Tumor cells may stimulate their own proliferation through an autocrine mechanism by simultaneously producing growth factors and growth factor receptors. We now report that numerous human tumor-derived cell lines simultaneously express the genes for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A and B chain

In this study we analyzed the expression of mRNA for PDGF-B and PDGF B-type receptor (PDGFrecB) in 42 biopsy specimens from human astrocytic gliomas and other brain tumors. All gliomas expressed PDGF-B mRNA at higher levels than found in peritumoral and normal nervous tissues. Levels of PDGF-B trans
The present studies investigated the expression of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and PDGF-receptor genes in human meningiomas. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that all meningiomas examined expressed both the c-sidPDGF-2 proto-oncogene and the PDGF-receptor gene. In situ hybridization
