title: [Regulation of age-dependent phenomena. Influence of C6-substituted purines on cell aggregation and cell migration in primary cultures of lense epithelial cells].
abstract: The existence of an age dependent latent period of cell emigration has been proved in the primary culture of epithelial cells of bovine lenses. The previously described aggregation phenomenon as well as the latent period of the cell emigration increase with the age of the sponsor animals. Extracellular adenine and other C6-substituted purines, isolated from the cells themselves and added to the medium, act the same way on the lens cells in the primary culture as the increasing age of the sponsor animals. Adenine stimulates cell aggregation and inhibits the adhesion of the cells to the substratum, the cell flattening and the cell migration. The adenine action has been proved down to a concentration of 3 X 10(-6) M. During the primary culture, the lens cells gradually los the adenine sensitivity. The adenine action also occurs on single cells, isolated by trypsination, it differs from the reaction of ouabain and can be removed at low concentration by washing procedures. The results favour the suggestion C6-substituted purines to be involved in cell ageing.
