    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of glucocorticoid on human neoplastic salivary duct epithelial cell line (HSG). Dexamethasone was found to inhibit cell growth and to increase cell size and the ratio of protein content to DNA content in a cell. The inhibition of cell growth was dose-dependent; in comparison to the control (33.8 +/- 3.1 h), the population doubling time was 1.57-fold longer in 10(-5) M dexamethasone (P less than 0.01, N-K test). [3H] thymidine incorporation was inhibited in 45.5% of the control at 10(-5) M. Plating efficiency was 20.5 +/- 3.0% in 10(-5) M and 47.0 +/- 4.4% in the absence of dexamethasone. Cell diameters increased 1.29 fold in 10(-5) M dexamethasone in comparison to the control size (16.0 +/- 2.1 micron). The ratio of total protein content of DNA content increased 1.46 fold in 10(-5) M dexamethasone-treated cells on the seventh day of cultivation. Scatchard plot analysis using [6, 7-3H]-triamcinolone revealed that the HSG cells had apparent cytosolic glucocorticoid receptors with an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd value) of 6.48 nM, whose number of binding sites (NBS) was 57.8 fmol/mg protein.
