Cell cultures of epidermis from newborn mice were established in chemically defined medium. Additions of retinyl acetate to these cultures caused a significant increase in cellular RNA content. Addition of insulin and hydrocortisone to the cultures potentiated the effect of retinyl acetate on cellular RNA content.
