The role of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the regulation of cell shape [switch between fibroblast-like and crescent shape (CS)] and of locomotion of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells has been investigated. The PKC activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) induced the transition of elongated fibro

โฆ Synopsis
We produced somatic cell hybrids between HT 1080-6TG human fibrosarcoma cells and either rat white blood cells (WBC) or cells directly derived from rat spleen. Karyologic and isozyme analyses of hybrid cells indicated that they preferentially lose rat chromosomes. Hypoxanthine-aminopterine thymidine-selected hybrid clones expressing rat hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) and containing the rat X chromosome were counterselected in a medium containing 30 micrograms/ml of 6-thioguanine. Concordant loss of the rat X chromosome and of the expression of rat HPRT and G6PD was observed in the hybrid clones.

## Abstract Hybrids between a tumorigenic Chinese hamster cell line (DC3Fโaza) and normal mouse thymus cells very rapidly lost most of their mouse chromosomes, whereas hybrids between tumorigenic mouse cell lines (either Cl.1D of L cell line origin, or PCC4โaza1 teratocarcinoma cells) and normal Ch
## Abstract Numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between dysregulation/loss of connexin expression or gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) function and decreased growth control both in human tumors and tumor cell lines. Likewise, restoration of constitutive connexin expressio
Considerable knowledge concerning developmental cell death has come from the study of somatic motor neurons (SMNs), but a related set of spinal neurons, the autonomic motor neurons (AMNs), have been studied less extensively in this respect. In the present study, we used three different approaches to
