Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

PDGFRB encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that, upon PDGF ligand binding, dimerizes and undergoes autophosphorylation to drive the proliferation, migration, and survival of mesenchymal and vascular mural cells (PMID:35946433). PDGFRβ homodimers dimerize rapidly, generate high-amplitude phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-AKT signaling, and are preferentially recycled to the membrane, in contrast to the faster-degraded PDGFRα homodimers (PMID:35946433). Downstream of the activated receptor, PI3K/AKT signaling drives endothelial progenitor proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis (PMID:22355314), and AKT activation in tumor cells proceeds through a PDGFRβ/ACK1 axis in which the receptor phosphorylates ACK1 at Y635 to enable β-catenin nuclear translocation and cyclin D1 expression (PMID:25257795). Receptor trafficking and signal compartmentalization depend on RhoB, which routes activated PDGFRβ to perinuclear late endosomes and supports nuclear localization of Src, Akt, and ERK (PMID:17951322). The receptor's signaling output is tuned by direct physical partners: integrin α11 binds PDGFRβ ligand-dependently to promote JNK activation and CAF-driven tumor invasion (PMID:31287804), and cadherin-11 binds PDGFRβ to sensitize cells to PDGF-BB and sustain AKT-dependent proliferation and wound healing (PMID:31930567). PDGFRB transcription is repressed by c-Myc through a post-binding, HDAC-dependent step (PMID:15226411), and is positively controlled by synectin via p300-dependent histone modification at its promoter (PMID:29263300); the transcript is also targeted post-transcriptionally by miR-34a (PMID:24638095). Physiologically, PDGFRβ is essential and ligand-specific for pericyte recruitment and vessel stability in vivo (PMID:18827023), and its conserved role in vascular mural cell development is demonstrated in zebrafish, where mutants lack brain pericytes and develop cranial hemorrhage (PMID:34310924); PDGFRβ-positive cells also serve as the renal site of HIF-2α-dependent erythropoietin production (PMID:27220347). Sustained PDGFRβ activity drives pathological fibrosis, as receptor activation alone in renal mesenchymal cells is sufficient to produce mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis and interstitial fibrosis (PMID:31943786), and conversely promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration through a PI3K/AKT/EZH2 axis (PMID:31340157). Loss-of-function PDGFRB variants cause primary familial brain calcification (PFBC/IBGC) by abolishing kinase activity, reducing expression, or abrogating PDGF-BB binding (PMID:34494111, PMID:25292412), whereas ligand-independent gain-of-function variants drive infantile myofibromatosis (PMID:28334876, PMID:31017643) and fusiform cerebral aneurysms through constitutive ERK, SRC, AKT, and NF-κB signaling (PMID:31031011, PMID:37315111). Oncogenic PDGFRB fusions (TEL/PDGFRβ, EBF1-PDGFRβ) constitutively activate the kinase to transform hematopoietic cells via JNK/SAPK and STAT5 signaling (PMID:10445851, PMID:28555080).

2022 PDGFRβ homodimers dimerize more quickly and show increased autophosphorylation compared to PDGFRα homodimers in response to PDGF ligand. PDGFRα homodimers are trafficked and degraded more quickly after activation, whereas PDGFRβ homodimers are more likely to be recycled back to the cell membrane. PDGFRβ homodimer activation results in greater amplitude of phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-AKT signaling, as well as increased proliferation and migration. Inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis alters cellular trafficking and downstream signaling, particularly for PDGFRα homodimers.

2007 RhoB GTPase is required for PDGFR-β trafficking to a perinuclear late endosomal compartment and for downstream nuclear localization of Src, Akt, and ERK in vascular smooth muscle cells. In RhoB knockout cells, PDGF-stimulated PDGFR-β trafficking to late endosomes is abrogated, phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2 is reduced, and cell proliferation in response to PDGF is lost.

2014 PDGFR-β activation promotes glioma tumorigenesis via a PDGFR-β/ACK1/AKT signaling axis. PDGF treatment promotes formation of complexes containing PDGFR-β and ACK1; PDGFR-β phosphorylates ACK1 at Y635, which is required for sequential AKT activation. PDK1 interacts with ACK1 during PDGF stimulation (requiring T325 of ACK1), and this interaction is required for ACK1 binding to PDGFR-β. ACK1 Y635F or T325A mutants abolish PDGFR-β-induced AKT activation, β-catenin nuclear translocation, and cyclin D1 expression, blocking cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis.

2014 PDGFRB mutations associated with idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC) impair receptor signaling. The L658P mutant has no kinase activity and fails to activate any downstream pathways. The R987W mutant activates Akt and MAP kinases but does not induce STAT3 phosphorylation and fails to phosphorylate phospholipase Cγ, and is more rapidly degraded upon PDGF binding.

2022 PDGFRB variants associated with primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) cause receptor loss of function through distinct mechanisms: some cause complete loss of tyrosine kinase activity; the p.Pro154Ser variant decreases receptor expression and abolishes PDGF-BB ligand binding; others show partial loss of function through reduced expression or reduced signaling. These findings establish that PFBC-associated PDGFRB variants result in loss-of-function rather than gain-of-function.

2017 The EBF1-PDGFRB fusion protein causes multimerization and autophosphorylation, activates STAT5 signaling, and confers IL-7-independent cell proliferation. The transmembrane (TM) domain of PDGFRB is critically required for nuclear export of EBF1 and loss of EBF1 transcription factor function; deletion of the TM domain partially rescues EBF1 function and restores IL-7 dependence without requiring kinase inhibition. EBF1-PDGFRB synergizes with loss of IKAROS function to drive fully penetrant B-ALL in vivo.

2004 c-Myc binds to the proximal promoter of the PDGFRB gene in proliferating rat fibroblasts (demonstrated by chromatin immunoprecipitation). Promoter-binding and transcriptional repression of PDGFRB by c-Myc are separable activities: c-Myc mutants unable to repress PDGFRB still bind its promoter. Trichostatin A (TSA, HDAC inhibitor) blocks Myc repression of PDGFRB without disrupting promoter binding, indicating that repression requires a post-binding, HDAC-dependent step.

2017 Synectin regulates PDGFR-β and PDGFR-α through distinct mechanisms. For PDGFR-β, synectin knockdown reduces PDGFR-β transcription through histone modifications at the PDGFR-β promoter (dependent on p300 histone acetyltransferase, shown by chromatin IP). For PDGFR-α, synectin protects it from autophagic degradation; site-directed mutagenesis revealed that ubiquitination of specific PDGFR-α lysine residues is responsible for its autophagic degradation.

2008 PDGFRβ functions as a binding receptor for Chlamydia trachomatis at the cell surface. Inhibition of PDGFRβ by RNA interference or PDGFRβ-neutralizing antibodies significantly reduces bacterial binding. PDGFRβ is phosphorylated upon infection and recruited to the site of bacterial attachment.

2004 PDGF-BB and its receptor PDGFR-β are expressed in the developing mouse testis, with PDGFR-β specifically present on mesonephric p75NTR+ mesenchymal cells. PDGF-BB promotes migration and proliferation of these cells in vitro, and these responses involve MAPK and PI3K pathways (blocked by U0126 and LY294002, respectively). Addition of PDGF-BB to serum-free medium is sufficient to allow male urogenital ridge organ cultures to form testis cords.

2001 Both PDGFRα and PDGFRβ promote fibroblast (NIH 3T3) cell migration, and their effects are additive. PDGFRβ activation alone (via dominant-negative α-PDGFR or antisense α-PDGFR constructs) is sufficient to induce NIH 3T3 cell migration, but with lower efficiency than co-activation of both receptors. This differs from smooth muscle cells where PDGFRα antagonizes PDGFRβ-induced migration.

2008 PDGFR-β receptor (but not PDGFRα) is essential for vascular stability/pericyte recruitment in vivo.

2021 Pdgfrb signaling is conserved in zebrafish for vascular mural cell development. pdgfrb mutant zebrafish lack brain pericytes and show anatomically selective loss of vascular smooth muscle coverage (similar to mouse), but without early circulatory defects. At juvenile stages, pdgfrb mutants develop cranial hemorrhage and vessel dilation. pdgfrb mutants also display glomerular structural defects but normal hepatic stellate cell development, and defective mural cell investment on coronary vessels. pdgfb and pdgfrb mutant zebrafish genetic analysis; histology; vascular imaging; phenotypic characterization across developmental stages Developmental biology Medium 34310924

1999 The TEL/PDGFR-β (T/P) fusion protein activates JNK/SAPK signaling through the PDGFR-β tyrosine kinase activity. A specific PDGFR-β kinase inhibitor abrogates JNK/SAPK activation. A dominant-negative MKK4 mutant prevents T/P-induced JNK/SAPK activation and decreases T/P-mediated apoptosis. PI3K inhibition potentiates T/P-mediated JNK/SAPK activation and cell death, indicating that PI3K promotes survival downstream of T/P. Stable Ba/F3 cell expression of T/P fusion; PDGFR-β kinase inhibitor treatment; dominant-negative MKK4 expression; PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) treatment; JNK/SAPK activity assays; apoptosis assays Oncogene Medium 10445851
2020 Cadherin-11 (CDH11) binds directly to PDGFRβ and enhances cellular sensitivity to PDGF-BB by 10- to 100-fold, resulting in rapid and sustained AKT phosphorylation and promoting cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. Wound healing in Cdh11-/- mice is severely compromised, with decreased proliferation, AKT phosphorylation, and extracellular matrix synthesis. Co-immunoprecipitation of CDH11 with PDGFRβ; dose-response proliferation assays; AKT phosphorylation western blots; Cdh11-/- mouse wound healing model FASEB journal Medium 31930567
2017 GLI2 directly induces PDGFRB expression in gastric cancer cells by binding to the PDGFRB promoter region, confirmed by dual-luciferase assay. GLI2 or PDGFRB knockdown produces similar effects on reducing spheroid colony formation and CSC-related gene expression (CD44, Nanog, Oct4), placing PDGFRB downstream of GLI2 in a Hedgehog-driven CSC pathway. Dual-luciferase reporter assay for GLI2 binding to PDGFRB promoter; GLI2 overexpression; GLI2 and PDGFRB shRNA knockdown; spheroid colony formation assays; Western blot for CSC markers European review for medical and pharmacological sciences Low 28975979
2003 PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta function as receptors for adeno-associated virus type 5 (AAV-5) transduction. Expression of PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta correlated significantly with AAV-5 transduction permissiveness across 43 cell lines. The tropism of AAV-5 in vivo correlated with PDGFR-alpha expression pattern. cDNA microarray expression profiling across 43 cell lines categorized as permissive/nonpermissive; correlation analysis; follow-up experiments confirming PDGFR role in AAV-5 transduction Nature medicine Medium 14502277
2017 PDGFRB gain-of-function mutations (in transmembrane, juxtamembrane, and kinase domains) activate receptor signaling in the absence of ligand and transform fibroblasts in sporadic infantile myofibromatosis. All but one mutant (D850V) were sensitive to imatinib; D850V was inhibited by dasatinib and ponatinib.

2016 PDGFR-β-positive cells are the primary site of erythropoietin (EPO) production in the kidney. HIF-2α (not HIF-1α) is the essential transcription factor triggering EPO expression in PDGFR-β+ cells. Deletion of HIF-2α alone or combined with Vhl deletion in PDGFR-β+ cells abolishes EPO expression and reverses elevated hematocrit. Conditional Vhl deletion in PDGFR-β+ cells (transgenic mouse); HIF-1α and HIF-2α conditional deletion in PDGFR-β+ cells; plasma EPO and mRNA measurements; prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitor treatment Pflugers Archiv High 27220347
2003 NF2/Merlin overexpression in schwannoma cells accelerates internalization and degradation of PDGFR from the cell surface, inhibiting MAPK (Erk1/2) and PI3K (Akt) signaling downstream of PDGF. An interaction between PDGFR and EBP50/NHE-RF was found in primary human schwannoma tissue.
