Increased RNA Synthesis in Nuclear Monolayers of WI-38 Cells Stimulated to Proliferate

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Nuclear monolayers of WI-38 cells prepared by the method of Tsai and Green were used to determine RNA synthesis in isolated nuclei in situ. In nuclear monolayers, incorporation of [3H]UTP into RNA is dependent on the presence of the other three nucleotide triphosphate and is abolished by actinomycin D. The extent of RNA synthesis under these conditions was measured in density-inhibited WI-38 human diploid fibroblasts at various intervals after cell proliferation was stimulated by a change of medium.
