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
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 In previous experiments (Grotendorst et al, 1981), we showed that platelet‐derived growth factor promotes the migration of smooth muscle cells in vitro. Using a “checkerboard” analysis, we now establish that platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) acts as a true chemoattractant for cultur
