## Abstract Human NHIK 3025 cells, synchronized by mitotic selection, were given 2 mM thymidine, which inhibited DNA synthesis without reducing the rate of protein accumulation. After removal of the thymidine the cells proceeded towards mitosis and cell division, with an S duration 2 hours shorter

Abstract
It has been reported that the human cell line NHIK 3025 has a specific cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor. When these cells were exposed to glucocorticoids, the cell cycle time was prolonged. Cells, synchronized by mitotic selection, were subjected to the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone throughout the cell cycle. Only cells exposed in the first half of G1 phase had a lengthened cell cycle time. Most of the prolongation was also located within the G1 phase. The dexamethasone growth inhibition was reversible and could be detected only in the cell cycle where the cells were exposed to the steroid. DNA‐histograms of asynchronous cells were recorded by flowcytometry at various times after steroid exposure. These histograms also showed G1 phase sensitivity and G1 phase prolongation after exposure to dexamethasone. Our results thus indicate that these cells have a dexamethasone‐sensitive restriction point in mid‐G1 phase of the cell cycle.

## Abstract The cell cycle kinetics of NHIK 3025 cells, synchronized by mitotic selection, was studied in the presence of cycloheximide at concentrations (0.125‐1.25 μM) which inhibited protein synthesis partially and slowed down the rate of cell cycle traverse. The median cell cycle duration was
We have studied the effect of cell anchorage on the human cell line NHlK 3025 in vitro, to see whether the growth regulating effect of cell anchorage primarily affected DNA division cycle or mass growth cycle. It was found that cell to cell anchorage had the same effect on cell cycle progression as
