A simple, new method for determining the temporal location of arrests induced within the cell cycle is described. This method has the advantage that the initial, exponential cell population is unperturbed. It requires neither cell synchronization nor prior arrest of cells by starvation. The method involves partitioning cells located before and after the arrest point into classes of different DNA content. The magnitude of these classes, determined by flow microfluorimetry, is used to calculate the time of arrest within the cell cycle. The calculation utilizes an age distribution function which incorporates variability in cell-cycle durations. The method is used to derive the median time in the cell cycle when low serum arrests exponential Swiss 3T3 cells. The median durations of G1, S, G2 and M in these cells were: 5.4, 8.5, 3.0, and 0.7 h, respectively. Proliferating G1 cells with a median age of up to 3.2 h were blocked from entering S by reducing the exogenous serum concentration. G1 cells closer than approx. 2 h to S, S, G2 and M cells continued to transit the cell cycle. Preincubation of the cells in higher initial serum concentrations failed to alter this median age, indicating that adherence of serum factors to the cells does not influence the time determined. The data indicate that the G1 serum-sensitive events which finally direct cells toward either S or G0 are completed after approx. 2 h before S. Exposure to high serum apparently does not turn on DNA synthesis directly, but initiates an approx. 2 h sequence of required, late G1 events leading to S phase. 相似文献

The cell cycle of matrix cells in the telencephalon of the mouse embryo at different stages at day 10, 13, and 17 of gestation was investigated by means of 3H-thymidine autoradiography.The cell cycle time of matrix cells in the day 10 group was found to be 7.0 h, and lengthened linearly with embryonic age. The cell cycle times of day 13 and 17 groups were 15.5 and 26.0 h, respectively.The duration of G1 and S phases also lengthened linearly with embryonic age. The durations of G1 phase were 0.1, 6.8, and 13.8 h, for day 10, 13, and 17 groups, respectively, and those of S phase were 5.1, 6.9, and 10.4 h, for day 10, 13, and 17 groups, respectively. On the other hand, the durations of both G2 and M phases remained unchanged and these were 1.0 and 0.8 h, respectively, throughout the embryonic stages.It was a characteristic of the alteration of the cell cycle of the telencephalon during mouse embryonic life that not only G1 but also S phases lengthened linearly with embryonic age and both G2 and M phases remained constant. 相似文献

A method is described for quantitative study of the flux of cells through the cell cycle phases in in vitro systems perturbed by chemicals, such as chemotherapeutic agents. The method utilizes cell count and the flow cytometric technique of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) labeling, according to an optimized strategy. Cells are exposed to BrdUrd during the last minutes of drug treatment and fixed for analysis at 0, 1/3Ts, 2/3Ts, Ts, and Tc + TG1 recovery times, where Ts, TG1, Tc are the mean durations of phases S and G1 and of the whole cycle of control cells. As an example of application of the proposed procedure, a kinetic study of the effect of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (CNU) on the L1210 cell cycle is described. Simple data analysis, requiring only a pocket calculator, showed that cells in phases G1 and G2M at the end of a 1 h treatment with 1 microgram/ml CNU were fully able to leave these phases but were destined to remain blocked in the following G2M phase (G1 for a minority of them). We also found that cells initially in S phase were slightly delayed in completing their S phase and that 50% of them remained temporarily blocked in the subsequent G2M phase, irrespective of their position in the S phase. 相似文献

Cell cycle analysis typically relies on fixed time-point measurements of cells in particular phases of the cell cycle. The cell cycle, however, is a dynamic process whose subtle shifts are lost by fixed time-point methods. Live-cell fluorescent biosensors and time-lapse microscopy allows the collection of temporal information about real time cell cycle progression and arrest. Using two genetically-encoded biosensors, we measured the precision of the G1, S, G2, and M cell cycle phase durations in different cell types and identified a bimodal G1 phase duration in a fibroblast cell line that is not present in the other cell types. Using a cell line model for neuronal differentiation, we demonstrated that NGF-induced neurite extension occurs independently of NGF-induced cell cycle G1 phase arrest. Thus, we have begun to use cell cycle fluorescent biosensors to examine the proliferation of cell populations at the resolution of individual cells and neuronal differentiation as a dynamic process of parallel cell cycle arrest and neurite outgrowth. 相似文献

Clonal strains of rat pituitary tumour cells (GH3 cells) spontaneously produce and secrete prolactin and growth hormone. Chromosome analysis and DNA ploidy measurements revealed that the GH3 cells in the present study were triploid and had a decreased chromosome number compared to the parent strain. Monolayer cultures of these cells grow exponentially for 6-7 days with a mean doubling time of 54 h. Cell cycle distributions and phase durations were determined by micro-flow fluorometric measurements of cellular DNA content combined with computer calculations. During exponential growth the cell cycle distribution did not change (65.4% cells with a G1 phase DNA content, 24.9% with an S phase DNA content, and 9.7% with a (G2 + M) phase DNA content). Counting of mitoses gave 1.4% cells in M phase. The 3H-Tdr labeling indices were determined by autoradiography, and the results were in good agreement with the number of cells in S phase as calculated by micro-flow fluorometry. The phase durations were: Ts=15.9 h, TG2=6.2 h, TM=1.1 h, and TG1=30.9 h. TS and TM calculated from 3H-Tdr labeled and Colcemid treated cultures gave corresponding results. In plateau phase cultures the number of cells with a G1 DNA content increased to 80% and the number of cells with an S phase DNA content decreased to between 5% and 10%. The specific production of prolactin and growth hormone determined by radioimmunoassay showed two and four-fold increases respectively, during exponential growth. The hormone values decreased to initial or subinitial values (day 2 values) when approaching plateau phase. We conclude: that changes in the cell cycle distribution of the cell population cannot be responsible for the spontaneous alterations in hormone production during growth and that most of the hormone-producing cells must be in the G1 phase. 相似文献

Cell cycle progression was studied in serum-free batch cultures of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells, and the implications for proliferation and productivity were investigated. Cell cycle dynamics in KBM10 serum-free medium was characterized by an accumulation of 50-70% of the cells in the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle during the first 24 h after inoculation. Following the cell cycle arrest, the cell population was redistributed into G(1) and in particular into the S phase. Maximum rate of proliferation (micro(N, max)) was reached 24-48 h after the release from cell cycle arrest, coinciding with a minimum distribution of cells in the G(2)/M phase. The following declining micro(N) could be explained by a slow increase in the G(2)/M cell population. However, at approximately 100 h, an abrupt increase in the amount of G(2)/M cells occurred. This switch occurred at about the same time point and cell density, irrespective of medium composition and maximum cell density. An octaploid population evolved from G(2)/M arrested cells, showing the occurrence of endoreplication in this cell line. In addition, conditioned medium factor(s) were found to increase micro(N,max), decrease the time to reach micro(N,max), and decrease the synchronization of cells in G(2)/M during the lag and growth phase. A conditioned medium factor appears to be a small peptide. On basis of these results we suggest that the observed cell cycle dynamics is the result of autoregulatory events occurring at key points during the course of a culture, and that entry into mitosis is the target for regulation. Infecting the Sf9 cells with recombinant baculovirus resulted in a linear increase in volumetric productivity of beta-galactosidase up to 68-75 h of culture. Beyond this point almost no product was formed. Medium renewal at the time of infection could only partly restore the lost hypertrophy and product yield of cultures infected after the transition point. The critical time of infection correlated to the time when the mean population cell volume had attained a minimum, and this occurred 24 h before the switch into the G(2)/M phase. We suggest that the cell density dependent decrease in productivity ultimately depends on the autoregulatory events leading to G(2)/M cell cycle arrest. 相似文献

The origin of cell cycle variability was investigated in NHIK 3025 cells synchronized by mitotic selection from an exponentially growing population. The variability in G1 durations was measured by flow cytometric analysis of the fraction of cells in G1 as a function of time after mitotic selection. Immediately before the first cells entered S, medium containing 2.0 mM thymidine was added to the cells, and removed when all the cells had reached S. Since the cells had approximately the same DNA content upon removal of the thymidine, the variability in the durations of S+G2+M was measured by counting the fraction of undivided cells as a function of time after removing the thymidine. Such a thymidine treatment did not affect the naturally occurring variability in cell cycle durations generated after the start of S. The results indicate that the cell cycle variability of NHIK 3025 cells can be adequately described by a cell cycle model consisting of at least two compartments, which the cells leave according to first order kinetics. The model accounts for the initial shoulder of the curve representing the fraction of undivided cells as a function of time after mitotic selection. Furthermore, it accounts for the reduction in the rate of entry into the subsequent cell cycle compared to the rate of entry into S. Both rate constants were equally reduced after serum stepdown. 相似文献

This protocol describes methods for calculating the proliferative parameters of cell populations. The basis of the technique is to label cells, either in vitro or in vivo, with halogenated thymidine analogs, such as bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). Bivariate DNA-BrdU flow cytometry is used to analyze the BrdU-labeled and unlabeled cells. The enumeration of specific cohorts of cells that either have or have not divided in the interval between labeling and cell/tissue sampling permits the calculation of the potential doubling time (T(pot)) of the population, plus the durations of DNA synthesis (T(S)) and the G2+M phase (T(G2+M)) of the cell cycle. The method provides information that is not otherwise available, namely inhibition of DNA synthesis and the separate evaluation of cell-cycle effects in BrdU-labeled and unlabeled subpopulations. Ethanol-fixed samples take 1 d to prepare and stain, and reliable parameter estimates might be obtained from measurements made at a single time point after labeling. 相似文献

Effects of monocerin on cell cycle progression in maize root meristems synchronized with aphidicolin
Summary Monocerin is a benzopyran fungal toxin with broad activity on plants, fungi and insects. Its effect upon cell cycle progression has been analyzed in maize roots. Meristematic cells were synchronized by treatment with aphidicolin. Flow cytometric DNA analysis and mitotic indices indicated durations of 1.5 h, 5 h, 2 h and 1 h for respectively G1, S, G2 and M phases of the normal cell cycle at 25°C. Treatment of these synchronized meristems with 0.5 mM monocerin during release after an aphidicolin block produced a short delay in S phase and then a more important delay (about 2.5 h) in entry into mitosis. Treatments for similar durations (3 h) during progression through the cycle revealed two periods of action of monocerin. The first appears to be mid to late S and the second one G2, before the transition point between G2 and M. Action on either one of these target periods could lead to a delay in the G2/M transition, but these two responses did not appear to be additive.Abbreviations APH

The effects of cell cycle on recombinant protein production and infection yield in the baculovirus-insect cell expression system (BES) were investigated. When, at any cell cycle phase, the host cell was infected by baculovirus, the cell cycle was finally arrested at the S or G(2)/M phase with 4n DNA. In the case of G(1) or S phase-infection, cell cycle of virus-infected cells began to be arrested at S phase from 8 h post-infection or at G(2)/M phase from 4 h post-infection, respectively; while, in the case of M phase-infection, cell cycle was arrested at S phase after 12 h post-infection. When the host cell was infected at the G(1) phase, average intracellular GFPuv fluorescence intensity was 1.3-fold higher than that at G(2)/M phase at 24 h post-infection. The GFPuv expression corresponded to the profile of the G(1) cell cycle in the BES. Infection yield was measured by detection of intracellular DNA binding protein using immunohistochemical method within 7 h post-infection. The infection yield at G(1) or S phase-infection was 1.5-1.8-fold higher than that at G(2)/M phase-infection. 相似文献

The relationship between differentiation and the cell cycle of mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells was studied. The cells were induced to differentiate into macrophage-like cells by treatment with conditioned medium (CM) of hamster embryo cells. CM-treated cells traversed the S phase of the cell cycle at least once, then a fraction of the cells lost the ability to enter the S phase and accumulated in the G1 phase. Incorporation of [3H]thymidine in phagocytosis-induced cells decreased after 12–18 h of CM treatment. The morphology of the differentiated cells changed and the nucleus-cell ratio (NCR) of the individual cells decreased significantly between 12 h and 24 h of CM treatment. The decrease in NCR was well associated with arrest of proliferation in the G1 phase of the cells. The results suggest that G1 arrest of CM-treated M1 cells is an expression of cellular characteristics encoded in the differentiation program. 相似文献

Treatment of mammalian cells with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) produces a G1 to S (G1/S) phase cell cycle block. In addition, it has been noted that a smaller proportion of cells accumulates in the G2/M compartment in 1,25D3-treated cultures. Since cyclins have a major influence on the regulation of cell cycle progression, we determined the expression of cyclins A and B as markers of the G2 phase and of cyclin E as the marker of G1/S transition. No increase in the steady-state levels of cyclin A or cyclin B mRNA was detected in the total cell population or in the cyclin B1 protein in the G2/M cell cycle compartment. In contrast, immunodetectable cyclin E protein was increased in cell cultures as a whole and specifically in the G2/M compartment cells. Determination of BrdU incorporation into DNA by flow cytometry showed marked inhibition of DNA replication in cells with DNA content higher than 4C, and autoradiography of 3H-TdR-pulsed cells showed that polynucleated cells did not replicate DNA after 96 h of treatment with 1,25D3 or analogs. Taken together, these experiments show that at least a portion of the G2/M compartment in 1,25D3-arrested cultures of HL60 cells represents G1 cells at a higher ploidy level, which are blocked from entering the high ploidy S phase. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The cell kinetic parameters of K-562 leukemia cells were studied using microwell cultures in which growth was initiated from a single cell. Total population growth was studied by direct enumeration, 3H-thymidine labelling, and flow cytometry. Clonogenic cell growth was studied by replating and 3H-thymidine suicide. In 7-day clones of K-562 cells, durations of the total cell cycle, G1, S, G2, and M phases were 20.8 h, 3.5 h, 12.9 h, 3.3 h, and 1.1 h, respectively; the growth fraction was 0.92 and the cell loss factor was 0.084. Study of colony-forming cells by replating indicated that clonogenic cells comprised 40% of total cells. 3H-Thymidine suicide showed that cell-cycle duration for these cells was 22.5 h and that S-phase duration was 11.7 h. 相似文献

When Chinese hamster ovary cells were seeded in the presence of the spermine analog N1,N11-diethylnorspermine (DENSPM), cell proliferation ceased; this was clearly apparent by cell counting 2 days after seeding the cells. However, 1 day after seeding there was a slight difference in cell number between control and DENSPM-treated cultures. To investigate the reason for this easily surpassed slight difference, we used a sensitive bromodeoxyuridine/flow cytometry method. Cell cycle kinetics were studied during the first cell cycle after seeding cells in the absence or presence of DENSPM. Our results show that DENSPM treatment did not affect the progression of the cells through G1 or the first G1/S transition that took place after seeding the cells. The first cell cycle effect was a delay in S phase as shown by an increase in the DNA synthesis time. The following G2/M transition was not affected by DENSPM treatment. DENSPM treatment inhibited the transient increases in putrescine, spermidine, and spermine pools that took place within 24 h after seeding. Thus, in conclusion, the first cell cycle phase affected by the inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis caused by DENSPM was the S phase. Prolongation of the other cell cycle phases occurred at later time points, and the G1 phase was affected before the G2/M phase. 相似文献

The effect of low pH on sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE), chromosomal aberrations (CA), and the cell cycle were investigated in Chinese hamster cells. The cells were treated in media over the pH range 7.2–5.4 during 24-h continuous or 3-h pulse treatments. In Chinese hamster ovary K1 cells, slight increases in SCE frequency were induced by 3-h pulse treatment with a 28-h recovery time. In Chinese hamster V79 379A cells, similar slight increases in SCE frequency were observed with both treatments. A severe delay in the cell cycle was noted in both cell types. DNA analysis with flow cytometry indicated that the cell cycle delay occured in S phase. CA were observed in the first metaphase. Multiple fixation times over a 27-h period were used to determine whether or not CA could be induced in cells exposed to low pH medium in more than one part of the cell cycle. Only a few chromatid gaps were induced when the cells were fixed at 0–9 h after the 3-h treatment, most probably representing cells that were treated in their G2 or late S phase. CA were induced in cells fixed between 12 and 27 h after the 3-h treatment. These cells were most probably treated in early S phase, in G1, or in the previous G2/M. These results suggest that low pH clastogenicity is S-dependent. 相似文献

ABSTRACT By adding the protein synthesis inhibitor, emetine (10-4 M) to a highly synchronized population of Crypthecodinium cohnii Biecheler 1938 at different phases of its cycle, we were able to determine: 1. The existence and the lengthening of the G2-Phase (30 min) in the first cycle (cycle with swimming G1 phase). 2. The time of the second cell cycle phases (cycle in the cyst): G1, 30 min; S, 1.5 h; G2, 2 h and M, 2 h. These results, together with the estimation of the cell volume of the two and four swimming daughter cells emerging from the cysts, allowed us to state the existence of two transition points: G1/S and G2/M, which are necessary for completion of mitosis. We completed this refined approach of the cell cycle in studying the activities of the histone H1 kinase either in dividing or in non-dividing Crypthecodinium cohnii cells with either total soluble proteins or the isolated mitotic kinase complex. The H1 kinase activity of this purified complex is noticeably higher (twice as high) in the dividing cells than in the non-dividing ones. These data are discussed in the light of the basic characteristics of the dinokaryon, and also compared with recent biochemical observations on the same organism and studies on other higher eukaryotic protists and metazoa. 相似文献

Competency for self-renewal of human embryonic stem (ES) cells is linked to pluripotency. However, there is a critical paucity of fundamental parameters of human ES cell division. In this study we show that human ES cells (H1 and H9; NIH-designated WA01 and WA09) rapidly proliferate due to a very short overall cell cycle (15-16 h) compared to somatic cells (e.g., normal diploid IMR90 fibroblasts and NT-2 teratocarcinoma cells). The human ES cell cycle maintains the four canonical cell cycle stages G1, S, G2, and M, but the duration of G1 is dramatically shortened. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and FACS analysis demonstrated that 65% of asynchronously growing human ES cells are in S phase. Immunofluorescence microscopy studies detecting BrdU labeled mitotic chromosomes, Ki67 domains, and p220(NPAT) containing Cajal bodies revealed that the durations of the S ( approximately 8 h), G2 ( approximately 4 h), and M phases ( approximately 1 h) are similar in ES and somatic cells. We determined that human ES cells remain viable after synchronization with either nocodazole or the anti-tumor drug Paclitaxel (taxol) and have an abbreviated G1 phase of only 2.5-3 h that is significantly shorter than in somatic cells. Molecular analyses using quantitative RT-PCR demonstrate that human ES cells and somatic cells express similar cell cycle markers. However, among cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), we observed high mRNA levels for the G1-related CDK4 and cyclin D2 genes. We conclude that human ES cells exhibit unique G1 cell cycle kinetics and use CDK4/cyclin D2 related mechanisms to attain competency for DNA replication. 相似文献

Roots of Vicia faba were treated with H3-Thymidine (1 C/ml) for one hour, either before or after a three hour treatment with a 10–5 M solution of kinetin. The durations of the mitotic cycle and its constituent phases were then derived from the curves recording the rhythmic entry and exit of labeled cells in prophase, both for the kinetin treated roots and the controls. The rate of DNA synthesis was also determined for the control roots and for roots exposed to H3-Thymidine immediately following treatment with kinetin. — Control values for the durations of the mitotic cycle, G1, S, G2 and mitosis were in agreement with most of the results reported in the literature. Kinetin treatment resulted in an increase in the rate of DNA synthesis, but did not affect the number of cells undergoing DNA synthesis, i.e. kinetin, or a similar compound, may be involved in the control of the rate of DNA synthesis in plant root meristems, but it does not appear to be involved in the control of the initiation of the S period of interphase. — The durations of G1 and G2 are shorter and longer respectively in the kinetin treated roots as compared with the control values. Changes in the durations of these phases of interphase, S, cycle time and the rate of cell proliferation have been discussed with respect to time after kinetin treatment and their possible relationship to carbohydrate metabolism.Research supported by an Assistant Professor Research Grant from the University of Missouri — St. Louis. 相似文献
