Induction of teratocarcinoma cell differentiation: Effect of the inhibitors of DNA synthesis

Induction of teratocarcinoma cell (F9) differentiation was studied by using inhibitors of DNA synthesis and several agents known to be differentiation inducers. Inhibition of DNA synthesis induced changes in cell surface marker F9 and stimulated the production of plasminogen activator (PA) in a mann...

Zusammenfassung:Induction of teratocarcinoma cell (F9) differentiation was studied by using inhibitors of DNA synthesis and several agents known to be differentiation inducers. Inhibition of DNA synthesis induced changes in cell surface marker F9 and stimulated the production of plasminogen activator (PA) in a manner that is dependent upon de novo synthesis of RNA and protein. The results thus indicate close association between inhibition of DNA synthesis and induction of cell differentiation. This approach will be useful in investigating the mechanism of teratocarcinoma cell differentiation.
