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