title: [Phospholipid composition and turnover in normal and SV40 transformed fibroblasts. Effect of cell density].
abstract: The phospholipid composition and turnover in normal and in SV 40 transformed hamster fibroblasts were studied. The amount of phospholipid phosphorus relative to protein is lower in transformed hamster fibroblasts than in normal fibroblasts. This amount decreases with increasing cell density until stationary growth is reached. The decrease is largest for the normal fibroblasts. In transformed cells, less sphingomyelin and more diphosphatidyl glycerol are found than in normal cells. The turnover of 32P in sphingomyelin is slower in transformed cells than in normal cells ; the contrary is observed with diphosphatidyl glycerol. On the other hand, in transformed cells, phosphatidyl ethanolamine has a faster turnover than phosphatidyl choline, whereas the contrary is observed in normal cells. Finally, the change to stationary growth slows down the turnover of 32P of all phospholipids, this decrease being more important in transformed cells.
