The objective of this study was to determine the points in the cell cycle at which normal and transformed cells become arrested as a result of polyamine deprivation. Treatment of normal (human fibroblast line PA2 and mouse 3T3) and transformed (CHO, HeLa and SV3T3) cells with methylglyoxal bis‐(guanyl‐hydrazone) resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of spermidine and spermine which was associated with an inhibition of growth. Examination of the prematurely condensed chromosomes (PCC) of the polyaminedepleted cells, revealed that normal fibroblasts were preferentially arrested in early G1 phase while a majority of cells in the transformed lines were blocked in S phase. A close examination of the PCC of the transformed cells indicated a significant decrease in the number of DNA replication sites suggesting that polyamines have an important role in DNA chain initiation.
