial growth factor, and platelet derived growth factor.

1234 21833587 Deletion of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β improves diabetic nephropathy in Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIα (Thr286Asp) transgenic mice.
1235 21969604 Insulin exerts many of its metabolic actions via the canonical phosphatidylinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway, leading to phosphorylation and 14-3-3 binding of key metabolic targets.
1236 21969604 We previously identified a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for Rac1 called RhoGAP22 as an insulin-responsive 14-3-3 binding protein.
1237 21969604 Insulin increased 14-3-3 binding to RhoGAP22 fourfold, and this effect was PI3K dependent.
1238 21969604 Mutation of the catalytic arginine of the GAP domain of RhoGAP22 potentiated growth factor-stimulated Rac1 GTP loading.
1239 21969604 We propose that insulin and possibly growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor may play a novel role in regulating cell migration and motility via the Akt-dependent phosphorylation of RhoGAP22, leading to modulation of Rac1 activity.
1240 21993628 Here we show that platelet-derived growth factor receptor (Pdgfr) signalling controls age-dependent β-cell proliferation in mouse and human pancreatic islets.
1241 21993628 With age, declining β-cell Pdgfr levels were accompanied by reductions in β-cell enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (Ezh2) levels and β-cell replication.
1242 22048734 On day 7 after treatment, AMD3100 was associated with higher circulating EPC and macrophage counts, and with significantly upregulated mRNA levels of stromal cell-derived factor 1 and platelet-derived growth factor B in the wound bed.
1243 22076171 Immunohistochemical results of the tumor were as follows: α-methylacyl-coenzyme A rasemase (AMACR) +++, vimentin +++, cytokeratin (CK) 18 +++, CD10 +++, S-100 protein +, MUC1 ++, MUC2 ++, MUC5AC ++, MUC6 ++, panCK Cam5.2 +, CK7 +, CK8 +, CK14 +, CK19 +, CK20 +, p53 +, HepPar1 +, CD68 +, platelet-derived growth factor-α (PDGFRA) +, PanCK AE1/3 -, PanCK WSS -, PanCK MNF115 -, CK 35BE12 -, CK5/6 -, EMA -, desmin -, smooth muscle antigen -, α-fetoprotein -, CEA -, estrogen receptor -, progesterone receptor -, HER2 -, p63 -, and KIT -.

1245 22092796 Controls were db/db mice receiving platelet-derived growth factor + insulin-like growth factor-1 (group 5), topical placebo (NaCl 9 mg/mL) and insulin (group 6), placebo (group 7), and a nondiabetic group receiving placebo (group 8).
1246 22859860 Addition of adiponectin to quiescent porcine coronary artery SMCs increased both protein and DNA synthesis and concurrently activated ERK1/2 and Akt.
1247 22859860 By contrast, globular adiponectin, a truncated form of this protein, exhibited anti-mitogenic properties as indicated by the inhibition of protein and DNA synthesis in SMCs stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF).
1248 22859860 Whereas globular adiponectin did not stimulate growth-related signal transduction pathways, it was able to block the PDGF-dependent phosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase, a regulator of protein synthesis.
1249 23239217 LAD; SIS; SSS; CT-LeSc) were also significantly higher in diabetic patients.
1250 23239217 In the per segment analysis, diabetics had a higher percentage of segments with plaque in every vessel (2.6/13.1/7.5/10.5% for diabetics vs. 1.4/7.1/3.3/4.4% for nondiabetics for LM, LAD, LCx, RCA respectively; p < 0.001 for all) and of both calcified (19.3 vs. 9.2%, p < 0.001) and noncalcified or mixed types (14.4 vs. 7.0%; p < 0.001); the ratio of proximal-to-distal relative plaque distribution (calculated as LM/proximal vs. mid/distal/branches) was lower for diabetics (0.75 vs. 1.04; p = 0.009).
1251 23421427 Treatment of VSMCs with PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor)-BB resulted in decreased expression of the contractile phenotype markers calponin and α-smooth muscle actin and up-regulation of the synthetic phenotype markers osteopontin and vimentin.

1254 23557702 Hyperglycemia is known to activate protein kinase C (PKC), affecting the expression and activity of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF).
1255 23557702 VEGF and PDGF mRNA and protein expression were decreased in the muscles of diabetic Prkcd(+/+) mice and were normalized in diabetic Prkcd(-/-) mice.
1256 23557702 Furthermore, phosphorylation of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and PDGF receptor-β (PDGFR-β) were blunted in diabetic Prkcd(+/+) mice but elevated in diabetic Prkcd(-/-) mice.
1257 23557702 The inhibition of VEGFR2 and PDGFR-β activity was associated with increased SHP-1 expression.
1258 23577003 We have provided an overview of functional BRET studies associated with the RTK superfamily involving: neurotrophic receptors [e.g., tropomyosin-related kinase (Trk) and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR)]; insulinotropic receptors [e.g., insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR)] and growth factor receptors [e.g., ErbB receptors including the EGFR, the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and the c-kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)].
1259 23577003 In addition, we review BRET-mediated studies of other tyrosine kinase-associated receptors including cytokine receptors, i.e., leptin receptor (OB-R) and the growth hormone receptor (GHR).
1260 23583575 GPCR signalling is well known to proceed through several linear pathways involving activation of G proteins and their downstream signalling pathways such as activation of phospholipase C.
1261 23583575 In addition, GPCRs signal via transactivation of Protein Tyrosine Kinase receptors such as that for Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) where GPCR agonists mediate increase levels of phosphorylated Erk (pErk) the immediate downstream product of the activation of EGF receptor.
1262 23583575 It has recently been shown that this paradigm can be extended to include the GPCR transactivation of a Protein Serine/Threonine Kinase receptor, specifically the Transforming Growth Factor β Type I receptor (also known as Alk V) (TβRI) in which case GPCR activation leads to the formation of carboxy terminal polyphosphorylated Smad2 (phosphoSmad2) being the immediate downstream product of the activation of TβRI.
1263 23583575 In the example of proteoglycan synthesis stimulated by GPCR agonists such as thrombin and endothelin-1, the transactivation pathways for the EGF receptor and TβRI are both active and together account for essentially all of the response to the GPCRs.
1264 23583575 In contrast, signalling downstream of GPCRs such as increased inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3) and intracellular calcium do not have any effect on GPCR stimulated proteoglycan synthesis.
1265 23606982 In particular, the effects of tight glucose control, ultrasound therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and allograft bone incorporation have been studied extensively.
