Abstract
We studied PI3K, MAPK/EPK1/2 and p38-dependent signaling cascade under stimulation of the functions of mesenchymal progenitor cells by fibroblast growth factor. The important role of PI3K and EPK1/2 in the realization of their growth potential has been revealed. Experiments have demonstrated a blocking effect of PI3K inhibitor on proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells and EPK1/2 inhibitor on mitotic activity of the progenitor cells. The p38-mediated MAPK pathway did not play a role in determining the proliferative and differentiation status of fibroblast CFU.
