✦ Synopsis

We have investigated the in vitro action of helium-neon (He-Ne) laser light on the cell cycle and the growth of rat kidney epithelial cell cultures. Dose-response studies showed that repeated He-Ne irradiation (dose rate 40 mW/cm2) once a day in a dose range between 11.9 and 142 J/cm2 significantly inhibited cell growth, while daily irradiation with 4.7 J/cm2 had no effect. Microscopic examination of nuclear spreads revealed an increased number of cells in mitosis after a single irradiation with 142 J/cm2. These results support previous observations suggesting that laser light of low thermal energy interferes with cell cycling and may inhibit cell growth when irradiation is performed at doses of 11.9 J/cm2 or more.

## Abstract Insulin‐like growth factor binding protein‐3 (IGFBP‐3) has been proposed to mediate the growth inhibitory effects of transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β in breast and prostate cancer cells. Both TGF‐β and exogenous IGFBP‐3 inhibit DNA synthesis in Mv1 mink lung epithelial cells (CCL64).

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) can inhibit cell growth by directly interacting with cells, as well as by forming complexes with IGF-I and IGF-II that prevent their growth-promoting activity. The present study examines the mechanism of inhibition of DNA synthesis by IGFBP-3 in
