The rate of DNA and protein biosynthesis in murine hepatoma HA-1 was accelerated when steroid hormones, containing a reduced delta4,3-keto group in the A-ring, were used in combination with apolipoprotein A-1. That was demonstrated for apolipoprotein A-1 complexes with dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and tetrahydrocortisol. Apolipoprotein A-1 complexes serve as a vehicle for steroids penetration into cells to influence protein biosynthesis.
