Abstract:The effect of mitomycin C (10 µg/mL) on HeLa M cells was studied using light microscopy, time lapse imaging, and digital image analysis. It was shown that after 2 h of being in contact with mitomycin, the cells could be divided into two groups: M I, functional cells surviving after division but not entering mitosis, and M II, cells entering mitosis but incapable to complete it, which results in their death. It is known that mitomycin C, being located in the DNA minor groove, specifically blocks DNA replication… Show more
