Abstract excerpt
Cultured bovine adrenocortical cells reach replicative senescence after 100-120 population doublings in culture. Before reaching senescence, cells undergo high frequency phenotypic switching from CYP17+ to CYP17-, where '+' and '-' refer to the ability of intracellular cyclic AMP to induce expression of CYP17 (steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase). We used luciferase reporter constructs to assess the activity of the...
