title: Correlation of endogenous acetyl-ser-asp-lys-pro plasma levels in mice and the kinetics of pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells entry into the cycle after cytosine arabinoside treatment: fundamental and clinical aspects.
abstract: A decrease of endogenous acetyl-ser-asp-lys-pro (AcSDKP) levels in murine plasma was observed after Ara-C treatment. This decrease preceded the entry of pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells (CFU-S) into the cell cycle. This suggests a correlation between CFU-S kinetics and levels of endogenous AcSDKP. The subsequent increase of AcSDKP levels seem to indicate a feedback mechanism which should permit the reestablishment of homeostasis in the stem cells. Therefore, the expulsion of the physiological brake may be the response to a signal (stimulatory factors) to start dividing and the retention of the physiological brake may the mechanism for a return to normal values of cell proliferation.
