Platelet derived growth factor and subarachnoid haemorrage: A study on cisternal cerebrospinal fluid

Abstract: Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) was identified as a powerful mitogenic growth factor which is released from activated platelets and has a marked activity as vasoconstrictor agent. In the present study we have measured cisternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of PDGF in 72 patients operated on for intracranial aneurysm in order to verify whether it might be related to the clinical aspects of SAH with special regard to symptomatic vasospasm. CSF samples were obtained at surgery by cisternal puncture of t… Show more

“…They are involved in a wide range of biochemical processes, including mitosis, would healing, vessel formation, and vasoconstriction. [25][26][27] Previously, PDGF levels and outcomes after aSAH have been reported 28,29 ; however, our findings pertaining to interactions between PDGFs, CCL5, sCD40L, 30 and CXCL1P1 are previously undescribed and warrant further investigation.

“…16,40 Furthermore, it has been reported that levels of PDGF-BB concentration in the CSF in the acute phase of SAH patients were significantly higher in patients with rather than without symptomatic vasospasm. 41 Direct vasoconstrictive effects on arteries by exogenous PDGF are controversial in the literature. Recombinant PDGF has caused potent concentration-dependent contraction on rat aortic strips within 2 minutes after the application; however, it did not constrict rat intracerebral arterioles (perforating arteries) in vitro.…”
