Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including stromelysin-1 (MMP-3). Induction of these expressions is known to occur during the course of atherosclerosis, tumor invasion, and metastasis. We investigated PDGF-alpha receptor (alphaR)- and beta receptor (betaR)-mediated signaling pathways for the expression of MMP-3 and invasion activity using porcine...
