| Popis: | Proliferation of six established human melanoma cell lines was inhibited after treatment for 1 h with a high dose of glucocorticoid. Four of the lines with the capacity of colony formation were used to quantify final plating efficiency. Specific glucocorticoid binding sites in these cell lines ranged from 51,000 to 170,000 sites per cell as measured with a whole-cell assay. Growth inhibition was completely reversible in one cell line, irreversible in another, and partially reversible in two lines. Receptor content per cell correlated with the reduction in final plating efficiency of glucocorticoid-treated cells, suggesting a receptor-mediated event. A more than 90% growth inhibition and a 40% reduction in cell survival in the most sensitive cell line, M-5A, was accompanied by a dual blockage in G1 and G2/M phase that lasted till at least 96 h after treatment with 2.5 microM dexamethasone for 1 h. Evidence is presented of a real arrest of M-5A cells in G1 phase and a markedly retarded progression through G2; the blockage of G1-S transition was immediate and complete. Accumulation of G1 cells was observed in two other cell lines but was inconsistent in the fourth line studied by flow cytometry; in none of the three cell lines was G2/M accumulation observed. Stimulated melanogenesis after glucocorticoid treatment of M-5A and NKI-26 cells suggested differentiation of the cells during glucocorticoid-induced arrest. |
