Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has been directly implicated in developmental and physiological processes, as well as in human cancer and other proliferative disorders. We have recently isolated and characterized a novel protease-activated member of the PDGF family, PDGF D. PDGF D has been shown to be proliferative for cells of mesenchymal origin, signaling through PDGF receptors. Comprehensive and systematic PDGF D transcript analysis revealed expression in many cell lines derived from ovarian, renal, and lung cancers, as well as from astrocytomas and medulloblastomas. ß PDGF receptor profiling further suggested autocrine signaling in several brain tumor cell lines. PDGF D transforming ability and tumor formation in SCID mice was further demonstrated. Exploiting a sensitive PDGF D sandwich ELISA using fully human monoclonal antibodies, PDGF D was detected at elevated levels in the sera of ovarian, renal, lung, and brain cancer patients. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed PDGF D localization to ovarian and lung tumor tissues. Together, these data demonstrate that PDGF D plays a role in certain human cancers.
