Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of arterial atherosclerosis and venous neointimal hyperplasia. We examined the effects of PDGF isoforms on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from arterial and venous origins in order to further understand the differential responsiveness of these vasculatures to proliferative stimuli. Serum-starved human arterial and venous SMCs exhibited very different proliferative responses to PDGF isoforms. Whereas, proliferation of arterial SMCs was strongly stimulated by PDGF-AA, venous SMCs showed no proliferative response to PDGF-AA, but instead demonstrated a significantly greater proliferative response to PDGF-BB than arterial SMCs. Part of this difference could be attributed to differences in PDGF receptors expression. There was a 2.5-fold higher (P<0.05) density of PDGF receptor-alpha (PDGF-R alpha) and a 6.6-fold lower (P<0.05) density of PDGF-R beta expressed on arterial compared to venous SMCs. Concomitant with an increased proliferative response to PDGF-AA in arterial SMCs was a marked PDGF-Ra activation, enhanced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt, a transient activation of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK), and a significant reduction in expression of the cell-cycle inhibitor p27(kip1). This pattern of signaling pathway changes was not observed in venous SMCs. No phosphorylation of PDGF-R alpha was detected after venous SMC exposure to PDGF-AA, but there was enhanced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt in venous SMCs, similar to that seen in the arterial SMCs. PDGF-BB stimulation of venous SMC resulted in PDGF-Rb activation as well as transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R); transactivation of EGF-R was not observed in arterial SMCs. These results may provide an explanation for the differential susceptibility to proliferative vascular diseases of arteries and veins. J. Cell. Biochem. 112: 289-298, 2011. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
