Abstract

Previous work from this laboratory (Rovera and Baserga, 1971) has shown that, when density‐inhibited WI‐38 human diploid fibroblasts are stimulated to proliferate by a change of medium, the synthesis of nuclear acidic proteins increases within 30 minutes after stimulation; several hours before DNA synthesis begins to increase. Similar results have now been obtained with density‐inhibited 3T6 mouse fibroblasts, also stimulated by a change of medium.

Gel electrophoretic analysis of nuclear acidic proteins in both WI‐38 human diploid fibroblasts and 3T6 mouse fibroblasts stimulated to proliferate indicates that the increased synthesis of nuclear acidic proteins is limited to certain classes of proteins while other classes are totally unaffected.

The increase in nuclear acidic proteins synthesis is inhibited when WI‐38 cells or 3T6 cells are stimulated in the presence of 5‐azacytidine (10 μg/ml), a treatment which also inhibits the subsequent stimulation of DNA synthesis.

These results, confirming and extending similar findings previously reported in other models of stimulated DNA synthesis, lend further support to the hypothesis that nuclear acidic proteins may play a critical role in the control of DNA synthesis and cell division in mammalian cells.
