The antigenic determinant CA 125 is a high molecular weight glycoprotein which is elevated in more than 80% of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Despite its good performance as a human tumor marker, only little is known about its physiological function. According to recent publications, CA 125 production and release appear to be related to cellular growth. In order to investigate this putative relationship more closely, we analyzed the pattern of CA 125 production and release by ovarian cancer cells during exponential cell growth, during cell cycle arrest by colchicine and during inhibition of cellular protein synthesis by cycloheximide. The results were correlated with the cell cycle distribution. According to our results, the main determinant of CA 125 release into the culture supernatant is the total cell count. Although cell cycle arrest in the G2 + M phase by means of colchicine treatment resulted in the death of most cells, which was reflected by an increased release of CA 125, no differences in the intracellular production rate between colchicine treated and untreated cells were seen. In contrast, treatment of cells with cycloheximide not only resulted in decreasing cell numbers but also in a complete inhibition of CA 125 production by surviving cells.
