Directional induction of metanephric mesenchymal (MM) cell vasculogenesis. MM cells express platelet-derived growth factor B chain (PDGF-BB) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A receptors [PDGF receptor (PDGFR)-β and VEGF receptor 2 (Flk-1)]. Conversely, ureteric bud (UB) cells express the cognate ligands. Immuoblotting (A) and RT-PCR (B). Data are expressed as means ± SEM. n = 3 independent experiments. ∗P < 0.05 MM cells versus UB cells. GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
