RESUMO
An increase in cell size and protein content is characteristic of cells undergoing hypertrophy and of replicating cells prior to DNA synthesis. Cell enlargement in the two situations could be regulated by similar early events with an interruption of the cell cycle occurring in hypertrophy, or the two processes could be uncoupled. In vivo models were used to compare hypertrophy induced by unilateral nephrectomy and hyperplasia induced by folic acid injection in rabbit renal cortical cells. Within 48 hr, cell volume increased in both groups but the number of cells in the cell cycle and DNA synthesis was increased only after folic acid. Patterns of mRNA expression of the following three groups of cell cycle-dependent genes were analyzed: (i) protooncogenes (c-fos, c-myc, and c-Ha-ras), (ii) structural protein genes (vimentin and beta-actin), and (iii) transport protein genes (Na+, K+-ATPase, ADP-ATP translocase, and calcyclin). mRNAs for all genes, except calcyclin and c-Ha-ras, were detected in controls. Folic acid generally induced rapid, transient increases in mRNA levels, but after unilateral nephrectomy, expression of most mRNAs showed a gradual, progressive increase. These data indicate that gene expression in the early stages of cell enlargement differs in cells destined to undergo proliferation vs. hypertrophy. The term "sustained message amplification" is proposed to describe the hypertrophied cell.
