## Abstract Photodynamic treatment (PDT) can elicit a diverse range of cellular responses, including apoptotic cell death. Previously, we showed that PDT stimulates caspaseβ3 activation and subsequent cleavage and activation of p21βactivated kinase 2 (PAK2) in human epidermal carcinoma A431 cells.

## Abstract Adult frogs have a stratified epidermis with a keratinized stratum corneum. Since the extracellular calcium concentration is known to regulate differentiation of mammalian epidermal cells in vitro, we studied the effects of calcium on the terminal differentiation of frog epidermal cells
Previous studies have documented the activation of Na+/H+ exchange in A431 cells by the addition of epidermal growth factor or serum (Rothenberg et al., 1983b). Here we show that exposure of A4 31 cells to medium of increased osmolarity also leads to activation of Na+/H+ exchange and to an increase
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a strong apoptotic trigger that can induce a caspase-dependent biochemical change in cells. We previously showed that UV irradiation can elicit caspase-3 activation and the subsequent cleavage and activation of p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) in human epidermal carcinoma A431
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) induced the disruption and scattering of colonies of TMK-1, a cell line derived from a human gastric carcinoma. A stimulatory action of EGF on cell migration was also observed as determined by a wound assay. However, these actions of EGF were inhibited if the cells were
