Rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were transfected with a vector encoding a truncated human PDGF beta receptor or the full-length human PDGF beta receptor. Cells stably expressing the truncated human PDGF beta receptor or the full-length human PDGF beta receptor were selected and the effect of PDGF BB on DNA synthesis in these cells was studied. Cells expressing the full-length PDGF beta receptor entered DNA synthesis normally, however, cells expressing the truncated PDGF beta receptor failed to enter DNA synthesis in response to PDGF BB. These data show that the mitogenic response of rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells to PDGF BB can be inhibited by the expression of a truncated PDGF beta receptor.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001011 Aorta The main trunk of the systemic arteries. Aortas
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
