## Abstract Glucocorticoids act synergistically with insulinβlike growth factor I (IGFβI) to stimulate DNA synthesis and replication of cultured human fibroblasts. In the present study, we further define glucocorticoid and IGFβI interactive effects on human fibroblast metabolism and growth. IGFβI s

Insulin-like growth factor I1 is believed to play an important role in fetal growth and development. The insulin-like growth factor I1 gene expression is tissue specific and developmentally regulated. We have previously shown an enhanced level of insulin-like growth factor I1 messenger RNA and prote
## Abstract The influence of a human insulinβlike growth factor binding protein, hIGFBPβ1, on the action of IGFs on human osteosarcoma cells was examined. hIGFBPβ1 was found to block binding of IGFs to their receptors on MGβ63 cells and subsequent IGF stimulation of DNA synthesis. Concurrent incuba
differentiation is linked to growth of Caco-2 cells, with markers of functional differentiation increasing only after the cells stop proliferating (Pinto e t al., 1983). Given these limitations, Caco-2 cells appear to represent the most relevant in vitro model currently available for study of prolif
In order to analyze changes in metabolism of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) related to cell senescence and cell density, we compared human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) in the proliferatively vigorous first half (young cells) and senescent HDF in the last 10% (old cells) of the rep
