title: Cyclic AMP can partially restore platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis, and calcium mobilization in EJ-ras-transformed NIH-3T3 cells.
abstract: NIH-3T3 cells transformed by the EJ-ras oncogene display reduced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated phospholipase C activity as measured by inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) synthesis and Ca2+ mobilization. The lack of PDGF-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization in EJ-ras transformed cells is not due to a loss of IP3 sensitivity, because microinjected IP3 elevates intracellular Ca2+. Treatment of EJ-ras transformed cells with cholera toxin or 8-bromo-cyclic AMP, but not pertussis toxin or the beta-subunit of cholera toxin, results in a slight recovery of PDGF-stimulated IP3 synthesis, a marked increase in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, and an almost complete recovery of prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis. These data suggest that EJ p21-mediated inhibition of PDGF-stimulated intracellular events can be partially and transiently reversed by cyclic AMP.
