Background

Platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGF-C), also named spinal cord derived growth factor (SCDGF) and follotain, is a member of the PDGF family that binds to the PDGF receptor alpha alpha and alpha beta . PDGF-C is a growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. It is a potent mitogen and chemoattractant for cells of mesenchymal origin. It is also required for normal skeleton formation during embryonic development, especially for normal development of the craniofacial skeleton and for normal development of the palate. In addition, PDGF-C is required for normal skin morphogenesis during embryonic development. PDGF-C plays an important role in angiogenesis and blood vessel development and is involved in fibrotic processes, in which transformation of interstitial fibroblasts into myofibroblasts plus collagen deposition occurs. The CUB domain has mitogenic activity in coronary artery smooth muscle cells, suggesting a role beyond the maintainance of the latency of the PDGF domain. In the nucleus, PDGFC seems to have additional function. Western blot analysis of platelets identified 55 kDa and 80 kDa PDGF C forms that were secreted on platelet activation (1).
