Abstract excerpt
The bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid is besides a strong mitogen for quiescent fibroblasts, a potent inducer of phenotypic transformation of normal rat kidney cells. The lysophosphatidic acid induced loss of density-arrest is strongly inhibited by bradykinin. Although their effects on normal rat kidney cell proliferation are opposite, bradykinin mimics many of the intracellular effects induced upon...
