Growth factors of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDCF) family have been thought to possess autocrine functions in certain neoplasms of mesenchymal and glial origin. This notion has been based on observations that these tumors express PDGF genes and produce PDGF-like growth factors. Correspondin

Mutations in the WTI tumor suppressor gene are known t o contribute t o the development of Wilms' tumor (WT) and associated gonadal abnormalities. WTI is expressed principally in the fetal kidney, developing gonads, and spleen and also in the mesothelium, which lines the coelomic cavities. These tis
MBA-2, bone marrow-derived endothelial stromal cells, express platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A and B chain mRNAs and secrete PDCF activity that is induced by TGF-beta. Either chain of the PDGF molecule could modulate hematopoiesis and stromal cell growth. lntracellular pathways that regulate
