pubmed:abstractText
We have assayed the growth stimulating activity of bovine insulin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and fetal bovine serum (FBS) in diploid human fibroblasts from normal and idiopathic hypopituitary donors. All three factors stimulated DNA synthesis in cells arrested by serum starvation. FGF was active at concentrations as low as 5 ng/ml with maximum effect at 100 ng/ml. FGF stimualted DNA synthesis at lower concentrations than did insulin and also produced a greater maximum response. Only serum was capable of supporting cell division and growth, but FGF accellerated this growth rate when it was added to serum-containing medium. Hydrocortisone, actinomycin D, and cycloheximide inhibit FGF stimulation. There was no significant difference between fibroblasts from normal and hypopituitary donors.
