The effect of epinephrine on the intracellular free calcium of parent and Ki-ras-transfected NIH3T3 cells.
AI Summary
Key Findings
Abstract
Here we describe differences in the formation of the epinephrine-induced Ca2+ transients between parent and Ki-ras-transformed NIH3T3 fibroblasts. These transients proved to be the results of an efflux from both the thapsigargin-sensitive and -insensitive intracellular pools. While the epinephrine-induced detachment of the ras-transformed cells might be due to cytoskeletal and/or cell-matrix alterations.
