High specific activity tritiated thymidine (HSA-[3H]TdR) and colcemid were given in cytotoxic doses and regimens to B6CF1/Anl mice. The number of cells per intestinal crypt was reduced by the S-phase-specific (HSA-[3H]TdR and the metaphase blocking and cytotoxic effect of multiple injections of colcemid. In 50-day-old mice, the cytotoxic effect of multiple injections of colcemid reduced both the number of cells per crypt and the clonogenic cell survival. However, the number of surviving intestinal clonogenic or stem cells, assayed by the microcolony technique, did not change in 110--130-day old mice. These data suggest that most of the cells at risk from these cytotoxic agents are not clonogenic in adult 110--130-day old mice but are the cells in amplification division. However, since the stem cells of young mice are more susceptible to colcemid, they are apparently in a more rapid cell cycle than those of older mice. The clonogenic cell survival measured in 110--130-day old mice after a single radiation dose of 14 Gy (1400 rad) responded in a non-linear way to increasing time of continuous colcemid cytotoxicity. These data suggest that the intestinal stem cells can respond to amplification compartment cell death by a shortening of their cell cycle and thus, over time, the number of stem cells at risk to colcemid cytotoxicity increases.
