Abstract

Regulation of fibronectin (FN) by Platelet‐derived Growth Factor‐BB (PDGF‐BB) and Insulin‐like Growth Factor‐I (IGF‐I) in cultured rat thoracic aortic adventitial fibroblasts were examined. PDGF‐BB enhances FN mRNA levels in a time and concentration‐dependent fashion. The effect of IGF‐I on PDGF‐BB‐induced FN levels was also examined. There was a larger increase in FN mRNA levels (4‐fold) in the cells treated with both IGF‐I and PDGF‐BB than with either IGF‐I (2‐fold) or PDGF‐BB (2‐fold) alone. The effects of PDGF‐BB and IGF‐I on FN levels were examined. There was a larger increase in FN levels (135%) in the cells treated with both PDGF‐BB and IGF‐I than with either PDGF‐BB (43%) or IGF‐I (45%) alone. Regulation of adventitial fibroblast FN may lead to blood vessel diseases and/or angiogenesis.

Myelinogenesis in rat brain aggregate cultures is associated with a pattern of growth factor mRNA expression comparable to that of the developing brain. The rate of increase in platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA) expression was greatest just before the detection of myelin basic protein (MBP)
