Recently, we have found that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 induce shape changes in the immunocytes of the mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis. Here we report that calphostin C and H-89, which specifically inhibit PKC and PKA, respectively, completely or in part inhibit the above effect. These data indicate the involvement of both pathways in growth factor-induced conformational changes in molluscan immunocytes. Furthermore, we show the presence of immunoreactive molecules for the Fos B, Jun D and Smad4 transcription factors. Stimulation by PDGF-AB or TGF-β1 up-regulate the intranuclear levels of these factors. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.

Abstract
Recently, we have found that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 induce shape changes in the immunocytes of the mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis. Here we report that calphostin C and H-89, which specifically inhibit PKC and PKA, respectively, completely or in part inhibit the above effect. These data indicate the involvement of both pathways in growth factor-induced conformational changes in molluscan immunocytes. Furthermore, we show the presence of immunoreactive molecules for the Fos B, Jun D and Smad4 transcription factors. Stimulation by PDGF-AB or TGF-β1 up-regulate the intranuclear levels of these factors. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
