Abstract
Hyperthermia along with hydrocortisone (HC) are proven teratogens that can negatively influence embryo development during early pregnancy. Proliferation of cells is one of the main developmental processes during the early embryogenesis. This study was focused on testing the effect of elevated temperature and HC addition on proliferation of cells in in vitro cultures. The V79-4 cell line was treated with HC and cultured in vitro at 37 °C or 39 °C, respectively. To reveal the effect of both factors, the proliferation of cells cultured under different conditions was evaluated using various approaches (colony formation assay, generation of growth curves, computation of doubling times, and mitotic index estimation). Our results indicate that a short-term exposure to elevated temperature slightly stimulates and a long-term exposure suppresses cell proliferation. However, HC (0.1 mg/ml) acts as a stimulator of cell proliferation. Interestingly, the interaction of HC and long-term elevated temperature (39 °C) exposure results in at least partial compensation of the negative impact of elevated temperature by HC addition and in higher proliferation if compared with cells cultured at 39 °C without addition of HC.
