For example, PPARγ agonists were shown to protect cytokine-induced PCD in cerebellar granule cells [ 59 ] . These agents could also block the neurotoxic effects caused by β-amyloid activated microglia, and thus might be beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease [ 60 ] . In non-neuronal tissues, PPARα activation was shown to suppress both spontaneous rat hepatocyte PCD and the PCD induced by transforming growth factor-β1 [ 61 ] .
Figure 3can then represent a very complex network of intramolecular and intermolecular actions controlling the G1/S cell-cycle transition [ 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14], including Cdk2, cyclins A and E, the inhibitor proteins p21 and p27 and inputs from transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) stimulation and DNA damage processes.
In the absence of SPARC, expression of transforming growth factor-β1 and type I collagen is down-regulated in kidney mesangial cells [ 15 ] . The expression of cell surface receptor for insulin-like growth factor I in SPARC-null embryonic fibroblasts is also diminished [ 16 ] . Studies with SPARC-null cells have confirmed that SPARC functions in cell proliferation.
The myeloblastin protein displays anti-proliferative properties and is also a key protease involved in factor-independent growth of hematopoietic cells [ 18 ] . Overexpression of myeloblastin has been linked to multifunctional cytokine transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) a known regulator of angiogenesis.
Various growth factors such as angiopoietin (ang)-1, platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor-β as well as VEGF-A are also involved in arteriogenesis, and it may therefore be necessary to use combinations of these factors to obtain stable and mature vessels (Fig.
