SUMMARY: The macrophage profibrotic cytokine, Platelet Derived Growth Factor B [PDGF(B)], is thought to play a central role in orchestrating the fibrotic response in the pathogenesis of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis. In this study, we have asked if drugs that increase intracellular cAMP and are c

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
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
