Sonic hedgehog mediates a novel pathway of PDGF-BB– dependent vessel maturation by Qinyu Yao, Marie-Ange Renault, Candice Chapouly, Soizic Vandierdonck, Isabelle Belloc, Béatrice Jaspard-Vinassa, Jean-Marie Daniel-Lamazière, Muriel Laffargue, Aksam Merched, Claude Desgranges, and Alain-Pierre Gadeau Blood Volume 123(15): April 10, 2014 ©2014 by American Society of Hematology
Shh mediates PDGF-BB chemotactic effect on SMCs. (A) PDGF-BB–stimulated (10 ng/mL) and nonstimulated (Ctrl) SMC migration was assessed in the presence of the Smo inhibitor cyclopamine (Cyclop; 1 µmol/L), the Hh blocking antibody 5E1 (1.5 µg/mL), an siRNA di...
