[DNA synthesis in heterokaryons obtained by the fusion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and cultured cells possessing different proliferative potentials].
Heterokaryons between terminally differentiated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PL) and culture cells of different proliferative potentials: mouse and rat embryo fibroblasts (EFM, EFR); immortal cells NIH 3T3 and E2; malignant cells NCC2, L929, He239 and SV 3T3,--were obtained by means of electrofusion. Radioautographic study of 3H-thymidine incorporation in the nuclei of heterokaryons showed that all the cells taken for fusion were able to induce reactivation of DNA synthesis in PL nuclei, however, with different rates: 7-37% for EFM and NIH 3T3 and 20-40% for malignant cells. The presence of oncogenes Elan in E2 cells and ras in NCC2 cells increased the rate of PL reactivation approximately twice as compared with the cells of original lines (EFR and NIH 3T3, correspondingly). In parallel to reactivation of DNA synthesis in PL nuclei inhibition of the synthesis in culture cell nuclei in the same heterokaryons was found. The rate of inhibition was about 70% for non-malignant and 23, 40 and 18% for NCC2, L and SV 3T3 cells, respectively. He239 cells, transformed by a temperature-dependent mutant of virus SV40 showed at permissive temperature the increased capacity of inducing reactivation of PL nuclei, though He239 cells susceptibility to inhibitory action of PL nuclei did not change with temperature. According to the behaviour in heterokaryons PL were found to be similar to chick erythrocytes, but differing from them by a pronounced inhibiting effect upon DNA synthesis in the nuclei of malignant cells.
