## Abstract Bovine corneal and aortal endothelial cell cultures were established from primary explants and subcultured for at least 40 passages. With both cell, exogenous thymidine, folate or folinate markedly increased the proliferation of these cells and decreased their serum requirement in Mediu

โฆ Synopsis
Micromolar conccntrations of sodium orthovanadate 5timulated the proliferation of bovine capillary endothelial cclls, but no1 bovine aortic endothelial cells. Vanadate was equally potent at inducing protein tyrosine phosphorylation and changes in morphology in both types of cells. However, vanadatc treatment lead to an inhibition of protein tyrosine kinase activity in the aortic endothelial cells, but not the capillary endothelial cells. In capillary endothelial cells, the effect of vanadatc was additive with basic FGF (bFGF) at low concentrations of bFGF. There was no interaction between bFGF and vanadate in aortic endothelial cells. TGF-p, which inhibits the induction of endothelial cell proliferation by bFGF, appeared to shift the dose response curve to vanadate in capillary endothelial cells, increasing the proliferative effect of vanadate at low vanadate concentrations, but decreasing the proliferative effect a1 higher vanadate concentrations.
