## Abstract __Helicobacter pylori__ lives in the stomach lumen adhering and specifically interacting with gastric epithelial cells. __H. pylori__ infection can cause a broad range of diseases. Although most infected individuals only develop a chronic inflammation of the stomach, some patients progr

✦ Synopsis
L-thioproline (thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid, L-Tp) reduces DNA synthesis in cultured HeLa cells by about 50% when added to synchronized cultures at the beginning of GI phase. This inhibition is not observed when the drug is added at mid-S, in G2 or in M. L-Tp almost annuls the burst in 22Na uptake occurring at the beginning of GI and is as potent an inhibitor as amiloride. It is also able to delay the apparition of the early S-specific cAMP peak and to elevate its intracellular concentration. These results indicate that L-Tp could decrease tumor cell growth by acting at the GI-S boundary.

HeLa cells cultured in a biotin-deficient medium show reduced rate of protein synthesis, DNA synthesis and growth. Addition of exogenous biotin to the cells cultured in biotin-deficient medium results in enhanced protein synthesis, DNA synthesis and cell growth. Continuous protein synthesis is requi
