Treatment of Daudi cells with human lymphoblastoid interferons for up to 5 days progressively inhibits cell proliferation. For the first 3 days cells continue to grow but with prolonged doubling times; subsequently, net proliferation ceases and is accompanied by a loss of cell viability. We have investigated the changes in labelling of DNA with radioactive precursors which occur during the first phase of the response to interferon treatment. We have shown previously [Gewert et al. (1981) Eur. J. Biochem. 116, 487-492] that inhibition of incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA can be accounted for by impairment of thymidine transport and thymidine kinase activity. In spite of this inhibition, the total intracellular dTTP pool is larger in interferon-treated than in control cells. Because of these changes it has been necessary to use other methods to determine whether interferon treatment inhibits the overall rate of DNA synthesis. The results of experiments employing (a) moderately high thymidine concentrations or (b) incorporation of radioactivity from deoxynucleoside triphosphates into DNA in detergent-lysed or permeabilised cell systems indicate that there is in fact relatively little inhibition of the overall rate of DNA synthesis in cells exposed to up to 100 units/ml of interferons for at least 48 h. Furthermore, a similar proportion of cells incorporate [3H]thymidine in control and interferon-treated cultures and there is only a small decrease in the number of cells in S phase after interferon treatment, as revealed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. These results indicate that cell proliferation may be regulated in this system by a mechanism in which there is a loss of coordination between the initiation of DNA synthesis and the subsequent events required for cell division. |
