| Popis: | This paper describes the determination of cytokinetic properties of asynchronous and cytosine arabinoside- (Ara-C) treated KHT tumors growing in vivo using the bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd)/DNA analysis technique. The cytokinetic properties of asynchronously growing tumors were estimated by computer analysis of sequential BrdUrd/DNA distributions measured at 2- to 3-h intervals after administration of a single i.p. injection of BrdUrd. The cytokinetic properties of the Ara-C-treated tumors were estimated by computer analysis of BrdUrd/DNA distributions measured at 2- to 3-h intervals after Ara-C treatment. BrdUrd was injected 30 min prior to tumor harvest. The cytokinetic properties of the cells rendered nonclonogenic by Ara-C were followed in BrdUrd/DNA distributions measured at 2- to 3-h intervals after Ara-C treatment of tumors that were labeled with BrdUrd 30 min prior to Ara C injection. The G1-, S-, and G2M-phase durations were estimated to be 7.6, 10.9, and 2.0 h prior to Ara-C; decreasing to 1.2, 4.1, and 1.4 after Ara-C. The growth fraction was estimated to be 0.8 prior to Ara-C. Complete recruitment of the normally noncycling subpopulation was observed after Ara-C treatment. Ara-C-killed cells were removed from the tumor within 24 h following Ara-C injection. These cytokinetic properties were similar to those reported in other studies. |
