The effect of the phorbol ester tumor promoter 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13acctatc (TF'A) on cell invasion was studied using an in vitro assay for cell invasion through a reconstituted basement membrane matrix (Matrigel). TPA inhibited the invasiveness of malignant human fibrosarcoma HTI 080 cells.

and cellular effects of initiating carcinogens and tumor promoters is presented. According to this model, initiating carcinogens induce stable alterations in the cellular genome but these are not manifested until tumor promoters modulate programs of gene expression and induce the clonal outgrowth of the initiated cell.

## Abstract Evidence is presented which suggests the existence of at least two growth control points in cultured mammalian cells. These controls are in βparallelβ rather than in βseries.β It is suggested that in normal and some transformed cells the controls are coupled while in SV40 transformed ce
