A cell cycle model based on the transition probability model of Smith & Martin has been extended to non-balanced growth conditions in batch cultures. The model considers transition to a quiescent cell fraction, variable maturity-velocity, exogenous maintenance, and cell death. This extended model is

✦ Synopsis
A cell cycle model based on the concept of a transition probability first proposed by Smith & Martin has been implemented as a differential equation model. The probabilistic A-state is modeled as a lumped parameter while the deterministic B-phase is modeled as a distributed parameter, and analytical solutions for both the population and the fraction of labeled mitosis (FLM) curves are derived under balanced growth conditions. Contributions toward cell cycle variability by single and double random transitions are considered. A double transition model provides a more realistic description of the cell cycle time distribution. For gross cell population behavior, a single transition from the A-state to the B-phase may provide acceptable approximation. In spite of the simplification, the single transition Smith & Martin model is shown to describe the gradual asynchronization of a cell population.

The transition probability cell cycle model is extended to describe both cell cycle variability and incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd). The model can simulate BrdUrd uptake in both pulsechase and continuous-labeling experiments. With the use of a random transition, variability due to cell c
When quiescent cells in monolayer culture are stimulated to proliferate with growth factor, the entry into S-phase or mitosis appears to follow first-order kinetics, with a probability to enter the cell cycle that depends on growth factor concentration (Smith and Martin, 1973). Suboptimal growth fac
