Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) growth is under the influence of various growth factors. We demonstrate that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates DNA synthesis of cultured bovine aortic SMCs by 2.5- to 3.5-fold. PDGF also exhibits additivity with insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) for DNA synthesis and cellular proliferation. Insulin (2 x 10(-6) M), IGF-I (1 x 10(-8) M), and PDGF (1 x 10(-9) M) cause a 60-80% increase in cell numbers over basal, but PDGF with insulin or IGF causes a 40-150% increase over basal. No additivity between insulin and IGF-I is evident. PDGF also induces commitment to DNA synthesis earlier than insulin or IGF-I. After exposure to PDGF for 4 h, SMCs incorporate 3H-thymidine to 60% of maximum (with PDGF alone) levels (achieved after exposure of 12 h or longer). Insulin and IGF-I exposure for 4 h, on the other hand, achieves 3H-thymidine incorporation that is only a 20-30% of maximum (with insulin or IGF-I alone). Insulin, IGF-I, and PDGF increase mRNA levels of the protooncogene c-myc. This induction begins within 30 min of exposure to these growth factors which causes a 4- to 6-fold increase in c-myc mRNA levels. Additivity is also observed between PDGF with insulin or IGF-I, but not between insulin or IGF-I, in c-myc induction. C-myc mRNA levels remain elevated as long as the hormones are present, although there's a tendency for the mRNA levels to fall off with insulin and IGF-I.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
