  • Title: Platelet-derived growth factor induces phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase release from the middle T-pp60c-src complex and association with the platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
    Author: Zhang QX, Baldwin GS.
    Journal: Growth Factors; 1994; 10(1):41-51. PubMed ID: 7514012.
    Abstract:
    Both platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) induce mitogenesis in normal rat kidney (NRK) fibroblasts transformed by the polyoma virus middle T (pmt) oncogene. In unstimulated pmt-NRK cells phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase forms a complex with the middle T protein and pp60c-src. PDGF treatment causes a release of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity from the complex and a simultaneous increase in activity associated with the PDGF receptor. In contrast after treatment with EGF the majority of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity remains associated with the middle T-pp60c-src complex. Proliferation of NRK fibroblasts transformed by the v-src oncogene is already maximal, and no further stimulation is observed with either PDGF or EGF. Neither growth factor induces dissociation of the complex between phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and pp60v-src. These observations suggest that the complex between phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, the middle T protein and pp60c-src is dissociable, and that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase plays different roles in mitogenic signal transduction by the PDGF and EGF receptors.
