Endothelial platelet-derived growth factor-mediated activation of smooth muscle platelet-derived growth factor receptors in pulmonary arterial hypertension

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation, 2020
Platelet-derived growth factor is one of the major growth factors found in human and mammalian serum and tissues. Abnormal activation of platelet-derived growth factor signaling pathway through platelet-derived growth factor receptors may contribute to ...

Alveolar fluid in acute respiratory distress syndrome promotes fibroblast migration: role of platelet-derived growth factor pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Fibroblast migration is an initiating step in fibroproliferation; its involvement during acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome remains poorly understood. The aims of this study were: 1) to determine whether bronchoalveolar

Platelet-derived growth factor enhances platelet recovery in a murine model of radiation-induced thrombocytopenia and reduces apoptosis in megakaryocytes via its receptors and the PI3-k/Akt pathway

open access: yesHaematologica, 2010
Background Platelet-derived growth factor is involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis. Imatinib mesylate, a platelet-derived growth factor receptor inhibitor, induces thrombocytopenia in a significant proportion of patients with chronic myeloid ...

Activation of tyrosine kinases by mutation of the gatekeeper threonine. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Protein kinases targeted by small-molecule inhibitors develop resistance through mutation of the gatekeeper threonine residue of the active site. Here we show that the gatekeeper mutation in the cellular forms of c-ABL, c-SRC, platelet-derived growth ...

Activation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha contributes to liver fibrosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Chronic liver injury leads to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and loss of liver function. Liver cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States, and it is the primary risk factor for developing liver cancer.

Transcriptional Regulation of the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor B-receptor by p53 Family Members [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Aims: The platelet-derived growth factor β-receptor (PDGFRB) is critically involved in embryonic development and has a role in many diseases. In cells, signaling through PDGFRB affects growth, migration and death.

Anti-Angiogenic Treatment (Sunitinib) for Disseminated Malignant Haemangiopericytoma: A Case Study and Review of the Literature

open access: yesCase Reports in Oncology, 2011
Introduction: A meningeal haemangiopericytoma (HP) is a mesenchymal tumour that makes up less than 1% of all CNS tumours. HPs arise from pericytes and present high rates of recurrence and distant metastasis. The primary treatment option is surgery.

A Multi-Parametric Imaging Investigation of the Response of C6 Glioma Xenografts to MLN0518 (Tandutinib) Treatment. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, is essential for tumour growth; this process is stimulated by the secretion of numerous growth factors including platelet derived growth factor (PDGF).

PDGFRα promoter polymorphisms and expression patterns influence risk of development of imatinib-induced thrombocytopenia in chronic myeloid leukemia: A study from India

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2017
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor has been implicated in many malignant and non-malignant diseases. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α is a tyrosine kinase and a side target for imatinib, a revolutionary drug for the treatment of chronic ...
