In 1971 the present author proposed a "Unified Theory on the Basic Mechanism of Normal Mitotic Control and Oncogenesis"' based on results from several preliminary studies which suggested a functional relationship between intracellular ionic conditions and mitogenic activity.2 This hypothesis placed central emphasis upon the intracellular ionic hierarchy (and, consequently, upon the cationiepartitioning capabilities of the cell surface) as the key determinant in controlling mitogenesis activation in somatic cells. The [Na+J, level, in particular, was assumed to be of major mitogenic importance on the basis of results from studies with iontophoretic and other membranebypass techniques, which permitted selective deposition of individual cationic species into the cellular cytoplasm2 Subsequent investigations of the general validity of this mitogenesis-control hypothesis for somatic cells have yielded uniformly confirmatory results, particularly of the basic importance of the [Na+l. These investigations have included cell systems in which changes in ionic (and associated electrical transmembrane potential) levels were measured during development of contact-inhibition of mitosis in monolayer cultures and following release from contact-inhibition by both physical and chemical means?' and systems in which the intracellular ma+] b e 1 was modulated to obtain reversible control of mitogenesis activity.2 3* Although the electrical transmembrane potential &, ) level generally changes concomitantly with changes in the wa+]i, it does not appear that the E, change per se is significantly involved in mitogenesis control.' Observations made under conditions wherein mitogenesis was arrested by imposing a decrease in the "a+>, but without any significant change in the E, level, also support this conclusion. In the initial presentation of the hypothesis,' two fundamentally important predictions (or consequences) of the thesis were pointed out: (1) that such highly refractory cells, mitogenically, as CNS neurons might be induced to initiate mitogenesis in response to treatments that produced an adequate elevation of the [Na+]i for a sufficient period (corresponding to a sustained ionic concentrationmediated depolarization of the cell), and (2) that malignantly transformed cells should possess a sipficantly elevated [Na+]i compared to that of the homologous no& cells, ostensibly as a consequence of a transformation-induced dysfunction in the cell-surface ion-partitioning capability with respect to Na+, and that this continuously elevated [Na+]i is the causation of the malignant proliferation.
