Arterial Wall Hypertrophy and PDGF-A Expression in One-Kidney, One-Clip Hypertension and Angiotensin II Infusion Are Mediated By Elevated Arterial Pressure
… by AT1 receptor inhibition. In addition, PDGF-A mRNA was elevated in arterial walls of hypertrophied vessels. This effect was associated with elevated arterial pressure, but not with angiotensin II infusion. This PDGF-A expression was partially reduced by AT1 receptor inhibition in the …

Characterization of an Alternatively Spliced Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Variant During Myelin Synthesis
… spliced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A-chain isoform was detected in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neuron/Schwann cell cocultures and shown to regulate myelin synthesis. mRNA transcripts of the long-form PDGF-A chain variant (LF-PDGF-A) were detected by RT-PCR in cocultures. Its …

Contribution of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide to Carbon Nanotube- and Vanadium Pentoxide-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats
… platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-Rα) in rat lung fibroblasts (RLF). PDGF, a potent mitogen and chemoattractant for mesenchymal cells, is an important mediator in fibrotic lung diseases. This dissertation examines the effects of pre-existing inflammation, induced by LPS, on …
