We investigated the interaction of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) with wild-type and mutant forms of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor both in vivo and in vitro. After PDGF treatment of CHO cell lines expressing wild-type or either of two mutant (delta Ki and Y825F) PDGF receptors, PLC-gamma became tyrosine phosphorylated and associated with the receptor proteins. The receptor association and tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma correlated with the ability of these receptors to mediate ligand-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover. However, both the delta Ki and Y825F mutant receptors were deficient in transmitting mitogenic signals, suggesting that the PDGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and receptor association of PLC-gamma are not sufficient to account for the growth-stimulatory activity of PDGF. Wild-type and delta Ki mutant PDGF receptor proteins expressed with recombinant baculovirus vectors also associated in vitro with mammalian PLC-gamma. However, baculovirus-expressed c-fms, v-fms, c-src, and Raf-1 proteins failed to associate with PLC-gamma under similar conditions. Phosphatase treatment of the baculovirus-expressed PDGF receptor greatly decreased its association with PLC-gamma. This requirement for receptor phosphorylation was also observed in vivo, where PLC-gamma could not associate with a mutant PDGF receptor (K602A) defective in autophosphorylation. PLC-gamma also coimmunoprecipitated with two other putative receptor substrates, the serine-threonine kinase Raf-1 and the 85-kilodalton phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase, presumably through its association with the ligand-activated receptor. Furthermore, baculovirus-expressed Raf-1 phosphorylated purified PLC-gamma in vitro at sites which showed increased serine phosphorylation in vivo in response to PDGF. These results suggest that PDGF directly influences PLC activity by inducing the association of PLC-gamma with a receptor signaling complex, resulting in increased tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma.

We have investigated the effect of shear stress on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A and B chain mRNA levels in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (hUVEC). The levels of both PDGF A and B mRNA in hUVEC were increased by a physiological shear stress (16 dyn/cm2), reaching a maximum approximately 1.5-2 h after the onset of shear stress and returning almost to control values at 4 h. The peak levels showed a more than 10-fold enhancement for PDGF A mRNA and a 2- to 3-fold increase for PDGF B mRNA (P less than 0.05). PDGF A mRNA also showed a shear-dependent increase from 0 to 6 dyn/cm2 (P less than 0.05) and then plateaued from 6 to 51 dyn/cm2. PDGF B mRNA levels were elevated as shear stress increased from 0 to 6 dyn/cm2 then declined gradually to a minimum at 31 dyn/cm2 (P less than 0.05) and increased again when shear stress rose to 51 dyn/cm2 (P less than 0.05). PDGF, a potent smooth muscle cell mitogen and vasoconstrictor, released from the endothelium may regulate the blood flow in vivo. The shear stress-dependent elevation of PDGF A and B mRNA in endothelial cells may be involved in the adaptation of blood vessels to flow mediated by the endothelium.
