title: [Synthesis of DNA and alpha-fetoprotein in the monolayer culture of mouse hepatocytes].
abstract: Relation between processes of proliferation and synthesis of the embryonal serum protein alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), the influence on these processes of polyelectrolyte dextran sulfate (DS) and dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) has been studied in the monolayer culture of mouse hepatocytes. In control cultures the correlations between the time of appearance and the level of DNA and AFP synthesis were observed. DS and DMSO were found to inhibit both processes. Cell proliferation could be reestablished by addition of epidermal growth factor. In case of the influence of DMSO, it wasn't followed by the induction of AFP synthesis. This the processes of DNA and AFP synthesis in monolayer cultures of mouse hepatocytes can be separated. The elongated incubation of hepatocytes with collagenase during their obtaining, abolished the effects of DS. This shows that surface components of hepatocytes, lost upon enzyme degradation, may be involved in the mechanism of DS effect.
