title: Okadaic acid blocks PDGF-induced proliferation of AKR-2B fibroblasts at the transition from G1- to S-phase.
abstract: Okadaic acid (OA) at 100 ng/ml completely inhibited platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced DNA synthesis but had no effect on early signals, i.e., PDGF receptor autophosphorylation or stimulation of inositolphosphate turnover. A detailed analysis using synchronized cells showed that OA acts at the transition from G1-phase to S-phase. These observations were confirmed by flow cytometric DNA analysis of asynchronously grown cells. Here cells were specifically arrested in the G1-phase.
