Abstract
Many growth factors stimulate both a rapid increase in free calcium (Ca2+i) and protooncogene expression in cells following binding to their cell surface receptors. Increases in Ca2+i and proto-oncogene expression are thought to be important in the transduction of growth factor binding and regulation of other cellular activities (i.e. mitogenesis), yet a direct role for the interaction of these two growth factor-stimulated events has been lacking. We have previously reported the observation of changes in free calcium in the nuclear region of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) which were temporally and spatially distinct form those of the cytoplasm. We hypothesized that these changes in nuclear free calcium (Ca2+n) might activate gene expression necessary for growth factor activity and thus provide a direct link between growth factor-induced increases in Ca2+n and proto-oncogene expression. That growth factor stimulated alterations in Ca2+n may occur is strengthened by the recent description of an ATP-dependent nuclear Cna2+ pump, an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphatesensitive Ca2+ pool in liver nuclei and subcellular heterogeneity of Ca2+ transients in voltage clamped vertebrate neurons.

Abstract
Adhesion is a process that can be divided into three separate stages: (1) cell attachment, (2) cell spreading, and (3) the formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers. With each stage the adhesive strength of the cell increases. De-adhesion can be defined as the process involving the transition of the cell from a strongly adherent state, characterized by focal adhesions and stress fibers, to a state of intermediate adherence, represented by a cell that is spread, but that lacks stress fibers terminating at adhesion plaques. We propose that this modification of the structural link between the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix results in a more malleable cellular state conducive for dynamic processes such as cytokinesis, mitogenesis, and motility. Anti-adhesive proteins, including thrombospondin, tenascin, and SPARC, rapidly signal de-adhesion, potentially mediating proliferation and migration during development and wound healing. Intracellular signaling molecules involved in the regulation of de-adhesion are only beginning to be identified. Interestingly, many of the same signaling proteins recognized to play important roles during the process of adhesion have also been found to act during de-adhesion. Characterization of the precise mechanisms by which these signals modulate adhesive structures and the cytoskeleton will further our understanding of the regulation of adhesive strength and its function in cellular physiology.

Abstract
A current model of growth factor-induced cell motility invokes integration of diverse biophysical processes required for cell motility, including dynamic formation and disruption of cell/substratum attachments along with extension of membrane protrusions. To define how these biophysical events are actuated by biochemical signaling pathways, we investigate here whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces disruption of focal adhesions in fibroblasts. We find that EGF treatment of NR6 fibroblasts presenting full-length WT EGF receptors (EGFR) reduces the fraction of cells presenting focal adhesions from approximately 60% to approximately 30% within 10 minutes. The dose dependency of focal adhesion disassembly mirrors that for EGF-enhanced cell motility, being noted at 0.1 nM EGF. EGFR kinase activity is required as cells expressing two kinase-defective EGFR constructs retain their focal adhesions in the presence of EGF. The short-term (30 minutes) disassembly of focal adhesions is reflected in decreased adhesiveness of EGF-treated cells to substratum. We further examine here known motility-associated pathways to determine whether these contribute to EGF-induced effects. We have previously demonstrated that phospholipase C(gamma) (PLCgamma) activation and mobilization of gelsolin from a plasma membrane-bound state are required for EGFR-mediated cell motility. In contrast, we find here that short-term focal adhesion disassembly is induced by a signaling-restricted truncated EGFR (c'973) which fails to activate PLCgamma or mobilize gelsolin. The PLC inhibitor U73122 has no effect on this process, nor is the actin severing capacity of gelsolin required as EGF treatment reduces focal adhesions in gelsolin-devoid fibroblasts, further supporting the contention that focal adhesion disassembly is signaled by a pathway distinct from that involving PLCgamma. Because both WT and c'973 EGFR activate the erk MAP kinase pathway, we additionally explore here this signaling pathway, not previously associated with growth factor-induced cell motility. Levels of the MEK inhibitor PD98059 that block EGF-induced mitogenesis and MAP kinase phosphorylation also abrogate EGF-induced focal adhesion disassembly and cell motility. In summary, we characterize for the first time the ability of EGFR kinase activity to directly stimulate focal adhesion disassembly and cell/substratum detachment, in relation to its ability to stimulate migration. Furthermore, we propose a model of EGF-induced motogenic cell responses in which the PLCgamma pathway stimulating cell motility is distinct from the MAP kinase-dependent signaling pathway leading to disassembly and reorganization of cell-substratum adhesion.

Abstract
Thrombospondin is an extracellular matrix protein involved in modulating cell adhesion. Thrombospondin stimulates a rapid loss of focal adhesion plaques and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells. The focal adhesion labilizing activity of thrombospondin is localized to the amino-terminal domain, specifically amino acids 17-35. Use of a synthetic peptide (hep I), containing amino acids 17-35 of thrombospondin, enables us to examine the signaling mechanisms specifically involved in thrombospondin-induced disassembly of focal adhesions. We tested the hypothesis that activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase is a necessary step in the thrombospondin-induced signaling pathway regulating focal adhesion disassembly. Both wortmannin and LY294002, membrane permeable inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity, blocked hep I-induced disassembly of focal adhesions. Similarly, wortmannin inhibited hep I-mediated actin microfilament reorganization and the hep I-induced translocation of alpha-actinin from focal adhesion plaques. Hep I also stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity approximately 2-3-fold as measured in anti-phosphoinositide 3-kinase and anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates. Increased immunoreactivity for the 85-kDa regulatory subunit in anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates suggests that the p85/p110 form of phosphoinositide 3-kinase is involved in this pathway. In 32Pi-labeled cells, hep I increased levels of phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate, the major product of phosphoinositide 3-kinase phosphorylation. These results suggest that thrombospondin signals the disassembly of focal adhesions and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton by a pathway involving stimulation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is an important growth factor for a variety of cells, including neurons and glial cells. PDGF signal transduction pathways have been studied primarily in mesenchyme-derived cells (such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells). However, little is known about these pathways in the central nervous system (CNS). It is believed that phosphorylation is a critical aspect of several steps in the signal transduction pathway. In this study, neurons and type 1 astrocytes in vitro were radiolabeled with 32P-orthophosphate (32P-Pi). The cells were lysed, and labeled proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Autoradiograms of PDGF-stimulated and control samples were compared. We found that in neurons and type 1 astrocytes in vitro, PDGF-BB greatly enhances protein phosphorylation while PDGF-AA has less of an effect on protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, because PDGF signal transduction pathways are likely to affect the cytoskeleton, we studied changes in actin-binding proteins induced by PDGF-BB. We found that PDGF-BB alters the expression, migration pattern and/or avidity of some actin-binding proteins in neurons. In conclusion, protein phosphorylation is up-regulated by PDGF in mouse cortical neurons and type 1 astrocytes in vitro. PDGF's effects on phosphorylation of cytoskeletal proteins might be a important mechanism by which PDGF affects the development and normal functions of central nervous system cells.

Abstract
Focal adhesions are specialized regions of cell membranes that are foci for the transmission of signals between the outside and the inside of the cell. Intracellular signaling events are important in the organization and stability of these structures. In previous work, we showed that the counter-adhesive extracellular matrix proteins, thrombospondin, tenascin, and SPARC, induce the disassembly of focal adhesion plaques and we identified the active regions of these proteins. In order to determine the mechanisms whereby the anti-adhesive matrix proteins modulate cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion integrity, we examined the role of protein kinases in mediating the loss of focal adhesions by these proteins. Data from these studies show that cGMP-dependent protein kinase is necessary to mediate focal adhesion disassembly triggered by either thrombospondin or tenascin, but not by SPARC. In experiments using various protein kinase inhibitors, we observed that selective inhibitors of cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase, KT5823 and Rp-8-Br-cGMPS, blocked the effects of both the active sequence of thrombospondin 1 (hep I) and the alternatively-spliced segment (TNfnA-D) of tenascin-C on focal adhesion disassembly. Moreover, early passage rat aortic smooth muscle cells which have high levels of cGMP-dependent protein kinase were sensitive to hep I treatment, in contrast to passaged cGMP-dependent protein kinase deficient cells which were refractory to hep I or TNfnA-D treatment, but were sensitive to SPARC. Transfection of passaged smooth muscle cells with the catalytic domain of PKG I alpha restored responsiveness to hep I and TNfnA-D. While these studies show that cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity is necessary for thrombospondin and tenascin-mediated focal adhesion disassembly, kinase activity alone is not sufficient to induce disassembly as transfection of the catalytic domain of the kinase in the absence of additional stimuli does not result in loss of focal adhesions.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus type 16 E5 oncoprotein possesses mitogenic activity that acts synergistically with epidermal growth factor (EGF) in human keratinocytes and inhibits the degradation of the EGF receptor in endosomal compartments after ligand-stimulated endocytosis. One potential explanation for these observations is that E5 inhibits the acidification of endosomes. This may be mediated through the 16-kDa component of the vacuolar proton-ATPase, since animal and human papillomavirus E5 proteins bind this subunit protein. Using a ratio-imaging technique to determine endosomal pH, we found that the acidification of endosomes in E5-expressing keratinocytes was delayed at least fourfold compared with normal human keratinocytes and endosomes in some cells never completely acidified. Furthermore, E5 expression increased the resistance of keratinocytes to protein synthesis inhibition by diphtheria toxin, a process dependent on efficient endosomal acidification. Finally, artificially inhibiting endosomal acidification with chloroquine during the endocytosis of EGF receptors in keratinocytes demonstrated many of the same effects as the expression of human papillomavirus type 16 E5, including prolonged retention of undegraded EGF receptors in intracellular vesicles.

Abstract
Interferon-alpha/beta (IFN-alpha/beta) suppresses cell cycle activation by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) as well as the induction of the 31-kD (pI) and the 35-kD (pII) proteins in density-arrested BALB/c-3T3 cells. We report that elevation of [Ca2+]i by ionomycin induces the synthesis of the 31-kD protein, but not that of the 35-kD protein. Since IFN blocks the PDGF-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i, these results suggest that IFN treatment may suppress pI induction by impairing this PDGF-activated signal transduction pathway. In contrast, because ionomycin did not induce the 35-kD protein, the suppression by IFN of PDGF-induced pII appears to be mediated via a pathway distinct from that operating in the suppression of pI. In BALB/c-3T3 cells, IFN-alpha/beta did not itself affect the turnover or de novo synthesis of inositol phospholipids and the cellular content of diacylglycerol, nor did IFN block the enhancement of these parameters by PDGF.

Abstract
The effects of protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced chemotaxis in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were investigated to elucidate the role of tyrosine phosphorylation in the chemotaxis of vascular SMCs. Two tyrosine kinase inhibitors, methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate and genistein, inhibited PDGF-induced chemotaxis, the IC50 being 5 and 150 mumol/L, respectively. Methyl cinnamate and genistein partly inhibited the adhesion of SMC to collagen-coated dishes. A chemotaxis assay using double-well culture dishes revealed that both agents also inhibited cell migration after adhesion. H-7, a C kinase inhibitor, did not inhibit either chemotaxis or SMC adhesion at 100 mumol/L. Western blot analysis using anti-phosphotyrosine revealed that the tyrosine kinase inhibitors inhibited the tyrosine phosphorylation of at least two proteins of molecular weight 85 and 95 kD under our experimental conditions. An immunocytochemical study revealed that these inhibitors eliminated tyrosine phosphorylation along the cell margins; these agents also inhibited the reorganization of microtubules and stress fibers, both of which are involved in directional cell locomotion. These findings suggest that tyrosine kinases may play an important role in SMC chemotaxis.

Abstract
The molecules which control the patterns of cell division, growth, and precise interconnections characteristic of the central nervous system still remain largely unidentified. The protein platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has been shown to mediate interactions among glial cells in vitro. More recent evidence has indicated that PDGF may also be involved in controlling communication between neurons and glial cells and among neurons. The presence of receptors for PDGF on neurons of the developing nervous system is an essential piece of evidence in this chain of events. Ganglion cells are labeled with antibodies to PDGF receptor only during the period of active process outgrowth. These findings suggest that PDGF is used as a mediator of intercellular signaling during neuronal development.

Abstract
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) elicits striking morphological changes in Sertoli cells in culture in serum-free medium, resulting in a transition from an epithelial type of cell association pattern to that of an astrocytic or fibroblast-like cell, with attenuated cytoplasmic extensions between cells, and with diminished F-actin stained stress fibers. These responses of Sertoli cells do not occur in the presence of normal untreated serum, but they do take place in the presence of acid-treated serum which is depleted of antiproteases. The addition of alpha 2-macroglobulin to serum-free medium or to antiprotease-depleted serum resulted in the blockage of morphological responses of Sertoli cells to FSH or to dbcAMP. Changes in pattern of arrangements of F-actin in Sertoli cells in culture, which occur in response to FSH or to dbcAMP, were also prevented by the presence of alpha 2-macroglobulin. Thus, the diminution in bundles of F-actin containing stress fibers, which otherwise takes place in Sertoli cells stimulated by FSH or by dbcAMP, did not occur in cells in culture in the presence of alpha 2-macroglobulin, in the presence or absence of acid-treated serum. The inhibiting effects of dbcAMP on the migration of Sertoli cells in serum-free medium became nondetectable in medium containing normal untreated serum, but remained evident in Sertoli cells in culture in medium containing acid-treated serum depleted of antiproteases. Addition of alpha 2-macroglobulin blocked the inhibitory effects of dbcAMP on Sertoli cell migration. Similarly, the presence of alpha 2-macroglobulin prevented the inhibitory effects of dbcAMP on the contractility of TM4 cells which had been embedded in collagen type-I and incubated in serum-free medium. We discuss the possibility that cellular proteases may be implicated in the disintegration of microfilament bundles, either by favoring depolymerization of actin filaments; by facilitating breakage of the link of the transmembrane molecular assembly between cytoskeletal extracellular matrix components; or by catalyzing a disruption of the modular organization of one or more of the actin cross-linking proteins. By inference, we postulate that morphological responses of Sertoli cells to FSH require the activation of cellular proteases for one or more of these reactions, and that alpha 2-macroglobulin blocks the Sertoli cell morphological responses to FSH by inhibiting the proteases involved.

Abstract
8-(N,N-Diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8), a putative inhibitor of intracellular calcium mobilization, causes a dose-dependent inhibition of serum-induced proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells in culture. Neither early rise in cytosolic calcium concentration nor induction of early induced cell cycle dependent genes (c-fos, ornithine decarboxylase) are inhibited after serum stimulation in presence of 100 microM TMB-8. In contrast, expression of thymidine kinase, a gene normally induced in late-G1 phase, is entirely inhibited by TMB-8. Taken together with flow cytometry studies, these results indicate that TMB-8 blocks cell cycle progression in mid- or late-G1 phase by a mechanism not directly related to early responses to serum stimulation since TMB-8 is also effective when introduced several hours after serum stimulation.

Abstract
A series of peptidyl diazomethanes and monofluoromethane with structures specific for calpain have been synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit calpain activity in vivo, using human platelets as a model system. Calpain activity in vivo was determined by observing proteolysis of actin-binding protein and talin, two known substrates of calpain. Very potent inhibitors, which emerged from this study, were used to investigate the role of calpain in some platelet response processes. Our results show that calpain-mediated proteolysis in platelets is not an obligatory event leading to change of cell shape, adhesion to glass and spreading, aggregation and 5-hydroxytryptamine release. Two of the inhibitors were iodinated with 125I and used to radiolabel the enzyme in vivo. To our knowledge, this work also represents the first report describing the affinity labelling of calpain in human platelets using irreversible radioactive inhibitors.

Abstract
Using synthetic peptides, we have identified two distinct regions of the glycoprotein SPARC (Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine) (osteonectin/BM-40) that inhibit cell spreading. One of these sites also contributes to the affinity of SPARC for extracellular matrix components. Peptides representing subregions of SPARC were synthesized and antipeptide antibodies were produced. Immunoglobulin fractions of sera recognizing an NH2-terminal peptide (designated 1.1) blocked SPARC-mediated anti-spreading activity. Furthermore, when peptides were added to newly plated endothelial cells or fibroblasts, peptide 1.1 and a peptide corresponding to the COOH terminal EF-hand domain (designated 4.2) inhibited cell spreading in a dose-dependent manner. These peptides exhibited anti-spreading activity at concentrations from 0.1 to 1 mM. The ability of peptides 1.1 and 4.2 to modulate cell shape was augmented by an inhibitor of protein synthesis and was blocked by specific antipeptide immunoglobulins. In addition to blocking cell spreading, peptide 4.2 competed for binding of [125I]SPARC and exhibited differential affinity for extracellular matrix molecules in solid-phase binding assays. The binding of peptide 4.2 to matrix components was Ca+(+)-dependent and displayed specificities similar to those of native SPARC. These studies demonstrate that both anti-spreading activity and affinity for collagens are functions of unique regions within the SPARC amino acid sequence. The finding that two separate regions of the SPARC protein contribute to its anti-spreading activity lead us to propose that multiple regions of the protein act in concert to regulate the interactions of cells with their extracellular matrix.

Abstract
The use of low-light-level video cameras and solid-state image detectors in conjunction with image digitizers for optical microscopy is increasing dramatically as more people learn about such systems, and as they become more powerful, less expensive, and easier to use. However, there is currently little information available allowing comparison between cameras, or for determining camera suitability for a given experiment. In this paper, we describe a series of tests designed to characterize the performance of low-light-level cameras. The results of these tests should assist in the selection of appropriate cameras for given video microscopy applications.

Abstract
Both increases in c-fos proto-oncogene expression and intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) have been implicated as necessary components of the signal transduction pathway by which platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates DNA synthesis in cultured BALB/c3T3 fibroblasts. To determine the interrelationship between PDGF-induced increases in c-fos proto-oncogene expression and [Ca2+]i, purified, recombinant BB and AA homodimeric isoforms of PDGF were used to evaluate the dose-response relationships and mechanisms of growth factor-induced changes in these two parameters as well as DNA synthesis. Concentration-dependent increases in [Ca2+]i, c-fos expression, and [3H]thymidine incorporation were observed with both BB and AA PDGF isoforms. BB PDGF was consistently more potent and efficacious than the AA isoform in eliciting a given response. The [Ca2+]i dependency of PDGF-induced increases in c-fos expression and DNA synthesis was determined by pretreatment of cells with agents that inhibit increases in [Ca2+]i: BAPTA, Quin-2, and TMB-8. Under these conditions, PDGF-induced DNA synthesis was blocked, whereas c-fos expression was enhanced. Conversely, in cells made deficient in protein kinase C (PKC) activity by prolonged treatment with phorbol ester, BB and AA PDGF-induced c-fos expression was inhibited by 75-80%, while PDGF-induced increases in [Ca2+]i and DNA synthesis were unaffected or enhanced. Additionally, the PKC-independent component of PDGF-stimulated c-fos expression was found to be independent of increases in [Ca2+]i. These data suggest that 1) both BB and AA PDGF isoforms elicit alterations in [Ca2+]i and c-fos proto-oncogene expression through the same or similar mechanisms in BALB/c3T3 fibroblasts, 2) PDGF-stimulated increases in [Ca2+]i are not required for c-fos expression, and 3) distinct pathways regulate PDGF-induced c-fos expression and mitogenesis, with c-fos expression being substantially PKC-dependent yet [Ca2+]i-independent, while mitogenesis is [Ca2+]i-dependent yet PKC-independent.

Abstract
We examined the effects of thrombospondin (TSP) in the substrate adhesion of bovine aortic endothelial cells. The protein was tested both as a substrate for cell adhesion and as a modulator of the later stages of the cell adhesive process. TSP substrates supported the attachment of some BAE cells, but not cell spreading or the formation of focal adhesion plaques. In contrast, cells seeded on fibrinogen or fibronectin substrates were able to complete the adhesive process, as indicated by the formation of focal adhesion plaques. Incubation of cells in suspension with soluble TSP before or at the time of seeding onto fibronectin substrates resulted in an inhibition of focal adhesion formation. Furthermore, the addition of TSP to fully adherent cells in situ or prespread on fibronectin substrates caused a reduction in the number of cells, which were positive for focal adhesions, although there was no significant effect on cell spreading. In a dose-dependent manner, TSP reduced the number of cells with adhesion plaques to approximately 60% of control levels. The distribution of remaining adhesion plaques in TSP-treated cells was also altered: plaques were primarily limited to the periphery of cells and were not present in the central cell body, as in control cells treated with BSA. The observed effects were specific for TSP and were not observed with platelet factor 4, beta-thromboglobulin, or fibronectin. The TSP-mediated loss of adhesion plaques was neutralized by the addition of heparin, fucoidan, other heparin-binding proteins, and by a monoclonal antibody to the heparin binding domain of TSP, but not by antibodies to the core or carboxy-terminal regions of TSP. The interaction of the heparin-binding domain of TSP with cell-associated heparan sulfate appears to be an important mechanistic component for this activity of TSP. These data indicate that TSP may have a role in destabilizing cell adhesion through prevention of focal adhesion formation and by loss of preformed focal adhesions.

Abstract
The rapid transductional sequences initiated by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on binding to its receptor regulate functional and genomic responses in many cells but are not well defined. Induction of macrophage activation is an example of such functional and genomic changes in response to IFN-gamma. Addition of IFN-gamma to murine macrophages, at activating concentrations, produced rapid (within 60 seconds) alkalinization of the cytosol and a concomitant, rapid influx of 22Na+. Amiloride inhibited the ion fluxes and the accumulation of specific messenger RNA for two genes induced by IFN-gamma (the early gene JE and the beta chain of the class II major histocompatibility complex gene I-A). The data indicate that IFN-gamma initiates rapid exchange of Na+ and H+ by means of the Na+/H+ antiporter and that these amiloride-sensitive ion fluxes are important to some of the genomic effects of IFN-gamma.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and other agents that activate protein kinase C (PKC) rapidly alter cytosolic pH (pHi) and intracellular free calcium ([Ca++]i) in BALB/c-3T3 fibroblasts. To define whether changes in pHi or [Ca++]i are linked to PDGF-stimulated mitogenesis, these parameters were assessed in control and PKC depleted fibroblasts. PDGF addition to BALB/c-3T3 fibroblasts resulted in transient acidification of the cytoplasm followed by prolonged cytosolic alkalinization. Exposure of cells to 12-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a phorbol ester that activates PKC, resulted in cytosolic alkalinization without prior acidification. Overnight incubation with 600 nM TPA decreased the total cell PKC histone phosphorylating activity in BALB/c-3T3 fibroblasts by greater than 90%. In PKC-deficient fibroblasts, TPA, and PDGF-induced alkalinization was abolished. In addition, the transient drop in pHi seen initially in control cells treated with PDGF is sustained to the point where pHi is fully 0.6-0.7 pH units below control cell values for up to 30 minutes. PDGF increased [Ca++]i threefold; this transient rise in [Ca++]i was only minimally affected (less than 15%) by lowering of the extracellular calcium level with ethylene glycol bis(b-aminoethyl ether)0 N,N,N' tetraacetic acid (EGTA) or blocking calcium influx with CoCl2. In contrast, 8-(diethylamine)-octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8), an agent thought to inhibit calcium release from intracellular stores, substantially inhibited the rise in [Ca++]i caused by PDGF. TPA and 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG) increased [Ca++]i but in contrast to PDGF this effect was blocked by pretreatment of cells with EGTA or CoCl2. In PKC-deficient fibroblasts, PDGF still increased [Ca++]i and stimulated DNA synthesis as effectively as in controls. TPA and OAG however, no longer increased [Ca++]i. The continued ability of PDGF to stimulate DNA synthesis in the face of sustained acidification and the absence of PKC activity suggests that cytosolic alkalinization and PKC activation are not essential for PDGF-induced competence in BALB/c-3T3 fibroblasts.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and angiotensin II (AII) are thought to mediate their biological effects in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by causing alterations in cytosolic free calcium ([ Ca2+]i). In this study we examine the pathways by which PDGF and AII alter [Ca2+]i in VSMCs. Addition of PDGF resulted in a rapid, transient, concentration-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i; this rise in [Ca2+]i was blocked completely by preincubation of cells with ethylene glycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) or CoCl2, by the voltage-sensitive Ca2+-channel antagonists verapamil or nifedipine, by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), or by pertussis toxin. AII also caused an increase in [Ca2+]i; however, AII-stimulated alterations in [Ca2+]i displayed different kinetics compared with those caused by PDGF. Pretreatment of cells with 8-(diethylamine)-octyl-3,4,5-trimethyoxybenzoate hydrochloride (TMB-8), almost totally inhibited AII-induced increases in [Ca2+]i. EGTA or CoCl2 only slightly diminished AII-stimulated increases in [Ca2+]i. Nifedipine, verapamil, TPA, and pertussis toxin pretreatment were without effect on AII-induced increases in [Ca2+]i. PDGF and AII both stimulated increases in total inositol phosphate accumulation, although the one-half maximal concentration (ED50) for alterations in [Ca2+]i and phosphoinisitide hydrolysis differed by a factor of 10 for PDGF (3 X 10(-10) M for Ca2+ vs. 2.5 X 10(-9) M for phosphoinositide hydrolysis), but they were essentially identical for AII (7.5 X 10(-9) M for Ca2+ vs. 5.0 X 10(-9) M for phosphoinositide hydrolysis). PDGF stimulated mitogenesis (as measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA) in VSMCs with an ED50 similar to that for PDGF-induced alterations in phosphoinositide hydrolysis. PDGF-stimulated mitogenesis was blocked by pretreatment of cells with voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel blockers, TPA, or pertussis toxin. These results suggest that PDGF and AII cause alterations in [Ca2+]i in VSMCs by at least quantitatively distinct mechanisms. PDGF binding activates a pertussis-toxin-sensitive Ca2+ influx into cells via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels (blocked by EGTA, verapamil, and nifedipine), as well as stimulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis leading to release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. AII-induced alterations in [Ca2+]i are mainly the result of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and consequent entry of Ca2+ into the cytoplasm from intracellular stores. Our data also suggest that changes in [Ca2+]i caused by PDGF are required for PDGF-stimulated mitogenesis.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium (Cai2+) and intracellular pH (pHi) are important regulators of a variety of intracellular processes. Cai2+ is a regulator of muscle contraction, but the role of pHi is unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of alterations of pHi on Cai2+. A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) were grown to confluence on glass cover slips. Cai2+ was determined with the fluorescent probe fura-2 and pHi with 2,7-bis-carboxyethyl-5(6)-carboxy-fluorescein (BCECF). Alkalinization of the VSMC by exposure to 20 mM NH4Cl (delta pHi 0.41 +/- 0.07) resulted in a rise in Cai2+ from 99 +/- 8 to 146 +/- 13 nM (n = 5) in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ (Cao2+). In the absence of Cao2+, NH4Cl-induced alkalinization also resulted in a Cai2+ rise (delta Cai2+ = 26 +/- 4 nM, n = 5). Similar changes in Cai2+ were observed when cells were alkalinized by exposure to nigericin in a KCl buffer (pH 7.7). Neither 100 microM verapamil or 100 microM 8,8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate HCl (TMB-8) altered the alkaline-induced changes. After cellular Ca2+ stores were partially depleted by exposure to AVP in a Ca2+-free solution, subsequent cell alkalinization induced no changes in Cai2+. These results demonstrate that alkalinization of VSMCs leads to a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ via release of intracellular Ca2+ stores. The intracellular Ca2+ storage sites appear to be the same as those sites sensitive to AVP. Thus pHi may regulate Cai2+ and thereby play a role in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent stimulant of leukocytes, including macrophages. To analyze the mechanisms of its effects upon macrophages, we determined whether macrophages bear specific surface receptors for PAF. By competitive radioactive binding assays, we determined two classes of specific receptors to be present on purified membranes derived from murine peritoneal macrophages (one having a Kd of approximately 1 X 10(-10) M and one a Kd of approximately 2 X 10(-9) M). When the macrophages were incubated with PAF, rapid formation of several inositol phosphates including inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate were observed. PAF also elevated intracellular levels of calcium to 290 +/- 27% of basal levels which were 82.7 +/- 12 nM. Increases in calcium were observed first in submembranous areas of the macrophages. PAF also led to increases of 1,2-diacylglycerol of approximately 200 pmol/10(7) cells. A characteristic pattern of enhanced protein phosphorylation, similar to that initiated by both phorbol 12,13-myristate and lipopolysaccharide, was observed and involved enhanced phosphorylation of proteins of 28, 33, 67, and 103 kD. The half-maximal dose of PAF for initiating all the above effects was approximately 5 X 10(-9) M. PAF also initiated significant chemotaxis of the cells; the half-maximal dose for this effect was approximately 1 X 10(-11) M. Taken together, these observations suggest that murine mononuclear phagocytes bear specific membrane receptors for PAF and that addition of PAF leads to generation of break-down products of polyphosphoinositides, subsequent changes in intracellular calcium and protein phosphorylation, and chemotaxis.

Abstract
Stimulation of total inositol phosphate production, alteration of cytosolic free calcium [( Ca++]i), vinculin disruption from adhesion plaques, and DNA synthesis caused by PDGF were examined in normal and INF pretreated density arrested BALB/c-3T3 fibroblasts. In normal cells, PDGF caused an increase in total inositol phosphates, a rapid, transient increase in [Ca++]i, disappearance of vinculin from adhesion plaques, and stimulation of DNA synthesis. Pretreatment of cells with INF inhibited PDGF-stimulated increases in [Ca++]i, vinculin disruption from adhesion plaques, and DNA synthesis, but had no effect on PDGF-induced increase in total inositol phosphate levels. These findings suggest that INF prevents entry of quiescent BALB/c-3T3 cells into G1 by inhibiting PDGF-induced release of Ca++ from intracellular stores.
