Abstract excerpt
Addition of growth factors such as EGF and insulin to serum-starved G(0) Chinese hamster fibroblast cells results in activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/p70 S6 kinase (p70(S6K)) pathway and the ras-raf mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK) pathway. Activation of these pathways is usually associated with protection of cells from apoptosis. We have studied the effect of three alkylpurines,...
