Reactive oxygen species have been implicated as possible second messengers in mitogenic signal transduction. We demonstrate that in normal fibroblasts the treatment with the two inhibitors of phagocytic NADH/NADPH oxidase prevents tyrosine phosphorylation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor upon the exposure of serum-deprived cells to growth factors. Furthermore, the inhibition of NADH/NADPH oxidase abolishes ERKs activation and p21(waf1) accumulation that occurs when cells are exposed to growth factors. Finally, NADH/NADPH inhibitors prevent the p66(Shc) Ser-phosphorylation induced by serum and by phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate, which suggests that the direct target(s) of reactive oxygen species is(are) located upstream from the machinery connecting growth factor receptors to Ras.
