Abstract12‐O‐tetradecanolyphorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA), a potent tumor promoter, acts similarly to growth factors by selectively increasing the rate of production of the secreted proteins, mitogen regulated proteins (MRP) and major excreted protein (MEP) by murine 3T3 cells. MRP, a 34 kilodalton (kDa) glycoprotein, is a member of the prolactin‐growth hormone family of proteins. MEP, a 39 kDa glycoprotein, is a lysosomal thiol protease that is also secreted. The aim of our investigation was to determine the relation between increases in MRP and MEP production and the initiation of DNA synthesis in response to mitogens. The TNR‐9 cell lines is a variant of 3T3 cells in which growth factors, but not TPA and teleocidin, stimulate DNA synthesis and cell division. Usibng [35S]methionine to metabolically label proteins and SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to resolve the proteins, we found that growing cultures of 3T3 and TNR‐9 cells responded equally well to TPA and teleocidin with increased rates of production of MRP and MEP. by conrast, the responses of quiescent TNR‐9 cells to these tumor promoters in the increased production of MRP and MEP was greatly diminished compared with quiescent 3T3 cells. The changes in production of MRP in response to tumor promopters in quiescent and growing cells paralleled similar changes in the level of MRP mRNA. In summary, the ability to TPA and teleocidin to increase the rate of production of MRP and MEP correlated with the ability of these tumor promoters to stimulate DNA synthesis in quiescent 3T3 and TNR‐9 cells. Evidently the biochemical condition that distinguishes TNR‐9 from 3T3 cells and that limits the ability of tumor promoters to stimulate the production of MEP and MRP, and perhaps also DNA synthesis in TNR‐9 cells occurs only when th
