Pathogenetic significance and possibility as a therapeutic target of platelet derived growth factor

Abstract: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one of the major mitogens and chemoattractants for mesenchymal and glial cells. Nowadays, the expression of PDGFs are recognized widely in our body, and emerging data indicate the relevance of PDGFs in the homeostatic control of systemic connective tissue as well as parenchymal cells such as neurons. Aberrant PDGF signal is primarily tumorigenic, and also regulates tumor microenvironments. The roles of the PDGF signal in tumorigenesis are diverse depending on the type o… Show more

“…Platelets contribute to sustaining proliferative signals, and cancer cells produce platelet-derived growth factors in large quantities. These growth factors are found to promote tumor progression [ 35 ]. Elevated platelet counts in peripheral blood have been found to be associated with a worse prognosis in patients with lung cancer [ 36 ].…”

“…Papadopolous and Lennartsson recently reviewed the approaches to inhibit PDGF signaling in cancer therapies and provided a detailed description of current and future therapies that target the PDGF system [11] . Indeed, beyond the neuroprotective roles discussed here, the PDGF system holds the potential to better understand and perhaps treat several non-neuronal disease states including cancer, fibrosis/connective tissue disorders, and vascular disease [12] .…”

“…Aberrant PDGF signaling is primarily tumorigenic and it regulates the surrounding micro-environment; PDG is a major mitogen and chemoattractant for mesenchymal and glial cells [21] . The contrasting profiles of autocrine versus paracrine mechanisms involve a diverse cell series of subpopulation diversities that are potentially highly characterizable within the systems of cooperative pathway dynamics.…”
