title: Bradykinin stimulation does not induce intracellular Ca2+ elevation in cells from desmoid tumors.
abstract: The intracellular mechanisms controlling cell proliferation in desmoid tumors (DT) are unknown. Bradykinin stimulated an increase in [Ca2+](i), (monitored by the fura-2 fluorescence) in fibroblasts obtained from both the skin of a normal donor and the mesenter of a familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patient. Cells from DT of the same patient as well as those from another FAP patient failed to show the elevation of [Ca2+](i) usually caused by bradykinin stimulation.
