Growth Factors & cytokins involved in reegeneration & wound healing - POD test 3

        Help!  

Question
Answer
EGF stands for   Epidermal Growth Factor  
🗑
Source of EGF   Platelets, macrophages, saliva, urine, milk, plasma  
🗑
Functions of EGF   Mitogenic to epithelial cells and fibroblasts in vitro  
🗑
This growth factor is widely distributed in tissue secretion and fluids   EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)  
🗑
TGF-alpha stands for   Transforming growth factor alpha  
🗑
Source of TGF-alpha   Macrophages, T lymphocytes, keratinocytes, and many tissues  
🗑
Functions of TGF-alpha   Stimulates replication of hepatocytes and certain epithelial cells  
🗑
HGF stands for   Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor  
🗑
Source of HGF   Mesenchymal cells  
🗑
Functions of HGF   Enhance proliferation of epithelial and endothelial cells, and of hepatocytes; increases cell motility  
🗑
VEGF stands for   Vascular endothelial cell growth factor  
🗑
Source of VEGF   Mesenchymal cells  
🗑
Functions of VEGF   Increases vascular permeability; mitogenic for endothelial cells  
🗑
PDFG stands for   Platelet-derived growth factor  
🗑
Source of PDGF   Stored in platelet alpha-granules and released upon platelet activation  
🗑
PDGF is produced by   activated macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle and tumor cells  
🗑
PDFG causes   migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and monocytes.  
🗑
FGF stands for   Fibroblast Growth Factors  
🗑
FGF causes   migration of macrophages, fibroblast and endothelial cells in damaged tissue, and migration of epithelium to form new epidermis  
🗑
TGF-beta stands for   Transforming growth factor beta  
🗑
TGF-beta is produced by   platelets, endothelial cells, lymphocytes and macrophages  
🗑
Function of TGF-beta   Stimulate fibroblast chemotaxis; stimulates production of collagen and fibronectin; decreases collagen degradation  
🗑
This peptide is a growth INHIBITORY factor in epithelial cells and fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells at high concentrations, and STIMULATORY factor in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells at low concentrations.   TGF-beta  
🗑
This growth factor is mitogenic to epithelial cells and fibroblasts in vitro.   EGF  
🗑
This growth factor causes hepatic cell division in vivo.   EGF  
🗑
This growth factor is stored in platelet a-granules and released upon platelet activation.   PDGF  
🗑
This growth factor is produced by activated macrophages, endothelial cells, smooth muscle and tumor cells.   PDGF  
🗑
This growth factor causes migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and monocytes   PDGF  
🗑
This growth factor is involved in angiogenesis and wound repair.   FGF  
🗑
This growth factor causes migration of macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells in damaged tissue.   FGF  
🗑
This growth factor causes migration of epithelium to form new epidermis during wound repair.   FGF  
🗑
These two growth factors are responsible for angiogenesis.   FGF and VEGF  
🗑
This growth factor is produced by platelets, endothelial cells, lymphocytes and macrophages   TGF-beta  
🗑
This growth factor stimulates fibroblast chemotaxis.   TGF-beta  
🗑
This growth factor stimulates production of collagen and fibronectin.   TGF-beta  
🗑
This growth factor decreases collagen degradation.   TGF-beta  
🗑
These three factors favor fibrogenesis and are functions of TGF-beta.   Fibroblast chemotaxis, production of collagen and fibronectin, decrease of collagen degradation.  
🗑
High concentrations of TGF-beta have what kind of effect in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells?   Growth inhibition  
🗑
Low concentrations of TGF-beta have what kind of effect in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells?   Growth stimulation  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
