cellular
• apoptotic cell numbers increase from 56.9% from 23.3% in wild-type when Cre-transfected dermal fibrblasts are cultured
• when cultured Cre-transfected cells are treated with H2O2 following treatement with 1nM human PDGFB, whereas wild-type cells are protected from hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death by 1nM PDGFB
|
• after adenoviral-Cre transfection of dermal fibroblasts, proliferation is significantly decreased in response to 1nM human PDGFB or 10% fetal bovine serum, FBS
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in vitro repair of a scratch wound is inhibited in Cre-transfected dermal fibroblasts; a scratch wound in a cell monolayer remains unclosed after 48 hours in culture with Pdgfb, whereas the wound is closed in wild-type cultures and significantly reduced in wild-type cultures with 10% FBS after 48 hours; closure is almost completely suppressed after culture with 10% FBS
