Using a procedure to stain cells simultaneously for cyclin B1 protein and DNA, we have examined cyclin B1 expression by flow cytometry in human cells under a variety of perturbing and nonperturbing conditions. The method described is useful for measuring relative differences in cyclin B level (immunochemically detectable epitope) as a function of cell cycle position on an individual cell basis and thus to examine cell cycle-related changes in cyclin B expression without prior cell synchronization. We show that in HeLa S3 cells, cyclin B1 accumulates in cells only after they become 4C and have resided in G2 for a short period of time. During colcemid-induced mitotic arrest cyclin B1 continues to accumulate in HeLa S3 cells, and under specific conditions of aphidicolin-induced unbalanced cell growth induced, cyclin B accumulates to supranormal levels prior to mitosis. Flow cytometric analysis of cyclin B expression and DNA content permits detailed examination of the effects of cell cycle perturbations on cyclin B expression under a variety of conditions. |
