A naturally occurring carotenoid, lutein, reduces PDGF and H(2)O(2 )signaling and compromised migration in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells

BACKGROUND: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent stimulator of growth and motility of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Abnormalities of PDGF/PDGF receptor (PDGFR) are thought to contribute to vascular diseases and malignancy. We previously showed that a carotenoid, lycopene, can di...
