We have studied the influence of translation of inhibitor cycloheximide (CHI) on the Chinese hamster fibroblast line FAF28. This treatment inhibited the cell cycle and induced apoptosis. A short-term treatment and the following removal of CHI reduced the number of apoptotic cells up to the normal level. Under changed conditions (change in CO2 proportion and pH of cultural medium), the ability of CHI to induce apoptosis increases. The study of cell ultrastructure demonstrates three groups of apoptotic cells differing from each other in the state of cytoplasmic organelles: 1) cells with many well-identified organelles; 2) cells with a scanty number of cytoplasmic organelles; 3) cells lacking any recognizable organelles in the cytoplasm. Presumable causes of this morphological variety of apoptotic cells are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008940 Mitotic Index An expression of the number of mitoses found in a stated number of cells. Index, Mitotic,Indices, Mitotic,Mitotic Indices
D011500 Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins.
