title: [Effect of dihydrocytochalasin B on the induction of DNA synthesis by epidermal growth factor, insulin and serum in Swiss 3T3 cells].
abstract: The addition of a microfilament-disorganizing agent--dihydrocytochalasin B B (5-10 micrograms/ml)--to to quiescent confluent or sparse (in 0.5% serum) Swiss 3T3 cells, 1-2 hours prior to stimulation, inhibited the initiation of DNA synthesis induced by an epidermal growth factor (7.5-10 ng/ml) and insulin (0.5-1.0 micrograms/ml), but exerted a low effect on serum stimulation. DNA synthesis was measured 21-23 hours after the growth factor administration by 14C-thymidine incorporation in acid-insoluble material and the ratio of this fraction to exogenous thymidine uptake. Moreover, the polar solvent dimethylsulfoxide, present in culture medium at low concentration (0.1-0.5%), also caused a decrease in the basal level of 14C-thymidine incorporation in resting cells, and a less decrease in the induced incorporation.
