## Abstract Plateletβderived growth factor (PDGF) is a major polypeptide mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin such as fibroblasts. Chondroitin sulfate chains (CS), which are abundant in the extracellular matrix have been shown to physically interact with PDGFβBB modulating its biological functio
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
Our previous studies have shown that steady shear stress causes a transient increase of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A and B chain mRNA levels in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In the present study, we elucidated the signaling pathway of shear stress in HUVEC by examining t
