Platelet-derived growth factor-A regulates lung fibroblast S-phase entry through p27kip1 and FoxO3a
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Secondary pulmonary alveolar septal formation requires platelet derived growth factor (PDGF-A) and platelet derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRα), and their regulation influences alveolar septal areal density and thickness. Insufficient PDGFRα expression in lung fibroblasts (LF) results in failed septation. METHODS: Mice in which the endogenous PDGFRα-gene regulates expression of the green...
