Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) initiates replication of density-arrested BALB/c mouse fibroblast 3T3 cells by rendering them competent to respond to factors contained in plasma. Treatment of quiescent cells with PDGF rapidly stimulates the preferential synthesis of several cytoplasmic proteins (MW 29,000-70,000). Four of these proteins were noted within 1.5 h of PDGF addition and one (pI) within 40 min. Inhibitors of RNA synthesis prevented the synthesis of these proteins. Both the synthesis of pI and the stimulation of DNA synthesis displayed a similar dose response to PDGF concentration. Pituitary fibroblast growth factor, which also induces competence, stimulated pI and pII synthesis. Plasma, epidermal growth factor or insulin, which do not induce competence, did not stimulate selective synthesis of these proteins. A transformed variant of BALB/c-3T3 cells, which has retained the growth requirement for plasma factors but lost the requirement for PDGF, synthesizes these PDGF-modulated proteins constitutively.This publication has 35 references indexed in Scilit:
