Aggregating Human Platelets Stimulate Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Cultured Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Through a Synergistic Effect of Transforming Growth Factor-β 1 and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor AB

Abstract: Aggregating human platelets induce VEGF mRNA expression in cultured SMC and the subsequent release of VEGF protein. This effect can be attributed to a supra-additive action of PDGF(AB) and TGF-beta(1) and may represent a novel mechanism by which platelets contribute to the recovery of the endothelial lining at sites of balloon-injured arteries.

“…9,10 Kamihata et al 11 and Shintani et al 12 have shown that BM mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) contain not only EPCs but also angiogenic factors and cytokines and that implantation of BM-MNCs into ischemic tissues augments collateral vessel formation. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs), 13 polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), 14 and platelets 15,16 synthesize and release high levels of VEGF as well as PDGF and transforming growth factor (TGF)-␤, known to be prerequisites for the investment of stable vessels with pericytes. 17 PMNs have also been shown to release various angiogenic cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-␣, 18 and MMPs 19 and to enhance proliferation and tubule formation of endothelial cells in vitro.…”

“…VEGF 165 may act as a paracrine hormone to stimulate migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (21). However, TGF-␤ 1 may induce VEGF 165 expression (8) and synergistically with TGF-␤ 1 may increase vascular SMC proliferation (44).…”

“…Because thrombin, activated platelets, and platelet-associated growth factors enhance the mRNA expression of the HIF-1 target genes VEGF and PAI-1 in VSMCs, [22][23][24] activation of HIF-1 may represent a novel mechanism by which thrombotic factors regulate gene expression in the vascular wall. Inhibition of thrombin-induced expression, nuclear accumulation, and transactivation of HIF-1␣ by the antioxidants vitamin C, vitamin E, trolox, NAC, and PDTC indicated redox-sensitive mechanisms involved in this signaling pathway.…”
