Treatment of VSMCs with 10 and 50 microM EGCG resulted in an 80% and a complete inhibition of the PDGF-BB-induced activation of MAP kinase isoforms, respectively.

Therefore, we investigated the inhibitory effects of EGCG on RPE cell migration induced by PDGF-BB , an isoform of PDGF, and adhesion by fibronectin.

Furthermore, EGCG inhibited TGF-β or PDGF-BB-induced phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 MAP kinase and NF-κB activity in SSc fibroblasts.

Green tea catechins decreased [3H]thymidine incorporation stimulated with PDGF-BB dose dependently.
It has been shown that green tea catechins (GTC) suppress proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is a major constituent of GTC, selectively inhibits the platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB)-induced intracellular signaling transduction pathway.
