Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) in cellular interactions with collagenous matrices. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) elicited a mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ in pig aortic endothelial (PAE) cells transfected with wild type PDGF beta-receptor. This response was greatly reduced in PAE cells transfected with PDGF beta-receptors mutated at positions Y740 and...
