摘要:
A mitotic cell subset has been identified with nuclear light scatter. Colcemid-treated T-47D human breast cancer cells were permeabilised, stained with ethidium bromide, and analysed by flow cytometry. Cells with G2M DNA content exhibited a unimodal distribution for DNA fluorescence and forward scatter, but two peaks were discernible with 90 degrees light scatter. A discrete low-scattering cell cluster could be distinguished from the G2 cell subset on two-dimensional contour plots of 90 degrees light scatter vs. DNA fluorescence; this cluster was reproduced by mitotic shake-off experiments and varied quantitatively with mitotic indices determined either by microscopy or by stathmokinetic cell-cycle analysis of DNA fluorescence. Cell sorting confirmed that the low-scattering cell cluster comprised predominantly metaphase and anaphase cells. Identification of mitotic cells with this one-step technique enables rapid analysis of drug-induced cell-cycle delay in cell populations with different rates of cell-cycle traverse. Hence, vincristine-induced cytostasis is shown to arise in part because of premitotic G2 arrest, whereas etoposide is shown to affect cycling cells with equal sensitivity in quiescent and activated cell populations. The use of light scatter to discriminate mitotic cells in this way facilitates analysis of drug-induced cell-cycle delay and supplements the information obtainable by conventional cell-cycle analysis.
