title: Synthesis and secretion by mouse 3T3 cells of an inhibitor of cell growth (mIGFBP-3): correlation with cell proliferation.
abstract: Our results show that stimulation by serum of dense cultures of 3T3 cells rapidly induced increased synthesis of a growth inhibitor (mIGFBP-3) capable of binding IGF. mIGFBP-3 was secreted by stimulated cells immediately after its synthesis, and accumulated in the medium. Accumulation of mIGFBP-3 in the medium increased, as a function of growth factor (bFGF, PDGF, insulin) concentrations and time. bFGF was the best stimulatory factor for both DNA synthesis and accumulation of mIGFBP-3 in the first 24 h of incubation. DNA synthesis was arrested after 48 h of incubation with bFGF when accumulation of mIGFBP-3 was maximal. Since we showed that mIGFBP-3 is able to inhibit bFGF stimulation of DNA synthesis in mouse fibroblasts, it is possible that the accumulation of mIGFBP-3 induces a feedback regulation of cell growth.
