“…Current research has demonstrated that mitogens such as serum, insulin, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor or lectins all affect Ca*+ availability or mobilize cations in cells [29-401. In particular it appears likely that an amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ antiport is activated by many mitogens causing Na+ to enter cells in exchange for H+ ions and provoking the subsequent exchange of intracellular Na+ for Ca*+ ions as occurs in other systems [33,36,41- Ca*+ could also decrease cyclic AMP availability by inhibiting adenylate cyclase or stimulating cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase which would further reduce the restraints exerted by cyclic AMP on growth [56,57]. These and other observations suggest that the intracellular (cytoplasmic?)…”
