Immunohistochemical staining revealed the presence of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) B-type receptors on capillaries of normal rat brain. Furthermore, capillary endothelial cells isolated from rat brain and grown in tissue culture bound [125I]PDGF-BB but not [125I]PDGF-AA, suggesting that they expressed B-type, but not A-type, PDGF receptors. PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, but not PDGF-AA, also stimulated incorporation of [3H]thymidine into these cells. Thus, rat brain capillary endothelial cells have functional B-type receptors, and thereby differ from endothelial cells derived from large blood vessels, that do not express PDGF receptors. Our data suggest a possible role for PDGF-BB as an angiogenic factor.
免疫组织化学染色显示,正常大鼠脑毛细血管上存在血小板源性生长因子(PDGF)B型受体。此外,从大鼠脑分离并在组织培养中生长的毛细血管内皮细胞能结合[125I]PDGF - BB,但不结合[125I]PDGF - AA,这表明它们表达B型而非A型PDGF受体。PDGF - BB和PDGF - AB(而非PDGF - AA)也能刺激这些细胞将[3H]胸腺嘧啶掺入。因此,大鼠脑毛细血管内皮细胞具有功能性B型受体,从而不同于源自大血管且不表达PDGF受体的内皮细胞。我们的数据提示PDGF - BB可能作为一种血管生成因子发挥作用。
