Secretion of a new growth factor, smooth muscle cell derived growth factor, distinct from platelet derived growth factor by cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells. 1988
Second Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Chiba University, Japan.
In attempts to determine the mechanism of proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) in intimal atheromatous lesions, autocrine secretion of growth factors by SMC has recently received much attention. Here we report a new growth factor named smooth muscle cell derived growth factor (SDGF). Cultured rabbit medial SMC secreted SDGF for 1 week during their incubation in serum-free media only after at least 4 passages. SDGF differed from platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) physicochemically, immunologically, and biologically. The properties of SDGF also seemed different from those of other known growth factors that stimulate the proliferation of mesenchymal cells.
