Platelet-derived growth factor-BB stimulates hypertrophy of peritubular smooth muscle cells from rat testis in primary cultures.

Endocrinology - 1 Aug 2000

Chiarenza C, Filippini A, Tripiciano A, Beccari E, Palombi F

Abstract excerpt

The tunica propria of seminiferous tubules contains a particular type of smooth muscle cell (myoid cells) arranged in a contractile epithelioid layer that is responsible for sperm and tubular fluid flow. Unlike other types of smooth muscle (SM) cells, highly purified populations of peritubular smooth muscle cells (PSMC) survive and maintain their contractile phenotype in primary cultures in controlled conditions....
