[Curve of labeled mitoses in different kinetic states of cell proliferation. III. Experiments with a mathematical model].
By means of computer simulation, the dynamic structure of labeled mitoses curve (LMC) has been investigated. Experiments using computer demonstrated the dependence of LMC form not only on the values of temporal parameters of the mitotic cycle, but also on the state of cell proliferation kinetics before and after pulse labeling. Of particular interest was a case of a temporal block of cell entry into the S period which has been studied in a greater detail. The results of modelling experiments have shown that the universally accepted graphic procedures for the evaluation of mean durations of S- and G2-periods (using 50%-level of LMC) yield the satisfactory estimates only for systems with stationary age distribution for cells in the mitotic cycle (steady, in the strict sense, and exponential states of cell proliferation kinetics). The paper presents also the kinetic interpretation of certain abnormalities in LMC form arising from some peculiarities of cell population kinetics in the real biological experiment.
