Abstract excerpt
Microfilaments and microtubules are components of the cytoskeleton which could be implicated in neoplastic transformation. We studied the effect of two hepatic tumor promoters, phenobarbital (PB) and biliverdin (BV), on microfilaments and microtubules of non-transformed (Cl3) and transformed (FV) hepatic epithelial cells. Cl3 non-transformed cells cultured in the presence of 1 X 10(-6) M BV for 48 h showed a loss...
