TLDR
Radioactive hydrocortisone is rapidly distributed into HeLa cells irrespective of their position in the cell cycle, indicating that inductive effects are not governed by selective permeability during thecell cycle.Abstract:
The increase in alkaline phosphatase in asynchronous cultures of HeLa S3 cells grown in medium supplemented with hydrocortisone is characterized by a lag period of 10–12 hr. Present studies utilizing synchronous cell populations indicate: (a) a minimum of 8–10 hr of incubation with hydrocortisone is necessary for maximum induction of alkaline phosphatase; (b) the increase in enzyme activity produced by hydrocortisone is initiated exclusively in the synthetic phase of the cell cycle; (c) alkaline phosphatase activity does not vary appreciably over a normal control cell cycle. Radioactive hydrocortisone is rapidly distributed into HeLa cells irrespective of their position in the cell cycle, indicating that inductive effects are not governed by selective permeability during the cell cycle. Hydrocortisone-1,2-[3H] diffuses back from the cell into the medium when the cells are incubated in fresh medium containing no hydrocortisone, and the alkaline phosphatase induction, under these conditions, is completely reversible.read more

Perspectives on alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes
TL;DR: In addition to the bone source, isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase from liver, intestine and placenta have now been found to contribute importantly to the serum, either individually, or in combination, which provides new insights into the mechanism of uncompetitive inhibition.

Glucocorticoid receptor phosphorylation: Overview, function and cell cycle-dependence
Jack E. Bodwell,Jeffrey C. Webster,Christine M. Jewell,John A. Cidlowski,Jiong-Ming Hu,Allan Munck +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence to date indicates that steroid hormone receptor phosphorylation serves not as an on-off switch but modulates function more subtly, suggesting a causal relation to the cell cycle-dependence of glucocorticoid activity reported with several cell lines.

Growth and nucleic acid synthesis in synchronously dividing populations of HeLa cells.
T. Terasima,L.J. Tolmach +1 more
TL;DR: Synchronization of HeLa S3 cells may be effected by a purely selective method which takes advantage of the tenuous binding of cells to the growth surface during mitosis, and synchronization of the population appears to arise largely during the G 1 phase.

Induction of tyrosine alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase by steroid hormones in a newly established tissue culture cell line.
TL;DR: The characteristics of one of these lines in which glucocorticoids induce a rapid, substantial increase in the activity of tyrosine a-ketoglutarate transaminase are described, which has remained stable as to growth and inducibility for over a year.

The mechanism of colchicine inhibition of mitosis. i. kinetics of inhibition and the binding of h3-colchicine.
TL;DR: H3-colchicine of high specific activity was prepared and based on the correlation between the time of first appearance of blocked mitoses and the radioactivity per cell, it is suggested that if a critical fraction of the sites are complexed, the cell is unable to form a functional mitotic spindle.
