Gene Name PDGFRA
Chromosomal Location 4q12
Family Protein kinase superfamily, Tyr protein kinase family, CSF-1/PDGF receptor subfamily
Function
Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for PDGFA, PDGFB and PDGFC and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival and chemotaxis. Depending on the context, promotes or inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration. Plays an important role in the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Required for normal skeleton development and cephalic closure during embryonic development. Required for normal development of the mucosa lining the gastrointestinal tract, and for recruitment of mesenchymal cells and normal development of intestinal villi. Plays a role in cell migration and chemotaxis in wound healing. Plays a role in platelet activation, secretion of agonists from platelet granules, and in thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Binding of its cognate ligands - homodimeric PDGFA, homodimeric PDGFB, heterodimers formed by PDGFA and PDGFB or homodimeric PDGFC -leads to the activation of several signaling cascades; the response depends on the nature of the bound ligand and is modulated by the formation of heterodimers between PDGFRA and PDGFRB. Phosphorylates PIK3R1, PLCG1, and PTPN11. Activation of PLCG1 leads to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, mobilization of cytosolic Ca(2+) and the activation of protein kinase C. Phosphorylates PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and thereby mediates activation of the AKT1 signaling pathway. Mediates activation of HRAS and of the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. Promotes activation of STAT family members STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5A and/or STAT5B. Receptor signaling is down-regulated by protein phosphatases that dephosphorylate the receptor and its down-stream effectors, and by rapid internalization of the activated receptor.

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A Methylation Regulator of This Target Gene [1]
Response Summary Specific depletion of METTL3 in pericytes suppressed diabetes-induced pericyte dysfunction and Microvascular complication in vivo. METTL3 overexpression impaired pericyte function by repressing PKC-Eta, FAT4, and Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) expression, which was mediated by YTHDF2-dependent mRNA decay.
Target Regulation Down regulation
Responsed Disease Diseases of arteries or arterioles ICD-11: BD5Y
In-vitro Model ACBRI-183 (Human retinal pericytes (ACBRI-183) was obtained from Cell Systems Corp. (CSC, USA))
In-vivo Model Mettl3 floxed mice were purchased from GemPharmatech Co. Ltd (Nanjing, China). Pdgfr-Beta-Cre mice were purchased from Beijing Biocytogen Co. Ltd (Beijing, China) generated on C57BL/6J background. Mettl3 flox/flox mice were crossed with Pdgfr-Beta-Cre mice to generate pericyte-specific Mettl3 knockout mice. All mice were bred under the specific-pathogen free condition with free access to diet and water or their nursing mothers with alternating 12/12 light-dark cycle (lights on at 08:00 and off at 20:00).
