Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by vascular remodeling and sustained increase in right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP). The molecular mechanisms behind PH development remain unclear. Here, a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) attenuated by platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) was identified and its functional roles were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Using RNA-seq data and rapid amplification of cDNA ends, a lncRNA neighboring the locus of plasma membrane calcium transporting ATPase 4 (PMCA4) was identified and named lncPTSR. It is a highly-conserved nuclear lncRNA, and was downregulated in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) with PDGF-BB stimulation or hypoxia induction. Gene interruption/overexpression assays revealed that lncPTSR negatively regulates rat PASMCs proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. LncPTSR interruption in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats using adenovirus associated virus type 9 (AAV9)-mediated short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) resulted in a significant increase in RVSP and vascular remodeling in normoxic condition. LncPTSR knockdown also suppressed PMCA4 expression and attenuated the intracellular Ca2+ efflux of PASMCs in vitro and in vivo. Further studies suggest a complex cross-talk between lncPTSR and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway: inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) abolishes the PDGF-BB-mediated lncPTSR downregulation, and lncPTSR plays a feedback regulation for MAPK signaling molecules. The present study suggests that lncPTSR participates in pulmonary artery (PA) remodeling via modulating the expression of PMCA4 and intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis downstream of PDGF-BB driven MEK/ERK signaling. These results suggest lncPTSR may be a promising therapeutic target in PH treatment.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and lethal disease characterized by vascular remodeling and vasoconstriction, which is associated with increased intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i). Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is the most potent mitogen for pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and is involved in vascular remodeling during PAH development. PDGF signaling has been proved to participate in maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis of PASMCs; however, the mechanism needs to be further elucidated. Here, we illuminate that the expression of plasma membrane calcium-transporting ATPase 4 (PMCA4) was downregulated in PASMCs after PDGF-BB stimulation, which could be abolished by restraining the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK/ERK). Functionally, suppression of PMCA4 attenuated the [Ca2+]i clearance in PASMCs after Ca2+ entry, promoting cell proliferation and elevating cell locomotion through mediating formation of focal adhesion. Additionally, the expression of PMCA4 was decreased in the pulmonary artery of monocrotaline (MCT)- or hypoxia-induced PAH rats. Moreover, knockdown of PMCA4 could increase the right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and wall thickness (WT) of pulmonary artery in rats raised under normal conditions. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the importance of the PDGF/MEK/ERK/PMCA4 axis in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in PASMCs, indicating a functional role of PMCA4 in pulmonary arterial remodeling and PAH development.

Abstract
PDGF B chain or PDGF receptor (PDGFR)-beta-deficient (-/-) mice lack mesangial cells. To study responses of alpha- and beta-receptor activation to PDGF ligands, metanephric mesenchymal cells (MMCs) were established from embryonic day E11.5 wild-type (+/+) and -/- mouse embryos. PDGF BB stimulated cell migration in +/+ cells, whereas PDGF AA did not. Conversely, PDGF AA was chemotactic for -/- MMCs. The mechanism by which PDGFR-beta inhibited AA-induced migration was investigated. PDGF BB, but not PDGF AA, increased intracellular Ca(2+) and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in +/+ cells. Transfection of -/- MMCs with the wild-type beta-receptor restored cell migration and ROS generation in response to PDGF BB and inhibited AA-induced migration. Inhibition of Ca(2+) signaling facilitated PDGF AA-induced chemotaxis in the wild-type cells. The antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) or the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) abolished the BB-induced increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, suggesting that ROS act as upstream mediators of Ca(2+) in suppressing PDGF AA-induced migration. These data indicate that ROS and Ca(2+) generated by active PDGFR-beta play an essential role in suppressing PDGF AA-induced migration in +/+ MMCs. During kidney development, PDGFR beta-mediated ROS generation and Ca(2+) influx suppress PDGF AA-induced chemotaxis in metanephric mesenchyme.

Abstract
The hypothesis of this study is that the sodium pump complex acts as an intracellular signal-transducing molecule in canine vascular smooth muscle cells through its interaction with other membrane and cytoskeletal proteins. We have demonstrated that 1 nm ouabain induced transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), resulting in increased proliferation and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) uptake. Immunoprecipitation and Western blotting showed that the EGFR and Src were phosphorylated within 5 min of 10(-9) m ouabain stimulation. Both ouabain-induced DNA synthesis (BrdUrd uptake) and MAPK42/44 phosphorylation were inhibited by the Src inhibitor PP2, the EGFR kinase inhibitor AG1478, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, and the MEK1 inhibitor PD98059. Ouabain concentrations higher than 1 nm had little or no stimulating effect on proliferation or BrdUrd uptake but did minimally activate ERK1/2. Thus, low concentrations of ouabain, which do not inhibit the sodium pump sufficiently to perturb the resting cellular ionic milieu, initiate a transactivational signaling cascade leading to vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.

Abstract
Many stimuli that activate the vascular NADPH oxidase generate reactive oxygen species and increase intracellular Ca(2+), but whether NADPH oxidase activation directly affects Ca(2+) signaling is unknown. NADPH stimulated the production of superoxide anion and H(2)O(2) in human aortic endothelial cells that was inhibited by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium and was significantly attenuated in cells transiently expressing a dominant negative allele of the small GTP-binding protein Rac1, which is required for oxidase activity. In permeabilized Mag-indo 1-loaded cells, NADPH and H(2)O(2) each decreased the threshold concentration of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) required to release intracellularly stored Ca(2+) and shifted the InsP(3)-Ca(2+) release dose-response curve to the left. Concentrations of H(2)O(2) as low as 3 microm increased the sensitivity of intracellular Ca(2+) stores to InsP(3) and decreased the InsP(3) EC(50) from 423.2 +/- 54.9 to 276.9 +/- 14. 4 nm. The effect of NADPH on InsP(3)-stimulated Ca(2+) release was blocked by catalase and by diphenyleneiodonium and was not observed in cells lacking functional Rac1 protein. Thus, NADPH oxidase-derived H(2)O(2) increases the sensitivity of intracellular Ca(2+) stores to InsP(3) in human endothelial cells. Since Ca(2+)-dependent signaling pathways are critical to normal endothelial function, this effect may be of great importance in endothelial signal transduction.

Abstract
PDGF-BB induces a rapid, sustained increase in intracellular calcium levels in U-1242 MG cells. We used several calcium channel blockers to identify the types of channels involved. L channel blockers (verapamil, nimodipine, nicardipine, nitrendipine and taicatoxin) had no effect on PDGF-BB induced alterations in intracellular calcium. Blockers of P, Q and N channels (omega-agatoxin-IVA, omega-conotoxin MVIIC and omega-conotoxin GVIA) also had no effect. This indicates that these channels play an insignificant role in supplying the Ca2+ necessary for PDGF stimulated events in U-1242 MG cells. However, a T channel blocker (NDGA) and the non-specific (NS) calcium channel blockers (FFA and SK&F 9365) abolished PDGF-induced increases in intracellular calcium. This indicates that PDGF causes calcium influx through both non-specific cationic channels and T channels. To study the participation of intracellular calcium stores in this process, we used thapsigargin, caffeine and ryanodine, all of which cause depletion of intracellular calcium stores. The PDGF effect was abolished using both thapsigargin and caffeine but not ryanodine. Collectively, these data indicate that in these human glioma cells PDGF-BB induces release of intracellular calcium from caffeine- and thapsigargin-sensitive calcium stores which in turn lead to further calcium influx through both NS and T channels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB is an important vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) mitogen. PDGF-BB induces an increase in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), an activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and an increase in DNA synthesis. The increase in [Ca2+]i is thought to be an important second messenger in the intracellular signalling cascade, leading to growth of VSMC. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of the PDGF-BB-induced increase in [Ca2+]i in the activation of MAP kinase and increase in DNA synthesis. Binding of [Ca2+]i was performed by the intracellular chelator bis-(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetraacetoxymethyl ester (MAPTAM). METHODS Ca2+ levels were measured by the Fura-2 method. MAP kinase activation was determined by Western blotting. DNA synthesis was determined by measurement of incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into the cell DNA. RESULTS Administration of 50 ng/ml PDGF-BB induced an increase in [Ca2+]i, an activation of MAP kinase and an increase in DNA synthesis. In bis-(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy) ethane-N,N,N'N'-tetraacetic acid tetraacetoxymethyl ester (MAPTAM)-treated cells the PDGF-BB-induced effect on [Ca2+]i was totally blunted, whereas no effect on MAP kinase activation and DNA synthesis could be observed. CONCLUSIONS These findings show that the effect of PDGF-BB on MAP kinase activation is independent of calcium level. [Ca2+]i might be implicated in the PDGF-BB-induced mitogenic process only in conjugation with other signalling components.

Abstract
In the present study, we describe possible mechanisms by which hypercholesterolemia may contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Treatment of rat aortic smooth muscle cells for 20 hours with cholesterol-rich liposomes (500 micrograms/mL cholesterol, 100 micrograms/mL low-density lipoprotein) resulted in a 76 +/- 12% increase in total cholesterol content. The effects of cholesterol enrichment were examined by determination of changes in cell membrane fluidity. Fluidity of the cholesterol-enriched cell membranes was decreased at all temperatures between 15 degrees C and 40 degrees C. Changes in membrane fluidity in whole cell membranes represented changes in fluidity of microsomal membranes isolated by Percoll gradient ultracentrifugation. The basal [Ca2+]i and the maximal platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced [Ca2+]i was elevated by 30% and 90% in cholesterol-enriched cells, respectively. In contrast, the resting pH, and the PDGF-BB-induced stimulation of the Na+/H+ exchange were not affected in cholesterol-enriched cells. The effect of PDGF-BB on [3H]thymidine incorporation in cholesterol-enriched cells was elevated by 40% in comparison with untreated cells. Our findings show that cellular cholesterol may be involved in the development of vascular diseases via modulation of the PDGF-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and DNA synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
1. PDGF is a highly hydrophilic cationic glycoprotein (M(r) 28-35kDa) produced by platelets, monocyte/macrophages, endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells under some conditions. 2. Since its original description, PDGF has attracted much attention and it is currently believed to play a role in atherosclerosis and other vascular pathologies. 3. This review describes the vascular biology of PDGF. It particularly focuses on recent findings regarding the intracellular signals activated by PDGF in the context of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and, contraction.

Abstract
The roles of sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate in Ca2+ signaling following platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor stimulation were investigated in the oligodendrocyte cell line CEINGE cl3, using single-cell fura-2 microfluorimetry and videoimaging. Two different Ca2+ responses were observed, which differed in their delays and kinetics. The first response, which occurred after a shorter delay, exhibited a single Ca2+ peak often followed by a plateau, while the second type of response was characterized by a longer delay and by Ca2+ spikes with different frequencies and amplitudes. The latter phenomenon was never observed after stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors for ATP, ET-1, and BK. The incubation with the inhibitor of sphingosine kinase, DL-threo-dihydrosphingosine, significantly increased the percentage of cells responding to PDGF-BB exposure with Ca2+ spikes (87 versus 47%), while it did not modify the Ca2+ response elicited by exposure to ATP, ET-1, or BK. Exposure to exogenous 10 microM sphingosine or 1 microM sphingosine 1-phosphate produced oscillatory and non-oscillatory Ca2+ responses, respectively, similar to those elicited by PDGF-BB. A second application of PDGF-BB, 30 min after the first, was normally ineffective in producing a Ca2+ response. However, if the second exposure was preceded by the inhibition of sphingosine 1-phosphate formation, an oscillatory Ca2+ response occurred in all cells. We conclude that intracellular levels of sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate may differentially modulate Ca2+ signaling triggered by PDGF receptor stimulation in CEINGE cl3-transformed oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
Phosphorylated tyrosine residues in receptor tyrosine kinases serve as binding sites for signal transduction molecules. We have identified two autophosphorylation sites, Tyr-988 and Tyr-1018, in the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) alpha-receptor carboxyl-terminal tail, which are involved in binding of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma). The capacities of the Y988F and Y1018F mutant PDGF alpha-receptors, expressed in porcine aortic endothelial cells, to bind PLC-gamma are 60 and 5% of that of the wild-type receptor, respectively. Phosphorylated but not unphosphorylated peptides containing Tyr-1018 are able to compete with the intact receptor for binding to immobilized PLC-gamma SH2 domains; a phosphorylated Tyr-988 peptide competes 10 times less efficiently. The complex between PLC-gamma and the PDGF alpha-receptor is more stable than that of PLC-gamma and the PDGF beta-receptor. However, PDGF stimulation results in a smaller fraction of tyrosine-phosphorylated PLC-gamma and a smaller accumulation of inositol trisphosphate in cells expressing the alpha-receptor as compared with cells expressing the beta-receptor. We conclude that phosphorylated Tyr-988 and Tyr-1018 in the PDGF alpha-receptor carboxyl-terminal tail bind PLC-gamma, but this association leads to only a relatively low level of tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of PLC-gamma.

Abstract
Since the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced increase in cellular inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) has been found to decay to basal levels soon after the onset of PDGF exposure, it has been argued that activation of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores must be similarly transient. The possibility remains, however, that PDGF-induced release of stored Ca2+ is initiated and sustained by other second-messenger systems. To test the hypothesis that PDGF-BB initiates sustained Ca2+ release from cellular stores, we performed 4-hour 45Ca effluxes on monolayers of A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells in small, continuously perfused chambers. Isoform PDGF-BB (5 ng/mL for 30 minutes or 30 ng/mL for 15 minutes) was added to the perfusate beginning at 30 minutes of efflux. A dose-related increase in 45Ca release was sustained as long as PDGF-BB was present. Detailed kinetic analysis and nonlinear least-squares fitting of the experimental data revealed that (1) PDGF-BB induced sustained increases of 2.86-fold (5 ng/mL) and 6.50-fold (30 ng/mL) in the rate constant governing Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, (2) the apparent Km for this effect was 13.4 +/- 1.31 ng PDGF-BB/mL, and (3) the entire agonist-releasable Ca2+ store (presumably sarcoplasmic reticulum) is sensitive to PDGF-BB. These data indicate that PDGF-BB causes a sustained depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores by means of sustained activation of Ca2+ release and suggest that intraorganellar Ca2+ may be one of the signals that mediates long-term smooth muscle responses to PDGF.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) occurs as homodimers or heterodimers of related polypeptide chains PDGF-BB, -AA, and -AB. There are two receptors that bind PDGF, termed alpha and beta. The beta receptor recognizes PDGF B chain and is dimerized in response to PDGF BB. The alpha receptor recognizes PDGF B as well as A chains and can be dimerized by the three dimeric forms of PDGF AA, AB, and BB. To characterize PDGF receptor signaling mechanisms and biologic activities in human mesangial cells (MC), we explored the effects of the three PDGF isoforms on DNA synthesis, phospholipase C activation, and PDGF protooncogene induction. PDGF-BB homodimer and AB heterodimer induced a marked increase in DNA synthesis, activation of phospholipase C, and autoinduction of PDGF A and B chain mRNAs, whereas PDGF-AA homodimer was without effect. The lack of response to PDGF AA could be accounted for by down-regulation of the PDGF-alpha receptor since preincubation of MC with suramin restored PDGF AA-induced DNA synthesis. Ligand binding studies demonstrate specific binding of labeled PDGF BB and AB and to a lower extent PDGF AA isoforms to mesangial cells. These results are consistent with predominant expression of PDGF beta receptor in MC, which is linked to phospholipase-C activation. The potent biologic effects of PDGF-AB heterodimer in cells that express very few alpha receptors and do not respond to PDGF AA are somewhat inconsistent with the currently accepted model of PDGF receptor interaction and suggest the presence of additional mechanisms for PDGF isoform binding and activation.

Abstract
Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) has been shown to induce c-fos and c-myc proto-oncogenes. In the present study, we investigated the effects of genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and NiCl2, a Ca2+ influx blocker, on PDGF-induced Ca2+ transient and on expression of c-fos and c-myc mRNA. In the presence of extracellular Ca2+, PDGF induced elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and increases in c-fos and c-myc mRNA, as detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern hybridization. PDGF-induced [Ca2+]i elevation was composed of an initial transient increase (first component) followed by steady state elevation (second component). Genistein (10 microM) blocked the 1st, but not the 2nd, component of [Ca2+]i elevation induced by PDGF. NiCl2 (1 mM) and removal of extracellular Ca2+ inhibited the 2nd, but not the 1st, component. In the presence of 10 microM genistein and 1 mM NiCl2, PDGF induced c-fos and c-myc mRNA, although the [Ca2+]i elevation could be completely blocked by these two agents. These results indicate that elevation of [Ca2+]i is not a prerequisite condition for PDGF to induce c-fos and/or c-myc mRNA in rat aortic smooth muscle cells in primary culture.

Abstract
Stimulation of thymidine incorporation by basic fibroblast growth factor or epidermal growth factor treatment of cultured quiescent smooth muscle cells (rat and human) was attenuated by the concomitant treatment with interleukin-1 beta in the presence of indomethacin. Platelet-derived growth factor-AB and -BB-induced thymidine incorporation was not inhibited by the presence of the cytokine under similar experimental conditions. Elevation of nitrite levels in the conditioned medium of cultures exposed to interleukin-1 beta correlated with the inhibition of thymidine incorporation. Platelet-derived growth factor-AB and -BB inhibited the production of nitric oxide (measured as nitrite levels in conditioned medium) by cells treated simultaneously with interleukin-1 beta and growth factor. However, platelet-derived growth factor-AA neither affected nitrite production nor thymidine incorporation by smooth muscle cells. Levels of cytokine-stimulated nitrite production by smooth muscle cells were increased synergistically by the presence of fibroblast growth factors or epidermal growth factor. The inhibition of thymidine incorporation and concomitant elevation of nitrite production was abolished in the presence of nitro-L-arginine. Cultures maintained in the presence of low levels of the cytokine for 9 days were growth-inhibited, and this was reversed when culture medium was supplemented with nitro-L-arginine. The treatment of smooth muscle cells, which were grown in coculture inserts with the cytokine to induce nitric oxide production, before their combination with other quiescent layers of cells resulted in the inhibition of thymidine incorporation by this second layer of cells regardless of the growth factor used for stimulation. Nitric oxide may act as an endogenous inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation in the vessel wall, and impairment of its production may be one action of potent vascular mitogens such as platelet-derived growth factor.

Abstract
The multiple isoforms of PDGF induce fibroblastic mitogenesis through two distinct PDGF receptors, alpha and beta. The molecular mechanisms by which these alpha and beta PDGF receptors regulate gene expression are poorly understood. We present data which indicates that differential induction of c-fos gene expression by PDGF isoforms occurs through distinct PDGF alpha and beta receptor-mediated signaling pathways. Comparison of PDGF-AA with PDGF-BB stimulation showed that PDGF-BB induced prolonged expression of the c-fos gene in BALB/c-3T3 cells, but that PDGF-AA induced more potent activation of the serum response element (SRE) in transient transfection assays. PDGF-AA, which binds alpha but not beta PDGF receptors, could only induce the SRE through a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent pathway, whereas PDGF-BB, which binds both alpha and beta PDGF receptors, could also induce the SRE through a PKC-independent pathway. These results suggest that PDGF alpha receptors activate the PKC-dependent signaling pathway while PDGF beta receptors also activate a PKC-independent pathway. In addition, we found that PDGF-BB could induce another c-fos promoter element within the -90 to +10 region, suggesting that the more potent mitogenic effect and prolonged c-fos gene expression induced by PDGF-BB may result from cooperativity between more than one c-fos promoter elements.
