摘要: 12-O-TETRADECANOYL PHORBOL-13-ACETATE (TPA), a potent tumour-promoting agent, stimulates the proliferation of various cell types, including fibroblasts, in culture (see ref. 1 for review). Recent studies have demonstrated that there is close correlation between potency phorbol esters promoting skin tumours and their ability to stimulate DNA synthesis cultured cells2. The growth-stimulating activity TPA completely dependent on presence serum nutrient medium. This requirement has been cultures mouse epidermal cells3 fibroblastic cells4,5. role cellular response remains unresolved. We report here can be replaced by polypeptide hormones like growth factor (EGF)6, insulin isolated from conditioned medium SV40 BHK cells (fibroblast-derived factor, FDGF)7.
