17 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Stored in ALPHA-granules of platelets and released after platelet aggregation during hemostasis
PDGF
PDGF stimulates
Stimulates migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, monocytes and microglia
Chemoattractant for monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils
In healing wounds, EGF is produced by
keratinocytes, activated macrophages and lymphocytes
EGF Stimulates
proliferation of fibroblasts and epidermal cells
VEGF Secreted by
mesenchymal cells upon stimulation by hypoxia, TGF-beta and PDGF
VEGF Stimulates
vasculogenesis and angiogensis
-Stimulates endothelial cell migration and proliferation and increases local vascular permeability
FGF Produced by
by activated macrophages and some endothelial cells
FGF Stimulates
growth of capillaries and is mitogenic for fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and several mesenchymal cells

-angiogenesis, wound repair, muscle and tissue development and hematopoiesis
TGF beta is produced by
by platelets, macrophages, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, astrocytes and microglia
TGF beta induces
formation of granulation tissue
TGF Beta effects
Stimulates deposition of extracellular matrix
Increase expression of integrin receptors
Regulatory effects on embyrogenesis
Growth inhibitor for most epithelial cells and leukocytes secondary to increased expression of CDK inhibitors (Cip/Kip and INK4/ARF)
Receptors for TGF-beta have
serine/threonine kinase activity
Active TGF-beta triggers phosphorylation of cytoplasmic transcription factors called
Smads
TGF beta has immunosuppresive capabilities by
suppression of lymphocyte differentiation and inhibition of the production of interleukins, interferons, TNF-alpha, GM-CSF and c-kit
Receptors with Intrinsic Tyrosine Kinase Activity
IGF, PDGF, VEGF, FGF, c-Kit and insulin
Binding induces dimerization of the receptor leading to activation of the receptor kinase. The active kinase phosphorylates downstream effectors:
Phospholipase C and PI-3 Kinase
Interleukins, interferons, erythropoietin, G-CSF, GH and PRL
Receptors transmit
extracellular signals to the nucleus by activating members of the JAK (Jannus family) kinases
JAK kinases activate cytoplasmic transcription factors called STATs that enter the nucleus and begin transcription
ADH, 5-HT, histamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, calcitonin, glucagon, PTH, ACTH and a number of pharmaceuticals
Phosphorylate through the action of
cyclic AMP (cAMP)
