Platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF) in type 1 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: In 10 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was assessed using an in vitro assay based on the stimulation of DNA synthesis in the 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. beta-Thromboglobulin (beta-TG) was used as an index for platelet alpha-granules content. Platelet beta-TG content and PDGF were markedly decreased in diabetic patients while plasma beta-TG was increased as compared with control subjects. In diabetic patients, a significant negative correlation was found between … Show more

“…Platelets from diabetic patients have demonstrated reduced mitogenic activity for fibroblasts, and it has been proposed that this is due to loss of platelet PDGF in to the plasma [3,4]. Such release could impair the ability of platelets to initiate healing, and accelerate the development of diabetic complications such as angiopathy by increasing plasma-borne PDGF [3,4].…”

“…Such release could impair the ability of platelets to initiate healing, and accelerate the development of diabetic complications such as angiopathy by increasing plasma-borne PDGF [3,4]. Previous assays of PDGF concentrations in diabetic patients have lacked suitability or sensitivity for use in plasma [4,5]. An ELI-SA with a detection limit of 2 ng/ml detected PDGF in the plasma of only one of 28 diabetic patients [5].…”
