## Abstract Tamoxifen (TAM) is the endocrine therapeutic agent the most widely used in the treatment of breast cancer, and it operates primarily through the induction of apoptosis. In this study, we attempted to elucidate the non‐ER mediated mechanism behind TAM treatment, involving the phospholipa

✦ Synopsis
Growth factors activate phospholipases, causing the generation of diverse lipid metabolites with second messenger function. Among them, the phosphatidylcholine-preferring phospholipase D (PLD) has attracted great interest, since in addition to the transient activation by growth factors stimulation, it is constitutively activated in some of the src-and ras-transformed cells investigated. To establish further the functional relationship of ras oncogenes with PLD, we have investigated its mechanism of regulation. Growth factors such as PDGF or FGF activate the PC-PLD enzyme by a common, PKC-dependent mechanism. By contrast, ras oncogenes activate the PC-PLD enzyme by a PKC-independent mechanism. These results suggest the existence of at least two mechanisms for PLD activation, and ras oncogenes contribute to one of them.

We determined whether activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and a subsequent increase in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was an obligatory signaling event mediating the increase in transendothelial permeability induced by bradykinin (BK) and alpha-thrombin (a
Imidazoline receptor antisera-selected protein (IRAS) is considered as a candidate for the I1-imidazoline receptor (I1R), but the signaling pathway mediated by IRAS remains unknown. In our study, the signal transduction pathways of IRAS were investigated in CHO cells stably expressing IRAS (CHO-IRAS
## Abstract It has recently been shown that the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) induces protein tyrosine phosphorylation in osteoblast‐like MC3T3‐E1 cells. We previously reported that the activation of PKC stimulates phosphatidylcholine‐hydrolyzing phospholipase D in these cells. In this study
N6-O'2-dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP), N6-monobutyryl cAMP (N6-mbcAMP), 8-Chloro cAMP (ClcAMP), and O'2-monobutyryl cAMP (O'2-mbcAMP) were used to study glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) induction in rat C6 glioma. With the exception of O'2-mbcAMP, these cAMP analogs induced GFAP after stimulation of
