MATERIALS AND METHODS Cells: Cultures of C3H-10T1/2 (CLS) mouse fibroblasts were maintained as described (14) using Basal Eagle's Medium (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Sterile Systems, Logan, UT). Growth medium was renewed every 3-4 days. Confluence was reached at 8-10 days, and postconfluent cells were used for the experiments (48-72 hours after the time of confluence). Experiments were performed on duplicate cultures in 60 mm diameter culture plates (Falcon Plastics). Drugs: DHTB was a gift of T. Sugimura and H. Fujita (National Cancer Research Institute, Tokyo). TPA and analogs were obtained from Chemical Carcinogens, Eden Prairie, MN. 3H-Thymidine (3H-dThd) was purchased from ICN. Cycloheximide {reagent grade) was obtained from Sigma Chemicals. DNA fragmentation is measured as previously described by Kanter and Schwartz (15, 16) and a fragmentation index is calculated as the quotient of the radioactivity extracted from the single stranded DNA and the total amount extracted from both single and double stranded DNA.RESULTS Serum deprivation: Replicate cultures of exponentially proliferating 10T1/2 cells were transferred to serum-free medium at T= O. The 24h cumulative incorporation of 3H-dThd was then determined for three sequential periods from T= O to 24h, 24h to 48h, and 48h to 72h respectively. As seen in Table 1, the density of radiolabelled nuclei observed (1 uCi/5ml, 5 Ci/mmole 3H-dThd) during the first 24h period following serum withdrawal was found to be 2.23 x 103 labeled nuclei/cmL whereas, in those treated with 10-sM TPA this value increased to 6.13 x 103 reflecting the expected mitogenic activity. The number of labeled nuclei observed in the second and third 24h period was reduced to 0.52 and 0.88 labeled nuclei/cm z as the cells reached quiescence. The total cell density showed a similar reduction from 8.38 x 104 nuclei/cm 2, to a stable plateau of 5.9 x 104 nuclei/cm z at the end of the third and final 24h period. When TPA was added during the second or third periods after serum
