Disease relevance of PDGFA

 

Psychiatry related information on PDGFA

  • These findings of the inappropriate coexpression of a potent mitogen, PDGF, and its receptor in lung cancer epithelial cells suggest the presence of a powerful in vivo mechanism contributing to the self-stimulation and unregulated growth of lung cancer tumor cells [6].
  • We suggest that a local impairment of the PDGF/PDGFR system may contribute to CC fibrosis, which is an established cause of erectile dysfunction in man [7].
  • In contrast, increased PDGF-A expression in vivo increases tumor incidence and growth rate and decreases the latency period to tumor formation whereas abrogation of PDGF-A expression decreases tumor incidence and increases latency [8].
  • However, the response latency seen with both PDGF and EGF was greater for senescent cells [9].
  • This critical period comprised the interval of approximately 10-20 h after PDGF addition and especially the early part of this interval [10].
 

High impact information on PDGFA

 

Chemical compound and disease context of PDGFA

  • The effects of PDGF/IL-1beta costimulation on contractile marker expression and Akt and p70S6K phosphorylation were blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002 and by adenovirus expressing a dominant-negative Akt, and they were mimicked by constitutively active Akt [12].
  • The functional significance of PDGF autocrine signaling in these cells was demonstrated by the fact that the CT52923 inhibited soft agar colony formation, and, when given p.o. to nude mice, it effectively reduced tumor formation by 44% (P < 0.0019) after s.c. injection of C6 glioblastoma cells [13].
  • Imatinib mesylate is also a potent inhibitor of the PDGF-R kinase and is currently being evaluated for the treatment of PDGF-responsive tumors such as prostate cancer [14].
  • PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that progression of androgen sensitive prostate cancer is dependent on growth factors, such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), and inhibition of PDGF receptor (PDGF-R) with imatinib will induce anti-tumor activity [15].
  • Preoperative administration of GnRH-a plus tibolone to premenopausal women with uterine fibroids: evaluation of the clinical response, the immunohistochemical expression of PDGF, bFGF and VEGF and the vascular pattern [16].
 

Biological context of PDGFA

 

Anatomical context of PDGFA

 

Associations of PDGFA with chemical compounds

  • Also, angiotensin II induced expression of KLF5, which in turn activated platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) expression [26].
  • The extracellular glycoprotein SPARC interacts with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB and -BB and inhibits the binding of PDGF to its receptors [27].
  • The APP-Gal4 processing induced by PDGF is dependent on the gamma-secretase activity, being abolished by an inhibitor of this enzyme, and is the consequence of the activation of a pathway downstream of the PDGF-receptor, which includes the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src and the small G-protein Rac1 [28].
  • Immunohistochemistry was correlated with in situ hybridization on adjacent, formalin fixed tissue sections from nephrectomies utilizing riboprobes made from PDGF-A and -B chain cDNA [29].
  • Significant correlations were observed between the urinary protein level and the mRNA level of PDGF-beta receptor expression and PDGF B-chain expression, and between the serum creatinine level and the mRNA level of PDGF-beta receptor expression [30].
 

Physical interactions of PDGFA

  • They do not however, exclude other domains of the PDGF A or B chains as additional binding sites for heparin nor do they exclude the possibility that heparin and the PDGF receptor share a common binding site [31].
  • Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed KLF5/BTEB2 to be induced and to bind the promoter of the PDGF-A gene in response to angiotensin II stimulation [32].
  • METHODS: Purified TSP-1 was analyzed for bound PDGF [33].
  • A chimeric receptor consisting of an epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor ligand-binding domain and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor transmembrane and cytoplasmic signalling domains has been constructed and shown to be fully functional in phosphorylation, mitogenesis, transformation, Ca2+ release, and pH change assays [34].
  • Similar results were obtained with 125I-PDGF isoforms binding to immobilized bovine alpha 2M and alpha 2M-methylamine [35].
 

Enzymatic interactions of PDGFA

  • Our data indicate that S6 kinase is recruited into a complex with RTKs and src and becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine/s in response to PDGF or serum [36].
  • Third, those fusion proteins that associated with the PDGF receptor also became phosphorylated in vivo following PDGF treatment, and in in vitro kinase assays, suggesting that the amino-terminal half of Fyn contains the sites of PDGF-stimulated phosphorylation [37].
  • Previously, it had been shown that PLC-gamma 1 was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by the agonist-occupied platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in cells other than platelets [38].
 

Co-localisations of PDGFA

  • Double-label assays showed that PDGFR beta was often colocalized with each PDGF ligand, especially in pigmented cells [39].
 

Regulatory relationships of PDGFA

 

Other interactions of PDGFA

  • We describe here a procedure for the preparation of homogeneous ODGF, and provide evidence that this factor, which binds to the PDGF receptor, has a structure similar to a homodimer of PDGF A-chains [45].
  • Furthermore, anti-PDGF antibody partially abrogates the mitogenic effect of EGF, suggesting that mitogen-stimulated PDGF synthesis in mesangial cells is at least partly responsible for cell growth induced by other growth factors [40].
  • Rat skeletal myoblasts and arterial smooth muscle cells express the gene for the A chain but not the gene for the B chain (c-sis) of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and produce a PDGF-like protein [46].
  • Unlike in several other cells, exogenously added TGF-beta 1 or 2 affected neither TGF-beta nor PDGF RNA expression in K562 cells [47].
  • Expression of mRNA-encoding transforming growth factors alpha and beta (TGF alpha and beta), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) A and B chains was examined in 63 human gastric biopsies [48].
