Participation of PI3K, MAPK ERK1/2, and p38 in the realization of growth potential of mesenchymal precursor cells under in vitro conditions.

We studied the role of intracellular signal molecules PI3K, MAPK ERK1/2, and p38 in the realization of the growth potential of mesenchymal progenitor elements. Under in vitro conditions, PI3K и ERK1/2 specifi c inhibitors reduced fi broblastic colony- and cluster-formation and considerably suppressed proliferative activity of mesenchymal precursors. Blocker of p38 and protein kinase B had no effect on the function of fi broblast CFU.
