Synchronization of mammalian cells by selection and additional chemical block studied by DNA distribution analysis and BrdUrd-Hoechst 33258-technique.
Cell Prolif. 15, 529-543 (1982)
Ehrlich ascites tumour cells growing in vitro in suspension culture were separated according to volume by the technique of velocity sedimentation in a zonal rotor with a reorienting gradient. Using DNA distribution analysis the sedimentation pattern of the cells could be analysed in detail. With appropriate conditions it was possible to separate pure G1 cells. Samples could also be obtained which were enriched in S or G2 + M cells. The main limitation of the selection in this type of rotor was the reorientation of the gradient which caused disturbances during deceleration of the rotor. The synchronous growth of selected G1 cells has been studied in detail to investigate the reasons for the rather poor synchrony of these cells. The poor synchrony was found to be caused mainly by the small volume of the selected G1 cells compared with the normal volume of G1 cells in an asynchronous population. The synchronization of these cells could be essentially improved by a short treatment with excess thymidine causing a metabolic block at the G1/S border. The duration of this treatment could be minimized using DNA distribution analysis of growing cells after releasing of the block. The durations of the cell cycle phases in synchronized cells agreed with the values calculated in asynchronous cells by DNA distribution analysis and the BrdUrd-Hoechst 33258-technique.
