A unifying model of the cell proliferation emphasizing plasma membrane fluxes
Abstract
The regulation of cellular growth and proliferation is perhaps the most investigated and elusive problem in cell biology and seems to be possible to solve from almost any angle of study chosen. Among the non-systemic factors that have been discussed are genetic damage, genomic control, regulation by stimulatory and inhibitory peptide factors such as EGF, chalones, and fibronectin, protein kinase activation with tyrosine phosphorylation, adenylylcyclase and cAMP, cGMP, membrane perturbations and specifically in tumours the failure of the Pasteur effect in control of glycolysis, excessive membrane ATPase activity, and excessive hydrolytic and proteolytic activities at the cell surface. This article focuses on the central role of fluxes within the plasma membrane and re-examines the possibility that changes of flux of metabolites, ions, and reducing equivalents may be the common denominator regulating cellular proliferation.
