title: [Changes in the cytoskeleton and surface charge as a possible cause of the increased mechanical binding between enterocytes in the small intestine epithelium induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine].
abstract: Alterations in the mechanical linkage between the enterocytes in BALB/c mouse colonic epithelium were investigated under the influence of agents affinitable to the cell surface and cytoskeleton. It is found that cytochalasin B (10(-6) - 10(-5) g/ml), low pH (pH 3) and low concentration of colchicine (10(-8) g/ml) increased, but EDTA (5 X 10(-3) g/ml) and high concentration of colchicine (10(-4) g/ml) reduced the magnitude of mechanical linkage between the enterocytes. A comparative analysis of the data obtained with the control and with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) treated mice indicates that probable reasons of a DMH-induced rise in the intercellular mechanical linkage may involve the decrease in electrostatic repulsive forces between the cell surfaces, and the weakening of centripetal tensions due to a decrease in negative surface charge and disorganization of the microfilament system, respectively. These alterations of the cell surface negative charge and the cytoskeleton are expressed on day 3 after a single injection of DMH and are seen to persist during repeated carcinogen applications.
