Abstract

Cultured mouse and human cells were arrested in their growth by artificially depriving them of phosphate. The quiescent cells could be stimulated to synthesize DNA and to divide by addition to the growth medium of insulin, dialyzed serum and/or the full concentration of phosphate. In order to gain insight into mechanisms by which insulin and serum stimulate growth, the inhibitory effects of antimitotic agents were examined. Of the inhibitors tested, vinblastine and cytocalasin B abolished the growth promoting activity of insulin, while colchicine inhibited the activity of both serum and insulin. The present results suggest that insulinโ€stimulated growth is mediated by a different pathway than serumโ€stimulated growth and is sensitive to mechanisms that occur at various times prior to insulin addition.
