A cell cycle model developed by Smith and Martin is generalized to allow for the possibility that the duration of the B phase is not fixed. The B phase is the equivalent of the traditional S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle. The duration of the B phase is represented by a Gaussian probability distribution; the duration of the resting or A state which replaces the traditional G1 phase is represented by a decaying exponential distribution. A doubling time distribution, termed the CEG distribution, is obtained by convolution of the A state and B phase distributions. Like the reciprocal normal, rate normal, and log normal distributions, it is a rounded unimodal peak that is skewed to the right. None of the three former distributions is associated with a cell cycle model that includes a resting state. However the CEG distribution, which is so associated, bears little resemblance to the delayed exponential distribution which results when the duration of the B phase is fixed and the duration of the A state is random. Consequently, it would be difficult to use the doubling time distribution to determine whether or not a resting state exists in a particular cell population.  相似文献

A formula was received for the mean mitotic duration of a cell population being at the phase of exponential growth of the cell number with the cell loss: tM = nM.tD.(1-phi)/ln 2, where nM is the mitotic index, tD is the doubling time of the cell number, and phi is the Steel cell loss factor. In the case when after irradiation of such a population a 100% radiation G2-block arises, the method of calculation of the tM according to the curve of the relative mitotic index decrease was shown to be independent on the value of parameter phi and to coincide with the same method to be used in the case when the cell population is at the steady state before irradiation. As the result of analysis of literary experimental data the following values were received: tM = 20 min and tM = 37-42 min for two cell subpopulations of the Ehrlich ascite tumour, resp., tM = 39 min for epithelial cells of the mouse cornea, and tM = 29 min for enterocytes of the mouse jejunum. It has been also shown that the values of the dose of cell irradiation and of the mean duration tG2" of the subphase G2" localized at the end of phase G2 and preceded by the G2-block satisfy the next formula: Ig D = -a . Ig tG2" + b.  相似文献

The review is concerned with the transition of cells into a specific physiological state—the resting period—in which they may stay for an indefinite time interval without undergoing division or differentiation but retaining both of these potentials. When stimulated such cells may enter into mitotic cycle, divide and differentiate. No direct correlation between the onset of the differentiated state and the transition of cells through the mitotic cycle has been established. It cannot be excluded that sometimes cells may differentiate directly from the resting period. However, there is a large body of evidence that the entry of cells into mitotic cycle is a necessary prerequisite for subsequent differentiation. The susceptibility of cells to differentiative stimuli is retained during the mitotic cycle. The completion of mitosis itself does not imply that a cell will undergo differentiation; in the absence of adequate stimulus it may pass again into a resting period. According to what is known at present it is suggested that cells may pass into a true resting stage not only after completing mitosis but also after doubling their DNA content. It is also conceivable that a cell may pass into a resting period at different stages of its life cycle. The essential feature of the cell life cycle is the alternation of resting periods and periods of active proliferation. This general principle of organization provides conditions necessary for population-size control, cell differentiation, interaction of a given population with other systems, and the reactions of cells to a changing environment.  相似文献

A Monte-Carlo simulation technique is introduced to study the spatial considerations of cellular distribution that affect the overall asynchronous process of population growth. The stochastic nature of cellular characteristics such as mitotic time, loss rate and direction of growth is considered. The fluctuation of these values from one generation to the next and from one cell to the other, is illustrated. Cells are assumed to grow in a two-dimensional honeycomb-like network such that a central cell is always surrounded with six equally distant sites. The modes of cellular growth are controlled mainly and simply by the existence of a definite number of neighbouring vacancies. An IBM-compatible PC-AT computer was used and a program written in Pascal is employed to simulate and follow up the growth of a single stem cell in a 40,000-sites network. The results of the proposed stochastic model illustrate the importance of the spatial interaction among growing cellular modes such that vacancies act as local sensors for a negative feedback mechanism regulating the overall growth pattern. The role of the resting mode (G0) in stabilising the overall growth pattern is discussed.  相似文献

Summary Growth hormone production by a rat pituitary tumor cell line (GH1) was measured during lag, exponential, and plateau phases of growth in different culture media. Growth hormone secretion was low during lag and early exponential phase; it increased late in the exponential phase and continued to increase during the plateau phase. This biphasic pattern of growth hormone production was observed in all media and sera utilized. Both the doubling time and growth hormone production were influenced by the choice of media and sera. In addition, the length of time in culture affected the growth fraction with passage level 40 GH1 cells having a 79% growth fraction, whereas the growth fraction of passage level 100 cells was 95%. Using the population doubling time as a criterion for a choice of medium, F-10 medium supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum consistently yielded the most rapid doubling time (32 hr), whereas Dulbecco's MEM supplemented with 15% horse serum and 2.5% fetal bovine serum yielded the greatest plateau cell density. Growth hormone secretion and the population doubling times were directly related to culture conditions including length of time in culture, choice of tissue culture media, choice of sera, and the phase of cell growth (lag, exponential or plateau).  相似文献

The ability of glycopeptides, isolated from bovine cerebral cortex, to alter cell division was studied by cell-cycle analyses. The results showed that glycopeptides arrested baby hamster kidney (BHK)-21 cells and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Upon removal of the growth inhibition from arrested BHK-21 cells, the mitotic index in colchicine-treated cultures increased from 5 to 40% within 6 h and the increase in mitotic activity was accompanied by a complete doubling of all arrested cells within this 6- h time period. Determination of DNA content in growth-arrested BHK-21 cells showed that growth-arrested cells contained about twice the DNA of control cell cultures. Although CHO cells treated in a like manner with growth inhibitor could not be arrested for the same length of time as BHK-21 cells (18 h vs. 72 h before initiation of escape) and to the same degree (60% of the cell population vs. 99% of BHK-21 cells), the escape kinetics of CHO cells did indicate a G2 arrest. Approximately 3.5 h after escape began, CHO cell numbers in treated cultures attained the cell numbers found in control cultures. This rapid growth phase occurring in less than 4 h indicated that the growth inhibitor induced a G2 arrest-point in CHO cells that was not lethal since the entire arrested cell population divided.  相似文献

When exponentially growing NHIK 3025 cells were shifted from medium containing 30% serum to medium containing 0.03% serum the rate of net protein accumulation was reduced due to both a reduction in the rate of protein synthesis and an increase in the rate of protein degradation. This change in growth conditions increased the protein doubling time from 18 to 140 h. The cell cycle duration of cells synchronized by mitotic selection was, however, only increased from 17 to 26 h by this treatment. Therefore, when the cells divide by the end of the first cell cycle following synchronization, the cells shifted to 0.03% serum contained far less protein than those growing continuously in 30% serum. Hence, the attainment of a critical cell mass is probably not controlling cell division for cells growing in a balanced state.  相似文献

Summary The effect of changes in osmotic pressure and in the Na+/K+ ratio on the doubling time, maximum cell population, enzyme activity, and isoenzyme distribution pattern in suspension cultures of L cells was determined. The growth of viable cells is relatively flat over a rather wide range of osmotic pressures (220 to 440 mOsm per kg). The presence of extra salt or sucrose beyond that needed to reach the minimum osmotic pressure (220) is detrimental to cell growth as reflected by a delay in the onset of logarithmic growth, a slower growth rate, a decreased maximum population, and accelerated death phase. Excessive K+ ion is toxic, but the level at which it is toxic interacts with osmotic pressure of the medium. Enzyme activity and isoenzyme distribution patterns for those enzymes studied did not vary as a function of osmotic pressure, ionic ratios, or medium concentration.  相似文献

Development of Drosophila imaginal discs is accompanied by a high-ordered cell proliferation. However, the distinctions in the topographic distribution of mitoses at different developmental stages are insufficiently studied. In this work, we have analyzed the distribution of mitoses in the wing disc of third-instar larvae and determined the regions where mitotic clustering. The results obtained demonstrate that the proliferation rate is region-specific, which is determined by the location of cell cycle regulators and/or the location of growth factors. A comparison of the topography of mitoses with the activity patterns of the regulatory regions of gene string (stg), a known regulator of the mitotic M phase, has demonstrated a similarity between the topography and the activity pattern of one of these regions. The similarity between mitotic distributions in the left and right discs of the same larva (compared with the similarity of gene neuralized expression patterns is considered, and the degree of histone H3 phosphorylation at various mitotic stages is analyzed.  相似文献

The growth of interstitial cell populations in Hydra magnipapillata was examined following transplantation of small numbers of interstitial cells into "epithelial animals" which lacked all cell types in the interstitial cell lineage. The distribution pattern of transplanted interstitial cells during the growth phase was examined by staining whole animals with toluidine blue and cell numbers were determined by maceration. The following results were obtained: (1) Transplanted interstitial cells formed a contiguous patch which spread distoproximally but not circumferentially. (2) The displacement of interstitial cells from parents to buds was a random process; buds incorporated interstitial cells only when they were formed in the vicinity of the patch. (3) Interstitial cells increased exponentially in number with a doubling time of 1.8 days for at least 10 days after transplantation, which is faster than the normal doubling time of 2.8 days. (4) The self-renewal probability at low interstitial cell levels was estimated to be 0.72, which was higher than the normal value of 0.64. This increase was attained by lowering the fraction of nematocyte differentiation. These results indicate that the homeostatic recovery of interstitial cell populations is attained by increasing the self-renewal probability rather than by preferential retention of interstitial cells in parent animals at the expense of buds (Heimfeld, 1985).  相似文献

The effect of serum on the growth properties of non-transformed Balb 3T3 A31 and SV40-transformed Balb 3T3 A31 was studied. The concentration of serum in the growth medium of non-transformed cells had little effect on the initial population doubling time, but did regulate the cell density at which the population became quiescent in G1. The doubling time of transformed cells, however, was increased significantly as the concentration of serum was decreased below 4%. This effect on the growth of transformed cells was seen at serum concentrations so low that non-transformed cells did not complete one population doubling. Flow microfluorometric analysis of these populations indicated that the primary effect of different serum concentrations on the non-transformed cells was to modulate the average residence time in G1, whereas, all the cell cycle phases of the transformed cells were affected by serum. At saturation densities, the non-transformed cells became quiescent in G1, but the transformed cells still traversed the cell cycle and their saturation density appeared to be a balance between cell production and cell death occurring primarily in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.  相似文献

The cell population kinetic parameters of the thymus in BALB/c mice have been estimated using stathmokinetic and [3H]TdR techniques in both control animals and animals treated with prednisolone. FLM data were analysed by computer using the Gilbert program. The study showed that prednisolone had an inhibitory effect mainly in the DNA synthesis phase and in G1. Stathmokinetic data also showed a decrease in the cell birth rate and an increase in the apparent cell cycle time (or potential doubling time) after treatment. The labelling index, the mitotic index and the growth fraction were also decreased. The study also shows a good agreement between the data obtained by stathmokinetic and [3H]TdR techniques.  相似文献

The distribution of Chinese hamster cells with respect to the compartments of the cell generation cycle was studied in cultures in the stationary phase of growth in two different media. A measure of the state of depletion of the nutrient medium was formulated by defining a quantity termed the nutritive capacity of the medium. This quantity was used to verify that the cessation of cell proliferation is due to nutrient deficiencies and not to density dependent growth inhibition. Cell cultures in stationary phase were diluted into fresh medium and as growth resumed, mitotic index, cumulative mitotic index, label index and viability were measured as a function of time. The distribution of cells with respect to compartments of the cell generation cycle in stationary phase populations was reconstructed from these data. Stationary phase populations of Chinese hamster cells that retained the capacity for renewed growth when diluted into fresh medium were found to be arrested in the G1 and G2 portions of the cycle; the relative proportion of these cells in G1 increased with time in the stationary phase, but the sequence differs in the two media. In early stationary phase, in the less rich medium, more cells are in G2 than in G1. Also in this medium a fraction of the population was observed to be synthesizing DNA during stationary phase, but this fraction was not stimulated to renewed growth by dilution into fresh medium.  相似文献

Chalone from Ehrlich's ascites tumour exerts a short-lived and reversible inhibitory effect on cell proliferation in the tumour both after a single and two-fold administration. 10 hours following single and two-fold injection of chalone (second injection was given at 6 p.m.), the mitotic index in tumour cells rises as compared to controls an evidence of chalone action on G(2) cell population of the mitotic cycle and synchronization of cell division. Repeated injection of chalone at 9 p.m. results in a more prolonged effect on the cells and in a more pronounced synchronization wave of G(2) cell population comparatively to its injection at 6 p.m. Thus the duration of cell inhibition in G(2) phase of the mitotic cycle depends with repeated administration of chalone, on the condition of cell population affected by chalone.  相似文献

Earlier we developed a "stationary phase aging" model and introduced a definition of life span of "stationary phase aging" cell cultures. In this model the cells grow after seeding in flasks without subcultivation and medium change. They reach cell saturation density, stop dividing, gradually degrade ("stationary phase aging") and perish. By the term "culture life span" we designate the time from cell seeding until culture death. We designate the culture as dead when the number of living cells is less than 10 per cent of their number at saturation density of cell culture. The life span of transformed Chinese hamster cells was found to be proportional to the duration of their growth from cell seeding up to saturation density, as well as to the number of cell culture doublings and to be inversely proportional to the velocity of cell culture doubling for the same growth period. Maximum life span of mammals is known to be proportional to pregnancy duration and to the age at puberty. We found that maximal life span of mammals was proportional to the number of cell population doublings and inversely proportional to the velocity of cell population doubling during embryonal period or for the time from zygote to growth termination. The dependences for cell cultures and for mammals are analogous to each other.  相似文献

The primary leaf of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Maris Huntsman) was used as a model system to examine how elevated ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B; λ= 280–320 nm) radiation affected growth. A reduction in the rate and duration of growth of the primary leaf, in response to UV‐B, was the result of changes in both the rate and extent of cell division and elongation. UV‐B reduced the proportion of mitotically active cells (mitotic index) and increased the time taken for cell division (cell doubling time). Thus the supply of cells into the elongation zone was reduced, and this, coupled to a reduction in the rate of elongation, resulted in reduced leaf growth. This analysis of the spatial distribution of growth provided a means of calculating the age of cells within the leaves. Cells of UV‐B‐treated leaves were found to age more quickly than those of the controls. This analysis will enable future studies to take account of age‐related changes when interpreting the response of plants to any number of environmental stresses that affect leaf development.  相似文献

Human NHIK 3025 cells growing exponentially in 30% or 3% serum had population doubling times of 19.1 and 27.6 hours, respectively. These values were equal to the calculated protein doubling times (17.6 and 26.5 hours, respectively), showing that the cells were in balanced growth at both serum concentrations. Stepdown from 30% to 3% serum reduced the rate of protein synthesis within 1–2 hours, from 5.7% hour to 4.3% hour, while the rate of protein degradation was unchanged (1.7%/hour). In cells synchronized by mitotic selection from an exponentially growing population, the median cell cycle durations in 30% and 3% serum were 17.2 and 23.6 hours, respectively, which were also in good agreement with the protein doubling times. The median G1 durations were 7.1 and 9.6 hours, respectively. Thus the duration of G1 relative to the total cell cycle duration was the same in the two cases. Complete removal of serum for a period of 3 hours resulted in a 3-hour prolongation of the cell cycle regardless of the time after mitotic selection at which the serum was removed. For synchronized cells, the rate of entry into both the S phase and into the subsequent cell cycle were reduced in 3% serum as compared to 30% serum, the former rate being significantly greater than the latter at both serum concentrations. Our results thus indicate that these cells are continuously dependent upon serum throughout the entire cell cycle.  相似文献

The dynamics of cell cycles in early embryogenesis of the peled has been studied using various methofs: determination of mitotic and mitotic phase index, of cell doubling time and of coefficient of asynchrony. The desynchronization of divisions begins at the V division after the longitudinal furrow has passed and is completed after the beginning of the cell cycle lengthening. The animal-vegetative gradient in the distribution of mitotic phases is observed at the early stages of desynchronization. The lengthening of cell cycle begins in interphase of the XI-XII cleavage and markedly accelerates from the interphase of the XII-XIII cleavage on. The methods of analysis of the cell cycles in early embryogenesis and possible factors influencing the dynamics of desynchronization are discussed.  相似文献
