摘要
HEp-2 [human larynx carcinoma] cell monolayers were treated with 40% polyethylene glycol for 5 min which resulted in fusion during the subsequent incubation period. A loss of cell membrane components was detected in the polyethylene glycol-treated and phosphate buffer/saline-treated control cells; however, the polyethylene glycol-treated cells released nearly twice the amount of [14C]acetate-labeled material and [3H]glycerol-labeled lipids into culture fluids than the control cells. The polyethylene glycol-treated cells released only .apprx. 1/2 the amount of protein, glycoprotein and glycolipid as the control cells. Apparently polyethylene glycol exerts a differential mode of action against cell surface components and causes the treated cells to release membrane components rich in lipids but relatively low in protein and carbohydrate-containing components.
