The significance and mechanism of extracellular calcium influx in the stimulation by PDGF of cell replication was investigated in density-arrested C3H 10T1/2 mouse fibroblasts. PDGF consistently stimulated a biphasic increase in the [Ca2+]i composed of a rapid transient release of calcium from intracellular storage sites followed by a sustained elevation, significantly greater than prestimulated levels, which was dependent upon the [Ca2+]e and persisted for at least 1 h. The percentage of cells incorporating [3H]-TdR into DNA after stimulation with PDGF+insulin was closely correlated with the magnitude of the sustained [Ca2+]i increase and to the [Ca2+]e. Selective inhibition of the sustained [Ca2+]i increase, by blocking calcium influx with La3+, completely inhibited progression to S phase without affecting the release of calcium from intracellular storage sites. Progression to S phase was inhibited by La3+ or the omission of added extracellular calcium only during PDGF exposure and not during treatment with insulin. PDGF-induced calcium influx was completely inhibited by La3+ whereas storage-dependent calcium influx (SDCI) induced by thapsigargin was unaffected. Pretreatment with TPA, forskolin, dibutyryl-cAMP, dibutyryl-cGMP, nifedipine, and TMB-8 had no effect on PDGF-induced calcium influx. These data suggest that the induction of replicative competence by PDGF is dependent upon the maintenance of a sustained increase in the intracellular calcium concentration due to the influx of extracellular calcium through a calcium influx pathway distinct from SDCI.
