The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of two different types of liver cell proliferative stimuli, namely compensatory regeneration and direct hyperplasia on DNA synthesis of normal and preneoplastic isolated hepatocytes. Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) isolated from male Wistar rats treated with three different hepato-mitogens, lead nitrate (LN), cyproterone acetate (CPA) and ethylene dibromide (EDB), or subjected to surgical partial hepatectomy (PH), was tested for its ability to stimulate DNA synthesis in normal and preneoplastic hepatocytes in primary cultures. Induction of DNA synthesis was detected as early as 30 min after CPA, EDB and PH administration and persisted up to 5 days after the LN administration. In addition, hepatocytes isolated from preneoplastic liver nodules were also able to respond in culture to the DNA synthesis stimulus induced by these factors.
