| pubmed-article:3158389 | pubmed:abstractText | Non-neoplastic T51B rat liver epithelial cells cannot proliferate in Ca2+-deficient medium. This proliferative inhibition in Ca2+-deficient medium is accompanied by a large reduction in the amount of cellular EDTA-extractable Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) activity. By contrast, tumorigenic epithelial cells from several Morris hepatomas proliferate in Ca2+-deficient medium and either maintain or greatly increase their content of EDTA-extractable protein kinase C. | lld:pubmed |
