Enhanced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling in glioma drives its development and progression. In this study, we define a unique role for stroma-derived PDGF signaling in maintaining tumor homeostasis within the glioma microenvironment. Large numbers of PDGF receptor-α (PDGFRα)-expressing stromal cells derived from oligodendrocytes progenitor cells (OPC) were discovered at the invasive front of high-grade gliomas, in which they exhibited a unique perivascular distribution. In PDGFRα- ...[more]
