Abstract excerpt
A complex profile of gene expression elicited by autocrine platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling was identified in U87 MG glioblastoma cells by microarray analysis. The most striking pattern observed was a PDGF-dependent activation of at least 25 genes involved with biosynthesis and/or uptake of cholesterol and isoprenoids, including mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl...
