Platelet-derived growth factor

(Redirected fromPDGF)

Platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) is one among numerousgrowth factorsthat regulatecellgrowth anddivision.In particular, PDGF plays a significant role inblood vessel formation,the growth of blood vessels from already-existing blood vessel tissue, mitogenesis, i.e. proliferation, of mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, osteoblasts, tenocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells and mesenchymal stem cells as well aschemotaxis,the directed migration, of mesenchymal cells. Platelet-derived growth factor is adimericglycoproteinthat can be composed of two A subunits (PDGF-AA), two B subunits (PDGF-BB), or one of each (PDGF-AB).

PDBsumstructure summary

PDGF[1][2]is a potentmitogenfor cells ofmesenchymalorigin, includingfibroblasts,smooth muscle cellsandglial cells.In both mouse and human, the PDGF signalling network consists of five ligands, PDGF-AA through -DD (including -AB), and two receptors, PDGFR Alpha and PDGFRbeta. All PDGFs function as secreted, disulphide-linked homodimers, but only PDGFA and B can form functional heterodimers.

Though PDGF is synthesized,[3]stored (in the Alpha granules ofplatelets),[4]and released by platelets upon activation, it is also produced by other cells including smooth muscle cells, activated macrophages, and endothelial cells[5]

RecombinantPDGF is used in medicine to help healchronic ulcers,to heal ocular surface diseases and in orthopedic surgery and periodontics as an alternative to bone autograft to stimulate bone regeneration and repair.

Types and classification

edit

There are five differentisoformsof PDGF that activate cellular response through two differentreceptors.Knownligandsinclude: PDGF-AA (PDGFA), -BB (PDGFB), -CC (PDGFC), and -DD (PDGFD), and -AB (aPDGFAandPDGFBheterodimer).The ligands interact with the twotyrosine kinase receptormonomers, PDGFRα (PDGFRA) and -Rβ (PDGFRB).[6]The PDGF family also includes a few other members of the family, including theVEGF sub-family.[7]

Mechanisms

edit

Thereceptorfor PDGF,PDGFRis classified as areceptor tyrosine kinase(RTK), a type ofcell surfacereceptor. Two types of PDGFRs have been identified: Alpha -type and beta-type PDGFRs.[8]The Alpha type binds to PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, whereas the beta type PDGFR binds with high affinity to PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB.[9] PDGF binds to the PDGFR ligand binding pocket located within the second and third immunoglobulin domains.[10]Upon activation by PDGF, these receptors dimerise, and are "switched on" by auto-phosphorylationof several sites on theircytosolicdomains, which serve to mediate binding of cofactors and subsequently activatesignal transduction,for example, through thePI3Kpathway or throughreactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated activation of theSTAT3pathway.[11]Downstream effects of this include regulation ofgene expressionand thecell cycle. The role of PI3K has been investigated by several laboratories. Accumulating data suggests that, while this molecule is, in general, part of growth signaling complex, it plays a more profound role in controlling cell migration.[12] The different ligand isoforms have variable affinities for the receptor isoforms, and the receptor isoforms may variably form hetero- or homo- dimers. This leads to specificity of downstream signaling. It has been shown that thesis oncogeneis derived from the PDGF B-chaingene.PDGF-BB is the highest-affinity ligand for the PDGFR-beta; PDGFR-beta is a key marker of hepatic stellate cell activation in the process offibrogenesis.[citation needed]

Function

edit

PDGFs are mitogenic during early developmental stages, driving the proliferation of undifferentiatedmesenchymeand someprogenitorpopulations. During later maturation stages, PDGF signalling has been implicated in tissue remodelling and cellular differentiation, and in inductive events involved in patterning and morphogenesis. In addition to driving mesenchymal proliferation, PDGFs have been shown to direct the migration, differentiation and function of a variety of specialised mesenchymal and migratory cell types, both during development and in the adult animal.[13][14][15]Other growth factors in this family include vascular endothelial growth factors B and C (VEGF-B, VEGF-C)[16][17]which are active in angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, and placenta growth factor (PlGF) which is also active in angiogenesis.[18]

PDGF plays a role inembryonicdevelopment, cell proliferation, cell migration, andangiogenesis.[19]Over-expression of PDGF has been linked to severaldiseasessuch asatherosclerosis,fibrotic disorders and malignancies. Synthesis occurs due to external stimuli such as thrombin, low oxygen tension, or other cytokines and growth factors.[20]

PDGF is a required element in cellular division forfibroblasts,a type of connective tissue cell that is especially prevalent in wound healing.[20]In essence, the PDGFs allow a cell to skip theG1 checkpointsin order to divide.[21]It has been shown that in monocytes-macrophages and fibroblasts, exogenously administered PDGF stimulates chemotaxis, proliferation, and gene expression and significantly augmented the influx of inflammatory cells and fibroblasts, accelerating extracellular matrix and collagen formation and thus reducing the time for the healing process to occur.[22]

In terms of osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, comparing PDGF to epidermal growth factor (EGF), which is also implicated in stimulating cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation,[23]MSCs were shown to have stronger osteogenic differentiation into bone-forming cells when stimulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF) versus PDGF. However, comparing the signaling pathways between them reveals that the PI3K pathway is exclusively activated by PDGF, with EGF having no effect. Chemically inhibiting the PI3K pathway in PDGF-stimulated cells negates the differential effect between the two growth factors, and actually gives PDGF an edge in osteogenic differentiation.[23]Wortmanninis a PI3K-specific inhibitor, and treatment of cells with Wortmannin in combination with PDGF resulted in enhanced osteoblast differentiation compared to just PDGF alone, as well as compared to EGF.[23]These results indicate that the addition of Wortmannin can significantly increase the response of cells into an osteogenic lineage in the presence of PDGF, and thus might reduce the need for higher concentrations of PDGF or other growth factors, making PDGF a more viable growth factor for osteogenic differentiation than other, more expensive growth factors currently used in the field such as BMP2.[24]

PDGF is also known to maintain proliferation ofoligodendrocyte progenitor cells(OPCs).[25][26]It has also been shown that fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activates a signaling pathway that positively regulates the PDGF receptors in OPCs.[27]

History

edit

PDGF was one of the firstgrowth factorscharacterized,[28]and has led to an understanding of the mechanism of many growth factorsignaling pathways.[citation needed]The first engineered dominant negative protein was designed to inhibit PDGF[29]

Medicine

edit

RecombinantPDGF is used to help healchronic ulcersand in orthopedic surgery and periodontics to stimulate bone regeneration and repair.[30]PDGF may be beneficial when used by itself or especially in combination with other growth factors to stimulate soft and hard tissue healing (Lynch et al. 1987, 1989, 1991, 1995).

Research

edit

Like many other growth factors that have been linked to disease, PDGF and its receptors have provided a market forreceptor antagoniststo treat disease. Such antagonists include (but are not limited to) specificantibodiesthat target themoleculeof interest, which act only in a neutralizing manner.[31]

The "c-Sis"oncogeneis derived from PDGF.[26][32]

Age related downregulation of the PDGF receptor on islet beta cells has been demonstrated to prevent islet beta cell proliferation in both animal and human cells and its re-expression triggered beta cell proliferation and corrected glucose regulation via insulin secretion.[33][34]

A non-viral PDGF "bio patch" can regenerate missing or damaged bone by delivering DNA in a nano-sized particle directly into cells via genes. Repairing bone fractures, fi xing craniofacial defects and improving dental implants are among potential uses. The patch employs a collagen platform seeded with particles containing the genes needed for producing bone. In experiments, new bone fully covered skull wounds in test animals and stimulated growth in human bone marrowstromal cells.[35][36]

The addition of PDGF at specific time‐points has been shown to stabilise vasculature in collagen‐glycosaminoglycanscaffolds.[37]
