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
The pathogenesis of glornerular scarring i s multifactional; recent evidence suggests that transforming growth factor P (TGFP), a pleiotropic cicatricial mediator, may promote mesangial sclerosis by enhancing the production of extracellular matrix proteins.

Steady-state levels of rat central nervous system (CNS) platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A-and B-chain mRNAs were measured by a polymerase chain reaction method employing a synthetic gene internal standard, and the rates of transcription of PDGF A-and B-chain genes in CNS were estimated by a nu
