## Abstract Recently, we have found that an increase in the intracellular level of cAMP acts as a mitogenic signal for Swiss 3T3 cells (Rozengurt et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 78:4392, 1981). The results presented in this paper demonstrate that addition of cAMP‐elevating agents to confluent a

✦ Synopsis
Micromolar concentrations of AI3+ are shown to be strongly mitogenic for quiescent cultures of Swiss 3T3 and 3T6 cells. AI3+ caused a striking shift in the dose-response curve for the effect of fetal bovine serum on 3H-thymidine incorporation. In the absence of serum the mitogenic effect of aluminum was greatly potentiated by insulin or cholera toxin, but not epidermal growth factor or 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate. The stimulation of DNA synthesis was maximal by 15-20 microM AI3+ X AI3+ at 100 microM had no inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis. AI3+ had no significant effect on cellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the presence or absence of insulin or an inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases.
