Structural changes within the blood vessel wall such as hyperplasia and hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells are important factors in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Humoral growth factors such as angiotensin II (AII) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) may participate in the re

## Abstract Motility of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is an essential step for both normal and pathologic angiogenesis. We report here that breast tumor cells, such as MCFβ7 and MDAβMBβ231, can modulate this SMC migration. We present evidence that the tumor cellβderived plateletβderived growt
We have examined the ability of transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-p1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to regulate the expression of various integrins in cultured rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). We found that expression of the a,p3 integrin complex was induced by both grow
## Abstract Peritubular smooth muscle cells (PSMC) from rat testis in primary serumβfree cultures unexpectedly undergo contraction and subsequent cell hypertrophy in response to the growth factor PDGFβBB, remaining stationary. The present study investigates the transduction pathways involved in the
