Abstract

The growth regulation of human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) cultured in a growth factor/hormone‐enriched (e.g. EGF, insulin) medium with bovine pituitary extract as the only undefined supplement was studied. The doubling times of the cultures, in which the cells appear in colonies, was 55‐72 h, and a considerable intercolonial heterogenecity in proliferative activity could be demonstrated. However, every colony, irrespective of the size of the growth fraction, comprised a sub‐population of rapidly growing cells which had a mean generation time of approximately 22 h. When insulin was removed from the culture medium, HMEC proliferation was inhibited. This growth inhibition was shown to be a result of a cell cycle‐specific block.
