Protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase are expressed in all smooth muscle cells and believed to be important in several physiologically relevant properties of this muscle. Our goal was to determine if protein kinase C and MAP kinase are activated by a simple increase in cellular

We tested the hypothesis that Mg 2þ influences growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) by modulating cell cycle activation through mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-dependent pathways. Rat VSMCs were grown in culture medium containing normal Mg 2þ (1.02 mmol/L, control) and increasing co

## Abstract In certain cell systems, including neonatal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells, phorbol esters are growth inhibitory. Here we show that 1, 2‐dioctanoyl‐snglycerol (DiC8), when added 2 h after α‐thrombin, reverses by 95% the induction of DNA synthesis in VSM cells by α‐thrombin. Sphingos

## Abstract The effects of prolactin (PRL) on A10 (aortic smooth muscle) cell proliferation were examined by measuring both [^3^H] thymidine incorporation and increases in cell number. PRL induced a significant proliferative response from 10^−11^ to 10^−7^ M, with optimal activity at 10^−10^ M. PRL
