Morphological Transformation of Chinese Hamster Cells by Dibutyryl Adenosine Cyclic 3′:5′-Monophosphate and Testosterone

Abstract

Treatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro with dibutyrl adenosine cyclic 3′:5′-monophosphate converts the culture from one of compact, randomly oriented cells that grow in multilayers to a monolayer of elongated, fibroblast-like cells growing parallel to one another. Testosterone propionate, which has a similar though smaller effect at high concentrations and after prolonged incubation, potentiates the action of dibutyryl cyclic AMP even when added at very low concentrations. The transformation is recognizable within one hour, affects cells throughout all or most of the life cycle, and is completely reversible. Both cell forms can reproduce, with approximately the same generation time. Agents like colcemid and vinblastine, which inhibit assembly of microtubules, prevent the transformation to the fibroblast-like form. It is postulated that the dibutyryl cyclic AMP and testosterone act by promoting organization of microtubules from protein monomers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
