  • Title: Radiation-induced progression delay in HeLa cells blocked in S phase by aphidicolin.
    Author: Beetham KL, Labanowska JM, Tolmach LJ.
    Journal: Radiat Res; 1991 Mar; 125(3):331-4. PubMed ID: 1900372.
    Abstract:
    The duration of the cell cycle in synchronous cultures of HeLa S3 cells that were either irradiated with 3.5 Gy of 220-kV X rays in mid-S phase or treated in early G1 or mid-S phase for several hours with 1 or 3 microM aphidicolin, or were subjected to both treatments, was measured by time-lapse cinemicrography. When compared with the generation time of untreated cells, the delay in cell progression with the combined treatment was found to be less than the sum of the delays with the individual treatments, but longer than the imposed delay caused by treatment with aphidicolin alone. Because recovery from potentially lethal radiation damage proceeds in the presence of aphidicolin, this finding suggests that a portion of the radiation-induced delay in cell progression may be associated with processes other than those that directly affect cell viability. It was also observed that the incidence of both spontaneous and radiation-induced sister-cell fusion is decreased in cultures incubated in the presence of aphidicolin.
