Abstract
Proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC)are the critical links in the development of a variety of cardiovascular diseases, especially aortic diseases.Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)is a powerful mitogen released from damaged blood vessels.Among them, platelet derived growth factor BB is one of the switches that induce the phenotypic switch of vascular smooth muscle cell, but its specific molecular mechanism is not completely clear.In present paper, we review the possible mechanism of PDGF-BB induced aortic smooth muscle cell phenotype transition.
Key words:
PDGF-BB; Aortic vascular smooth muscle cells; Phenotypic switching; Signal pathway
