## 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

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
Proliferation of smooth muscle cells from the pulmonary arteries and aortas of fetal calves is inhibited by heparin in vitro. This effect is reversible and dose dependent. Comparisons with effects of other polysaccharides indicate that only extensively sulfated polysaccharides inhibit proliferation
## Abstract Motility of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is an essential step for both normal and pathologic angiogenesis. We report here that breast tumor cells, such as MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231, can modulate this SMC migration. We present evidence that the tumor cell‐derived platelet‐derived growt
## Abstract Peritubular smooth muscle cells (PSMC) from rat testis in primary serum‐free cultures unexpectedly undergo contraction and subsequent cell hypertrophy in response to the growth factor PDGF‐BB, remaining stationary. The present study investigates the transduction pathways involved in the
