Several reports have suggested that silicon has an activating effect on cell proliferation. In order to test this hypothesis, both peripheral human lymphocytes and LDV/7 lymphoblast cells were cultured in the presence of a compound composed of monomethylsilanetriol (silanol), a soluble organic form of silicon, and serine. This molecule stimulates peripheral lymphocyte proliferation at an optimal concentration of 10 mg of silicon per liter of culture medium; in identical conditions, it inhibits the growth of lymphoblastoïd cells (p less than 0.001). Silanol-serine also inhibits the growth of PHA stimulated lymphocytes. The effect of silicon on cell growth has a negative correlation (p less than 0.001) with the mitotic activity of cultured cells: the more intense the latter, the stronger is the inhibitory effect of silanol-serine. This would suggest a regulatory role of this compound on the cell cycle.
