The early and late effects of cis-DDP treatment on liver cell kinetics were analyzed after its intraperitoneal injection into 17-day old rats. Frequency of binucleate hepatocytes, cellular DNA content distribution, 3H-thymidine labelling and ultrastructure of the nuclei were analyzed. Two days after treatment, a block of mononucleate hepatocytes in the S phase and in the G2 phase was demonstrated by the increase of intermediate 2c-4c and 4c DNA values in the absence of changes in 3H-thymidine labelling; 8c binucleate cells, which are essential for the formation of tetraploid mononucleate cells, were not found. In cell nuclei, large areas of more condensed chromatin appeared, perhaps providing further evidence for a G2 block. Seven days after treatment, there was a tendency to catch up with the normal situation, as shown by the unblocking of the S phase in mononucleate cells indicated by both cytophotometry and autoradiography. The presence of 8c binucleate cells and 4c-8c mononucleate cells indicates that 4c mononucleate hepatocytes are either diploid cells in the G2 phase or true tetraploid G1 cells. The decrease in the heterochromatin areas and the appearance of hypertrophic nucleoli demonstrate an increase in the metabolic activity of the nuclei. Thirty six days after treatment, the incidence of different DNA hepatocyte classes and the 3H-thymidine labelling were already similar in control and in treated rats.
