title: Influence of 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8) on cell cycle progression and proliferation of cultured arterial smooth muscle cells.
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.
