Abstract

Tumor‐promoting phorbol esters, such as 12‐0‐tetradecanoyl‐phorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA), stimulate mouse peritoneal exudate macrophages to undergo DNA synthesis without added macrophage growth factor (MGF). Resident peritoneal macrophages do not respond in this manner. Plasminogen activator (PA) levels of both exudate and resident peritoneal macrophages are elevated by TPA. Thus the phorbol esters appear to mimic the action(s) of MGF and may be useful in understanding the events involved in macrophage and precursor cell growth responsiveness.

## Abstract The indol alkaloid staurosporine is a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C, but has also been shown to have certain effects paradoxically similar to those of protein kinase C–activating phorbol esters. We show here that collagenase mRNA expression is stimulated by 10 nM staurosporine in

## Abstract Overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is an important oncogenic event in tumorigenesis. Although __ODC__ was one of the first genes described whose product is inducible by 12‐__O__‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA), the mechanisms of __ODC__ transcriptional regulation have

We have investigated the induction of competence (IL-2 responsiveness) and progression in human T lymphocyte proliferation triggered by phorbol ester and calcium ionophore. The degree of proliferation induced with the phorbol ester, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) and the calcium ionophore ionomycin
