Abstract
DNA synthesis in guinea pig lung fibroblast cultures was shown to be stimulated by endotoxins, PGE[prostaglandin]2, CTAP[connective tissue activating peptide]-P2 and insulin; indomethacin and cortisol partially reversed some of these effects. DNA synthesis in human lung fibroblasts was also markedly stimulated by CTAP-III, while the response to endotoxins was less striking.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
