Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Human glioblastoma-derived cell line, T98G, is arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle when serum is deprived. Using this cell line, we investigated the relation between the cell cycle and DNA single-stranded breaks, "nicks," by an in situ nick-translation method. When T98G cells were cultured without serum for 60 h, many small cells with condensed chromatin and scanty cytoplasm appeared. These small cells that were immunohistochemically considered to be in the G0 or early G1 phase had many nicks in DNA. When serum was added, these small cells with nicks disappeared within 1 to 4 h. VP-16, a DNA topoisomerase II inhibitor, delayed the disappearance of these small cells with nicks. This indicated that the action of DNA topoisomerase II on the chromatin is required to repair nicks in T98G glioma cells and to promote the progression from the quiescent to the proliferating phase.
