title: Comparative effects of epidermal growth factor and carbachol on phosphoinositide synthesis and breakdown in pancreatic acinar cells.
abstract: Carbachol (CCh) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) elicited a concentration-dependent increase in [32P]phosphatidyl-inositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns-4P) formation in homogenates derived from agonist-stimulated rat pancreatic acini. The combination of CCh and EGF produced a response which was not synergistic or additive. EGF, unlike CCh, failed to cause [32P]PtdIns-4,5P2 breakdown, suggesting different mechanisms involved in the stimulation of [32P]PtdIns-4P formation induced by EGF and CCh. We conclude that PtdIns kinase represents a key component of the signaling pathways utilized by EGF and CCh in exocrine pancreas.
