Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB stimulates fibroblast-mediated contraction of collagen gels, as well as migration of fibroblasts through collagen-coated membranes. In the present study we examined effects of PDGF-BB stimulation on the synthesis of collagen-binding beta 1 integrins by human diploid fibroblasts (AG 1518). PDGF-BB stimulation led to an increase in the rare of integrin alpha 2-subunit synthesis. In contrast, synthesis of the integrin alpha 1- or alpha 3-subunits were not affected by PDGF-BB stimulation. Furthermore, levels of alpha 2-subunit mRNA relative to levels of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA increased after PDGF-BB stimulation. The latter finding is compatible with PDGF-BB stimulating transcription of the alpha 2-subunit gene. PDGF-BB stimulation did not influence the relation between levels of integrin beta 1-subunit mRNA and GAPDH mRNA. In addition, the rate of synthesis or post-translational processing of the integrin beta 1-subunit were not, or only marginally, affected by PDGF-BB stimulation. It is likely that the motility response elicited in fibroblasts by PDGF-BB involves such alterations in the synthesis of the alpha 2-subunit of the alpha 2 beta 1 collagen-binding in...Continue Reading
