Disease relevance of PDGFB

 

Psychiatry related information on PDGFB

  • We studied the relationships between structure and schizotypal features (assessed using RISC and SIS) and verbal learning and memory (measured using RAVLT) in relatives at high risk of developing schizophrenia and normal controls [6].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The SIS 2.0 and SIS-16 had good psychometric properties with support for the internal consistency and validity of both measures [7].
 

High impact information on PDGFB

 

Chemical compound and disease context of PDGFB

 

Biological context of PDGFB

  • DFSP and GCF tumors are genetically characterized by chromosomal rearrangements fusing the collagen type Ialpha1 (COLIA1) gene to the platelet-derived growth factor B-chain (PDGFB) gene [16].
  • The PDGFA and PDGFB mRNA expression in the hybrid cells was markedly suppressed, indicating that the melanoma PDGF genes are controlled in the hybrid cells by negative factors/mechanisms contributed by the fibroblast genome [11].
  • The two other members of this gene family, the PDGFB receptor and the colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF1) receptor, are closely linked on the distal half of the long arm of chromosome 5 [17].
  • It is characterized by the presence of ring chromosomes or chromosomal translocations fusing the promoter of the collagen gene COL1A1 to the platelet-derived growth factor beta-chain gene PDGFB, increasing the production of PDGF locally and promoting autocrine or paracrine tumor growth [18].
  • We speculate that the biological consequences of the mutant PDGFB allele contributed to the unique disease phenotype of the translocation patient [19].
 

Anatomical context of PDGFB

  • Identification and characterization of an essential, activating regulatory element of the human SIS/PDGFB promoter in human megakaryocytes [20].
  • The PDGFB, PDGFA, and stem cell factor cognate ligands were investigated by reverse transcription-PCR, and gene status was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization [21].
  • In total RNA isolated from lymphocytes of the translocation patient, we identified four different fusion transcripts consisting of PDGFB exons and parts of chromosome 1q24 [19].
  • Detection of COL1A1-PDGFB fusion transcripts and platelet-derived growth factor alpha and beta receptors in giant cell fibroblastoma of the postsacrococcygeal region [22].
  • A human clone, c-sis clone 8, which contains all of the v-sis-related sequences present in human DNA, was transcriptionally inactive when transfected into NIH/3T3 cells [4].
 

Associations of PDGFB with chemical compounds

  • PURPOSE: We have previously shown the presence of an activated platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor (PDGFR) B and its ligand PDGFB in a limited number of patients with clinical and radiological responses to imatinib mesylate treatment [21].
  • Immunocytochemical studies using markers specific to endothelium (Ulex europaeus I lectin, Factor VIII related antigen), and smooth muscle (alpha-smooth muscle actin), indicate that the PDGF B-chain and PDGFR beta are both expressed primarily by mesangial cells [23].
  • To test this hypothesis, a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was conducted to determine whether COL1A1-PDGFB fusion transcripts could be detected in six cases of SAF, using archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues [24].
  • The degree of inhibition of both basal and lipopolysaccharide-induced PDGF-B-chain expression increased with the extent of LDL oxidation [25].
  • Previous work in our laboratory has demonstrated that PDGF B chain mRNA expression is stimulated in microvascular endothelial cells by phorbol esters (PMA), thrombin, and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and blocked by agents that elevate cyclic AMP (cAMP) [26].
