Clonally derived cultures of porcine skeletal muscle satellite cells were developed. The mitogenic effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFCF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and -Ill, and platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF-AA and -BB) were examined. Indivi
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-@) stimulated porcine satellite cell proliferation in basal serum-free medium by 25%, but inhibited growth in serumcontaining medium by 58%. The effect of TGF-@ on cell proliferation in serumfree medium was examined in combination with the following human recom
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is characterized by the formation of neurofibromas, benign tumors of the peripheral nerve consisting essentially of Schwann cells, which can sometimes turn malignant to form neurofibrosarcomas. The mechanism of progression toward a malignant phenotype remains largely u
To examine the role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the in vivo regulation of Schwann cell proliferation, steady-state levels of mRNAs encoding PDGF A and B chains, and PDGF a and p receptors were measured in immature and adult rat sciatic nerves and in cultured rat Schwann cells. PDGF B
To understand the intimate axon-Schwann cell relationship required for the accurate development and regeneration of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), it is important to elucidate the repertoire of growth factors involved in this tightly regulated bi-directional dialogue. We focused on the identif
