The PDGF family are potent mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin

The PDGF family are potent mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin and serve as important regulators of cell migration survival apoptosis and transformation. of cleaving PDGF-C to its active form. Increased PDGF-C expression enhances cell proliferation anchorage independent cell growth and tumor cell motility by autocrine signaling. In addition MCF7-produced PDGF-C induces fibroblast cell migration… Continue reading The PDGF family are potent mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin
