title: Phorbol ester modulates serotonin receptor-mediated increases in inositol phosphate production and calcium mobilization in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells.
abstract: The effect of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on serotonin-induced inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation and intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations [( Ca2+]i) was investigated in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells. Pretreatment with TPA had no effect on basal levels of both IP production and [Ca2+]i, whereas it significantly attenuated serotonin-induced increases in both IP production and [Ca2+]i. These data suggest that protein kinase C is involved in the negative feedback control of serotonin-induced rises in both IP production and [Ca2+]i.
