Elevated vascular (VSMC) and bladder smooth muscle (BSMC) NGF are associated with altered visceral innervation in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR: hypertensive, behaviorally hyperactive) compared with control Wistar-Kyotos (WKYs). Stretch stimulates increased NGF production in BSMCs. To eluc
Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells comprise one of the primary targets of the sympathetic nervous system and have been shown to secrete nerve growth factor (NGF). There is increasing evidence that changes in the levels of NGF in the adult may underlie certain pathological conditions. To investigate
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been typically considered to be an endothelial-specific growth factor. However, it was recently demonstrated that VEGF can interact with non endothelial cells. In this study, we tested whether vascular smooth muscles cells (VSMCs) can express VEGF recept
## Abstract In previous experiments (Grotendorst et al, 1981), we showed that plateletβderived growth factor promotes the migration of smooth muscle cells in vitro. Using a βcheckerboardβ analysis, we now establish that plateletβderived growth factor (PDGF) acts as a true chemoattractant for cultur
