Popis: The effect of thyrosine kinase, calmodulin and voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel on the proliferation of hepatoma cells induced by EGF was studied. Hepatoma cell line SMMC7721 was cultured in RPMI1640 serum-free medium. DNA synthesis rate of hepatoma cells was measured by H-TdR incorporation. 10−9 mol/L EGF could significantly stimulate the proliferation of hepatoma cells (P 0.05), but it had very significantly inhibitory effect on the proliferation of hepatoma cells induced by EGF (P 0.05). It had no effect on the basic phase of cultured hepatoma cells, (P>0.05). It is suggested that tyrosine kinase and Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent pathway may play a critical role on the proliferation of heptoma cells induced by EGF and voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel is independent of the effect of EGF.
