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 plateletβderived growth factor promotes the migration of smooth muscle cells in vitro. Using a βcheckerboardβ analysis, we now establish that plateletβderived growth factor (PDGF) acts as a true chemoattractant for cultur
The role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the control of smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation was explored in vitro by examining its effects on expression of the smooth muscle (SM) specific contractile protein SM alpha actin in cultured rat aortic SMC. Quiescent, postconfluent SMC exp
