2023年5月1日 · The platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) has been regarded as a significant factor in the growth, angiogenesis, and spread of metastatic tumours. It served as a target for tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitors that were developed for …

Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their tyrosine kinase receptors (PDGFRs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of tumor types and play an important role in angiogenesis.

Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGFs) are a family of four cystine-knot-type growth factors (PDGF-A, -B, -C and -D) which control the growth of connective tissue cells such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells [1, 2].

The platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases allows cells to communicate with the environment to regulate diverse cellular activities. Here, we highlight recent data investigating the structural makeup of individual PDGFRs upon activation, revealing the importance of the whole receptor in the ...

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was identified more than three decades ago as a serum growth factor for fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and glia cells (Kohler and Lipton 1974; Ross et al. 1974; Westermark and Wasteson 1976).

2022年3月31日 · This review will focus on the PDGF isoforms and their binding with the related PDGFRs, the PDGF/PDGFR signaling and regulation, and especially present strategies and inhibitors developed for cancer therapy, and the related clinical benefits and side effects.

2024年7月1日 · As an important proangiogenic factor, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptor PDGFR are highly expressed in a variety of tumors, fibrosis, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Targeting the PDGF/PDGFR pathway is therefore a promising therapeutic strategy.

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) signaling plays a crucial role in specifying mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) commitment to mesenchymal lineages. Platelet-derived growth factor signaling critically regulates postinfarction repair.

2025年3月1日 · Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) ligands and their corresponding receptors, PDGF receptor (PDGFR)α and PDGFRβ, play a crucial role in controlling diverse biological functions, including cell growth, viability and migration.

2022年3月31日 · Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), firstly identified in platelets, is an α-granule component secreted in an autocrine manner during platelet activation. PDGF has been demonstrated to be a pro-angiogenic factor, which plays an important regulatory effect on normal or diseased blood vessels [1].
