Many studies have demonstrated changes in the levels of several ions during apoptosis, but a few recent studies have reported conflicting results concerning the changes in water content in apoptotic cells. We used a correlative light and cryo-scanning transmission electron microscopy method to quantify water and ion/element contents simultaneously at a nanoscale resolution in the various compartments of cells, from the onset to the end of apoptosis. We used stably transfected HeLa cells producing H2B-GFP to identify the stages of apoptosis in cells and for a targeted elemental analysis within condensed chromatin, nucleoplasm, mitochondria and the cytosol. We found that the compartments of apoptotic cells contained, on average, 10% more water than control cells. During mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, we observed a strong increase in the Na+ and Cl- contents of the mitochondria and a strong decrease in mitochondrial K+ content. During the first step in apoptotic volume decrease (AVD), Na+ and Cl- levels decreased in all cell compartments, but remained higher than those in control cells. Conversely, during the second step of AVD, Na+ and Cl- levels increased considerably in the nucleus and mitochondria. During these two steps of AVD, K+ content decreased steadily in all cell compartments. We also determined in vivo ion status during caspase-3 activity and chromatin condensation. Finally, we found that actinomycin D-tolerant cells had water and K+ contents similar to those of cells entering apoptosis but lower Na+ and Cl- contents than both cells entering apoptosis and control cells. 相似文献

Improvement in the staining and in the visualization of the argyrophilic proteins of the nucleolar organizer region at the optical level 总被引:50,自引:0,他引:50

Summary The argyrophilic proteins of the nucleolar organizer region (Ag-NOR proteins) were specifically localized at the optical level with a modified one-step silver technique performed at 20° C.This method was applied to various materials including cells in smears, chromosomes, semi-thin sections of plastic-embedded cells and sections of paraffin-embedded human pathological tissues.In order to improve the visualization of the silver deposits we tested various modes of imaging, including bright-field, Nomarski contrast, reflected light and combined Nomarski contrast with reflected light. The use of Nomarski contrast is useful to define precisely the phases of mitosis. The use of reflected light, which is based on the ability of silver to reflect incident light specifically, gives images with an improved resolution compared to bright-field. 相似文献

Terrestrial carbon stock mapping is important for the successful implementation of climate change mitigation policies. Its accuracy depends on the availability of reliable allometric models to infer oven‐dry aboveground biomass of trees from census data. The degree of uncertainty associated with previously published pantropical aboveground biomass allometries is large. We analyzed a global database of directly harvested trees at 58 sites, spanning a wide range of climatic conditions and vegetation types (4004 trees ≥ 5 cm trunk diameter). When trunk diameter, total tree height, and wood specific gravity were included in the aboveground biomass model as covariates, a single model was found to hold across tropical vegetation types, with no detectable effect of region or environmental factors. The mean percent bias and variance of this model was only slightly higher than that of locally fitted models. Wood specific gravity was an important predictor of aboveground biomass, especially when including a much broader range of vegetation types than previous studies. The generic tree diameter–height relationship depended linearly on a bioclimatic stress variable E, which compounds indices of temperature variability, precipitation variability, and drought intensity. For cases in which total tree height is unavailable for aboveground biomass estimation, a pantropical model incorporating wood density, trunk diameter, and the variable E outperformed previously published models without height. However, to minimize bias, the development of locally derived diameter–height relationships is advised whenever possible. Both new allometric models should contribute to improve the accuracy of biomass assessment protocols in tropical vegetation types, and to advancing our understanding of architectural and evolutionary constraints on woody plant development. 相似文献

The three-dimensional structure of the nucleolar argyrophilic components was studied by recording stereo-pairs of tilted thick sections--0.5-2 microns thick--observed with 200 and 300 kV high-voltage electron microscopy (HVEM). Using a very specific silver staining method, the argyrophilic components were stained with a high contrast relatively to the unstained background, thus allowing their study with a high resolution within thick sections. This study was performed on compact nucleoli (of HL60 and K562 cells), on reticulated nucleoli (of human breast cancerous cells) and on metaphasic nucleolar organizer regions (NORs). In compact nucleoli argyrophilic components show a 'knotted rope-like' structure in which knots are constituted of one central fibrillar centre surrounded at some distance by loops of the dense fibrillar component and in which the rope is constituted of dense fibrillar component. In reticulated nucleoli silver deposits are confined to the surface of the nucleolonema as several strands twisted at the periphery of the fibrillar component. During metaphase some NORs get a characteristic crescent-shaped structure disposed at the periphery of some chromosomes. 相似文献

Behaviour of nucleolus during mitosis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The aim of the present work was to study the distribution and the behaviour of the silver-staining nucleolar organizer region (Ag-NOR) proteins at the ultrastructural level during interphase and mitosis in five human and murine cancerous cell lines each characterized by a typical nucleolar morphology. During interphase the Ag-NOR proteins are restricted to the fibrillar centres (F.C.) and/or to the dense fibrillar component (D.F.C.). During prophase the silver-staining components come into close contact with some chromosomes and are arranged with a typical polarity: chromosome, F.C. and D.F.C. Then F.C. and D.F.C. together form roundish silver-stained structures and integrate in part within indentations at the periphery of the metaphase chromosomes. During anaphase and telophase large and small spherical silver-staining structures may be seen. They correspond respectively to the metaphase NORs and to numerous structures which appear de novo within ribonucleoprotein (RNP) material localized between the chromosomes. During late telophase the number of the small silver-staining structures decreases whereas the size of the larger ones increases. Then the interphase nucleoli recover their typical shape. These results suggest that when rRNA synthesis is impaired during mitosis the inactive NORs assume a structure and a localization which are not typical of the cell line. In contrast the F.C. and D.F.C. are probably two aspects of the NORs whose typical distribution, relative to the other nucleolar components, gives the interphasic nucleolus its characteristic morphology. 相似文献
