Methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone) (mGBG) blocked the stimulation of DNA synthesis in quiescent, density-inhibited BALB/c-3T3 cells treated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP). Competence formation produced by a transient exposure to PDGF was not effected by mGBG. In contrast, mGBG effectively inhibited the PPP-stimulated progression of competent cells through the G1 phase of the cell cycle, although maximal inhibition was observed when mGBG was present during both the exposure to PDGF- and PPP-supplemented media. When quiescent cells were treated with PDGF and PPP-supplemented media in the presence of mGBG for 12-18 hours and the mGBG was then removed, cells entered the S phase after a 4 hour lag. The rate of entry into the S phase, but not the time necessary for the cells to progress from the mGBG block into the S phase, was dependent on the concentration of PPP present after removal of the mGBG. Either somatomedin C or insulin, but not epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, or PDGF were able to substitute for PPP in allowing cells to enter the S phase after the cells were released from the mGBG block. A marked inhibition of (3H)-leucine incorporation in serum-stimulated cultures was produced at mGBG concentrations which caused no decrease in the amount of (3H)-uridine incorporated during a short (15 minute) pulse. The ability of hormones to allow cells to progress to the late G1 phase and become committed to DNA synthesis after a mGBG inhibition was not related to their ability to restore the normal rate of protein synthesis as determined by (3H)-leucine incorporation.
