Abstract excerpt
Mesangial cell growth factors elevate intracellular free [Ca2+]i, but mechanisms linking [Ca2+]i to gene expression and DNA synthesis are unclear. This study investigated the hypothesis that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II), which is activated by elevated [Ca2+]i, increases c-fos transcription and DNA synthesis via a Src-based mechanism. In cultured rat mesangial cells, dominant negative Src...
