Recovery kinetics of epidermal cell proliferation after two intraperitoneal injections of epidermal extracts (chalone). 1983

O H Iversen

The cell kinetic effect of two intraperitoneal (IP) injections of 5 mg of crude lyophilized skin extracts given 12 h apart was assessed during the recovery period (5 to 52 h after last injection) by measuring epidermal labelling indices and the specific activity after tritiated thymidine (3HTdR) injection, and by determining the cell cycle phase distribution by flow cytometry. The skin extracts produced an epidermal chalone effect and inhibited both DNA synthesis and mitosis. A slow recovery took place from 5 to between 22 and 36 h after the last chalone injection. During this period the cell flux into DNA-synthesis and mitosis slowly recovered, but the exits were blocked and cells accumulated in the respective phases. The fluxes out opened up at the S phase about 22 h, and at the M phase about 30 h after the second chalone injection. A secondary inhibitory effect was observed at about 40 h, followed by a subsequent recovery to normal at 52 h. The similarity between the recovery kinetics after chalone and that observed after hydroxyurea (HU) is emphasised.

D007399 Interphase The interval between two successive CELL DIVISIONS during which the CHROMOSOMES are not individually distinguishable. It is composed of the G phases (G1 PHASE; G0 PHASE; G2 PHASE) and S PHASE (when DNA replication occurs). Interphases
D008938 Mitosis A type of CELL NUCLEUS division by means of which the two daughter nuclei normally receive identical complements of the number of CHROMOSOMES of the somatic cells of the species.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).

Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
