Abstract:
:The relationship between activation of resting chick embryo fibroblasts by proteases and proteolytic alteration of the cell surface has been investigated. Five different proteases were examined: trypsin, collagenase, plasmin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and thrombin. All of these proteases, when added to the culture medium at concentrations of 0.08-2.2 mug/ml, stimulated deoxyglucose uptake and induced cell division. The absolute levels of stimulation depended on the specific protease. Activation ranged from a doubling in cell number in 24 hr for trypsin and thrombin down to a 47% increase in cell number for alpha-chymotrypsin. Except in the case of thrombin, the stimulatory effects of these proteases correlated with breakdown of Z, a protein which is the major chick surface protein as revealed by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination and which disappears upon transformation. In the case of thrombin, stimulatory concentrations brought about no detectable loss of surface components. Thus loss of Z is not a necessary condition for activation of chick fibroblasts; it may be a sufficient condition for activation of part of the cell population.
