title: Epidermal growth factor stimulates phosphatidylinositol turnover in human foreskin fibroblasts without activation of protein kinase C.
abstract: Epidermal growth factor stimulates phosphatidylinositol turnover in human foreskin fibroblasts. This is a primary cell culture with normal numbers of epidermal growth factor receptors that is stimulated to divide by epidermal growth factor. Increases are seen in the inositol phospholipids and inositol phosphates. Despite this activation of phosphatidylinositol turnover, there is no detectable activation of protein kinase C.
