The cell cycle dependence of thermotolerance. III. HeLa cells heated at 45.0 degrees C.

We have extended our studies on the cell cycle dependence of thermotolerance to include HeLa cells heated at 45.0 degrees C to compare the results to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. We found that asynchronous HeLa cells were more resistant to heat than CHO cells but showed a similar development and decay of thermotolerance. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to study redistributions in the cell cycle after an initial heat dose. Cells heated for 35 min at 45.0 degrees C were delayed in G1 by about 7 h compared to controls, with delays in late S and G2/M phase also. The heat sensitivity varied through the cell cycle; G1 cells were the most resistant to heat, while S-phase cells were uniformly sensitive throughout S phase, and G2 cells were resistant. Thermotolerance could be induced and expressed in early or late S-phase cells, but to a lesser extent than for G1 cells. The results were similar in many respects to CHO cells, but there were significant differences.
