We investigated the effects of PDGF on DNA synthesis and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity, and demonstrated that the adult intimal SMC was concentration-dependently stimulated by all PDGF isoforms in terms of both [3H]thymidine incorporation and MAP kinase activation, with PDGF-BB and -AB being more potent than PDGF-AA. The intimal SMCs and the neonatal SMCs showed a similar response with regard to...
