Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is the most potent mitogen for hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the lipid-derived second messenger phosphatidic acid (PA) in mediating this effect and, in particular, to determine its interaction with t

Structural changes within the blood vessel wall such as hyperplasia and hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells are important factors in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Humoral growth factors such as angiotensin II (AII) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) may participate in the re
