Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signals a diversity of cellular responses in vitro, including cell proliferation, survival, transformation, and chemotaxis. PDGF functions as a "competence factor" to induce a set of early response genes expressed in G1 including p21WAF1/CIP1, a functional mediator of the tumor suppressor gene p53 in G1/S checkpoint. For PDGF-stimulated cells to progress beyond G1 and transit...
