In this project the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on NF-kappa B activation and the promotion of PDGF-B mRNA expression in human endothelial cell line ECV304 was studied

In this study, we cloned partial complementary DNAs ( cDNAs ) encoding bovine PDGF-B and examined the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) , which is also implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, on PDGF-B gene expression in bovine cultured retinal pericytes

Interestingly, TGF-beta negatively regulated Ang1 expression induced by the PDGF-B stimulation in SMCs. Reciprocally, we observed that stimulation of ECs with either Ang1 or TGF-beta slightly downregulated PDGF expression
