- Addition of the mitogenic peptides bombesin and vasopressin to quiescent Swiss 3T3 mouse cells increased the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration without any measurable delay. In contrast, there was a significant lag period (16 +/- 1.2 s) before platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. This lag was not diminished at high concentrations of either porcine or human PDGF. Similar results were obtained in 3T3 cells loaded with quin-2 or fura-2. The differences in the effects of bombesin, vasopressin, and PDGF on Ca2+ movements were also substantiated by measurements of 45Ca2+ efflux and of cellular 45Ca2+ content. Activation of protein kinase C by phorbol esters inhibited Ca2+ mobilization induced by either bombesin or vasopressin. In contrast, phorbol esters had no effect on PDGF-induced cytosolic Ca2+ concentration increase or acceleration of 45Ca2+ efflux. Finally, bombesin and vasopressin caused a rapid increase in the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate, whereas PDGF, even at a saturating concentration, exerted only a small effect. These results indicate that the signal transduction pathways activated by PDGF that lead to Ca2+ mobilization can be distinguished from those utilized by bombesin and vasopressin.

- Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) occurs as three dimeric isoforms, AA, BB, and AB. Two distinct receptor subunits, alpha and beta, have been identified which bind either all three isoforms of PDGF (alpha) or PDGF-BB only (beta). Here, we have compared the effect of purified PDGF homodimers on the early intracellular signaling events and mitogenesis in Swiss 3T3 cells, which possess equivalent numbers of the alpha and beta subunits. Both PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB stimulated receptor phosphorylation, inositol phosphate formation, activation of protein kinase C, calcium mobilization, EGF receptor transmodulation, sodium uptake, arachidonic acid release, cyclic AMP accumulation, and c-fos induction in a comparable, dose-dependent manner (half-maximal values for all these response were in the 2-10 ng/ml range for both homodimers). At high concentrations of PDGF (greater than 10 ng/ml), the BB homodimer effect on early membrane and cytosolic signals was 20-30% greater than PDGF-AA, reflecting the greater number of available binding sites for PDGF-BB. DNA synthesis studies indicated that PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB were potent mitogens for Swiss 3T3 cells, displaying identical dose-response effects. Moreover, the mitogenic activities of both homodimers were equally potentiated in the presence of insulin. These results indicate that both PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB stimulate the full complement of molecular responses required for the synergistic interactions mediating long-term mitogenesis. We conclude that alpha and beta receptor subunits do not differ in their ability to transduce PDGF-mediated signals leading to DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells.

- To elucidate the transmembrane signalling processes initiated by fibroblast growth factor (FGF), we have studied the effect of recombinant basic FGF (bFGF) on various early events associated with mitogenesis in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. bFGF, at mitogenic concentrations, neither induced Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores nor increased the accumulation of inositol phosphates. In contrast, bFGF stimulated the phosphorylation of the Mr 80,000 (80K) cellular protein which is a major substrate of protein kinase C. This effect was potentiated by the diacylglycerol kinase inhibitor R59022. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and phosphopeptide mapping showed that the 80K phosphoproteins generated in response to bFGF, bombesin, and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate were indistinguishable. Down-regulation of protein kinase C prevented bFGF stimulation of 80K phosphorylation. Other protein kinase C-dependent early events such as transmodulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor, cytoplasmic alkalinization, inhibition of vasopressin induced increase in cytosolic [Ca2+], and enhancement of cAMP accumulation in response to forskolin were also induced by bFGF. Similar results were obtained when bFGF was added to quiescent cultures of tertiary mouse embryo fibroblasts. We conclude that bFGF stimulates protein kinase C through a signal transduction pathway distinct from inositol phospholipid turnover and Ca2+ mobilization.

- We determined the temporal relationship between the formation of inositol phosphates and increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] elicited by bombesin, vasopressin and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. These responses were measured under identical conditions. Bombesin caused a rapid increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate which coincided with the increase in cytosolic [Ca2+]. This was followed by a slower but marked increase in inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate and inositol-bisphosphate. Vasopressin elicited a similar sequence of events. In sharp contrast, highly purified porcine PDGF induced increases in cytosolic [Ca2+] and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate that were temporally uncoupled: detectable inositol polyphosphate formation occurred after Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. The same temporal dissociation was observed when a recombinant v-sis product was used instead of porcine PDGF. However, PDGF was as effective as bombesin in stimulating the formation of inositol phosphates after 5-10 min of incubation. The data suggest that PDGF increases cytosolic [Ca2+] via a different signal transduction pathway from that utilized by bombesin and vasopressin. These findings have important implications for understanding the signal transduction pathway activated by PDGF.

- Prior incubation of quiescent cultures of Swiss 3T3 cells with pertussis toxin selectively inhibited the stimulation of DNA synthesis induced by peptides of the bombesin family. While pertussis toxin blocked mitogenesis at an early stage in the action of the peptide, the toxin did not impair the rapid stimulation of polyphosphoinositide breakdown, Ca2+ mobilization or activation of protein kinase C promoted by bombesin. Thus, inhibition of bombesin-induced mitogenesis by pertussis toxin can be dissociated from inactivation of the phospholipase C signalling pathway.
